Other Information We Collect:
When you purchase a product we ask you for information such as name, address, and credit card information. We store and use this information so we can process your order. If necessary, we might use this information to contact you for help processing your order. From time to time we send out notices by email of special offers or sales on our site. If for any reason, you do not want to receive these notifications, just email us at contact@SwankPets.com, or contact us using one of the methods listed below under How to Contact Us. Each email offer also includes simple instructions on how to remove your e-mail address from future mailings.

Whenever you send us personal correspondence, such as e-mail or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the site, we may collect and store such information. From time to time, SwankPets.com holds contests and sweepstakes. We will collect and store all information relating to such contests and sweepstakes. SwankPets.com might purchase information from third parties in order to supplement the information we have received from our customers.

Removing Your Information from Our Records If for some reason, you want us to remove your credit card and contact information from our database, we will, but only after all of your transactions have been completed. All you have to do is send us e-mail at contact@SwankPets.com, or contact us using one of the methods listed below under How to Contact Us. Such information, however, is never completely removed from our database archives because we routinely back up our servers for disaster recovery and tax-record purposes.
