Our Policy:
Nurtured Paws Inc. ( the “Company” or “we”) owns and operates a number of shopping portal websites, including Nurturedpaws.com, aiinc.com, weathertabs.com, 5dayforecast.net (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy describes what types of user information we collect, how we use it, and how you can opt out. By accessing the site and using the site’s services, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use.
Information We Collect:
When you interact with the Company through any of our sites or services, we collect certain types of personal information to enable our site’s features to function. However, we do not require a login or account to interact with our shopping sites, and you are free to browse our sites without providing any Personally Identifying Information.
Information Collected Automatically: Some information is collected automatically: this includes IP addresses, device IDs, device type, geo-location info, referral URL, and anonymous information collected through the use of cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies.
Information You Provide: We collect and store information that you provide us when you communicate with us or on the site, such as community discussions or correspondence to us through our contact forms. In some instances, such as commenting on a blog post, our system may ask for Personally Identifying Information, like your name and email. Use of the blog commenting system is at your own discretion and is not necessary for the main shopping functions on the site. If you provide your email to subscribe to our blog posts, we may email you regarding new posts. There will be an unsubscribe link in each email, and we will not share your email with other companies except for site functionality and analysis purposes as described below.
If you believe that you have received an unsolicited email from us, please contact us as directed below and we will investigate.
By accessing the sites and services of Nurtured Paws, you are agreeing to our use of your personal data in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Non-Identifiable or Aggregated Data:
When you interact with the Company through the Site or Services, we receive and store certain personally non identifiable information. We track this information either directly or through a third-party tracking service. Such information, which is collected passively using various technologies, cannot presently be used to specifically identify you. The Company may store such information itself or such information may be included in databases owned and maintained by the Company affiliates, agents or service providers. The Site may use such information and pool it with other information from the Site to track, for example, the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, the domain names of our visitors’ Internet service providers, and how our users use and interact with the Services. Also, in an ongoing effort to better understand and serve the users of the Services, the Company often conducts research on its customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the Personal Data and other information provided to us, including our visitors’ geographic location, age, gender, job title and income. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis. The Company may share this non-identifiable and aggregate data with its affiliates, agents and business partners, but this type of non-identifiable and aggregate information does not identify you personally. The Company may also disclose aggregated user statistics in order to describe our Services to current and prospective business partners, and to other third parties for other lawful purposes.
In operating the Site, we may also use a technology called “Cookies.” A Cookie is a small file that is stored on your computer that hosts your data connected with our site. Our Cookies help provide additional functionality to the Site and help us analyze Site usage more accurately. For instance, a site may set a cookie on your
browser that allows you access that site without needing to remember and enter a password more than once during your visit. Cookies may be necessary for some site functionality but can be blocked or declined using your browser’s technology.
We may also use a third-party advertising partner that employs a software technology called clear gifs (also called Web Beacons/Web Bugs) to help us better manage content on our Site by informing us what content is effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track your online movements. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s computer hard drive, clear gifs are embedded invisibly on web pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We may tie the information gathered by clear gifs to your Personally Identifying Information. We use clear
gifs in our emails to let us know which emails have been opened by recipients; this allows us to gauge the effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns.
You are free to decline or block both Cookies and Web Beacons using your browser’s functionality or other applications. Refer to the documentation provided by those platforms for instructions on blocking, deleting, or disabling Cookies and Web Beacons. If you do not use cookies on our site, some of the site’s functionalities may be unusable.
Our Use of Your Personally Identifying Data and Other Information:
The Company uses the Personally Identifying Data you provide in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Policy. If you provide Personally Identifying Data for a certain reason, we may use the Personally Identifying Data in connection with the reason for which it was provided. For instance, if you contact us by email, we will use the Personally Identifying Data you provide to answer your question or resolve your problem. The Company, and its subsidiaries and affiliates (the “Related Companies”), may also use your Personally Identifying Data and other personally non-identifiable information collected through the Site to help us improve the content and functionality of the Site, to better understand our users, and to improve our services.
The Company and its Related Companies may use this information to communicate with you regarding the Services or to tell you about services we believe will be of interest to you. If we do so, each marketing communication we send you will contain instructions permitting you to “opt-out” of receiving future marketing communications. In addition, if at any time you wish not to receive any future marketing communications or you wish to have your information deleted from our mailing lists, please contact us as indicated below.
We do not sell or rent your Personally Identifying Data to third parties for marketing reasons without your explicit consent.
Our Disclosure of Your Personal Data and Other Information:

Agents, Consultants and Related Third Parties: The Company, like many businesses, sometimes hires other companies to perform certain business-related functions.

When we employ another company to perform a function of this nature, we only provide them with the information that they need to perform their specific function.

The Site may contain links to other websites not operated or controlled by the Company (the “Third Party Sites”). The policies and procedures we described here do not apply to the Third-Party Sites.
