How We Secure Your Personal Information
In order to prevent unauthorized access and protect your Personal Information, Dogs Inc has put in place commercially reasonable physical, electronic and administrative safeguards to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of the Personal Information you provide to us. Such security safeguards are intended to be appropriate to the sensitivity of the Personal Information collected. For example, online shopping and contributions are processed using a secure server. In particular, all Personal Information provided to Dogs Inc through the use of the Sites is transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption and Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) protocol. SSL is secure server software that lets your browser automatically encrypt, or scramble, data before you send it to Dogs Inc.
Dogs Inc is committed to properly securing the Personal Information collected online. To help us accomplish this, we take the following steps:
- We employ internal access controls to ensure that the only people who see your information are those with a need to do so to perform their official duties.
- We train relevant personnel on our privacy and security measures.
- We physically secure the areas where we hold hard copies of the information that we collect online.
- We regularly back up the information that we collect online to insure against loss.
- We use technical controls to secure the information that we collect online as appropriate, including but not limited to: Secure Socket Layer (SSL), encryption, firewalls, and password protections.
- We periodically test our security procedures to ensure personnel and technical compliance.
To the extent Dogs Inc transfers any Personal Information to third parties, Dogs Inc will use commercially reasonable efforts to assure that such third parties to whom it may transfer any Personal Information have knowledge of this Privacy Policy and provide sufficient protection of such Personal Information. Unfortunately, however, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information nor can we guarantee that information you supply to use will not be intercepted while in transit to us over the Internet.
Third-Party Processors
When you submit your personal information to Dogs Inc, it may be shared with a reputable third party (“Third Party Processors”). These Third Party Processors may include, for example, companies that process credit card information or handle mailings for Southeastern. These Third Party Processors may correct and/or update users’ data based on information we provide them. We may also use Third Party Processors to deliver materials to you via e-mail or the postal service. Third Party Processors do not retain the information we provide them.

In some cases, you may link to pages of other websites that are framed with elements of Southeastern such as in the header or footer. The URL will identify the site you are visiting.
