Information gathered through cookies and server logs may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent at our site, and the websites visited just before and just after our own, as well as your IP address.

Aspenbloom Pet Care/Dr. Kim Bloomer is providing you this site and its related applications and services (collectively, “Service”). The Service may be delivered to you through the Internet via your browser or app (mobile or otherwise).
This privacy policy (“Privacy Statement”) discloses how Aspenbloom Pet Care collects, protects, uses and shares information gathered on this Service.

When you subscribe to this site (blog) or sign up to consult with Dr. Kim Bloomer, as part of the subscription or consultation process, we collect the personal information you give us such as your name, address and email address as well as information about your dog (Health History).

Email marketing: we may send you emails or special newsletters about our site, sales, or updates. We may also use your email to inform you about changes to the site, survey you about your usage, or collect your opinion.

When visitors leave comments on this site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact forms
Our site no longer keeps a contact form due to immense spam being sent through the site. When you do contact us via email, we use the information submitted by you to simply respond to you. Otherwise the email is deleted.

2. How do you get my consent?

When you provide us with personal information to become a subscriber to our site, make a purchase, or consult with Dr. Kim Bloomer, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

You do not have to consent to giving us any personal data. However if you do not consent, you might not be able to buy products or services or receive information from us (unless you change your mind and decide to ‘opt in’).

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing or for your consultation, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

How do I withdraw my consent?

If after you opt-in, you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at anytime, by contacting us at drkim@aspenbloompetcare.com or mailing us at: 1700 17th Ave SE, Rio Rancho, NM 87124. This is sometimes called the ‘right to be forgotten’. We must delete all your personal data if you ask us to.

3. Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if we are required by law to do so or if you violate our Terms of Service – see the terms of service agreement below.

Payment:
If you make a purchase on our site, we use a third party payment processor such as Paypal or Stripe. Payments are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our site and related courses and its service providers.

4. Third Party Services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for your purchase-related transactions.
For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.
As an example, if you are located in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service. For example: Dr. Kim Bloomer or Aspenbloom Pet Care may make chat rooms, forums, message boards, web pages, and/or public spaces available to its users. Please remember that any information that is disclosed in these areas may become public information but, regardless, may be available to other users of the Service and may be used by Aspenbloom Pet Care/Dr. Kim Bloomer. Consequently, you should carefully consider whether to disclose your personal information in such public areas.
