The Pink Pussy Cat Boutique's primary goal in collecting information from you is to improve our service. By knowing a little about you, The Pink Pussy Cat Boutique is able to deliver more relevant content and better service. Due to the personal nature of our services, we have adopted very strict policies to protect our customers' privacy. Our general policy is that if you don't tell us we can divulge information about you, we won't.

• Use of credit card and other financial information: The Pink Pussy Cat Boutique uses your credit card or other financial information only to fulfill your order and provide adjustments and returns when necessary. Your credit card number is encrypted (scrambled) by our shopping cart program for your protection.
• Use of traditional contact information: The Pink Pussy Cat Boutique will use your name, address, and phone number only for the purpose of filling your order unless you tell us that we may use this information otherwise. Unless you give us permission, your information will not be given or sold to third parties or advertisers, and you will not receive unsolicited snail mail or sales phone calls from us.
• Use of email address: We will use your email address to confirm your order and contact you regarding your order when necessary. We may also use your email address to invite you to subscribe to our Members-only e-mail list. We will not send you unsolicited emails containing adult material or product offers without your permission. We will not sell or otherwise distribute your email address to third parties or advertisers without your permission.
• Use of personal information submitted by email, survey, or phone: If your write to us, fill out a survey, or contact us by phone, we may share your question and our answer on our website. If we do so, we will conceal your identity unless you tell us we may identify you.
• Use of aggregate (not personally identifiable) information: The Pink Pussy Cat Boutique does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior based on the information provided to us in email and phone contacts, during promotions, from our server log files, and from surveys. We do this to better understand and serve our users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis, meaning that no personally identifiable information is kept.

With whom does The Pink Pussy Cat Boutique share my information? back to TOP

The Pink Pussy Cat Boutique will not disclose any of your personally identifiable information to anyone except when we have your permission or under special circumstances, such as when we believe in good faith that the law requires it. Due to the existing legal regulatory and security environment, we may be forced to disclose individually identifiable information to third parties. In the unlikely event we are forced to investigate or resolve possible problems or inquiries, we can disclose any information to private entities, law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate.

What are my choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of my information? back to TOP

The Pink Pussy Cat Boutique believes our customers should have complete control over their personal information as well as their relationship with us. We may, from time to time, send you email inviting you to join our email community so that you will hear about our promotions and special offers. But it is always your choice whether or not you take that extra step in your relationship with us. We do not believe in "spam" (sending unsolicited email), selling our customers' information to other companies whose practices we can't oversee, or otherwise violating our customers' privacy. If you receive any unwelcome correspondence from us, please let us know. If you wish to receive no further correspondence from us, we will honor your request, no questions asked. On some Pink Pussy Cat Boutique promotions, we will ask for your email address in order to update you on your score, entries, and status in prize drawings. When you participate in these types of promotions, you automatically receive promotion-related email, unless you choose the no-email option that some promotions offer.

What security precautions are in place to protect my credit card information when I'm shopping? back to TOP

Our shopping cart is secure, which delivers credit card information from the customer to us with the minimum possibility of exposure to prying eyes. When you place an order and submit your credit card information online, your information is encrypted--scrambled into a code recognized only by our server. The only information stored on the server is the last 4 digits of your credit card number.  Your credit card is processed exactly the same as it would be if you were in a physical store and handing your card to a sales clerk at checkout.
