일반 정보

World Pet Association (WPA) respects and protects the privacy of everyone who accesses our applications and systems. The information collected from the Website, registration portal and exhibitor portal is used to communicate and assist the end user in obtaining information about WPA and its brands, including SUPERZOO, GROOM’D, petLENS, Groom Curriculum, and WPA Good Works. We will not intentionally disclose personal identifiable information (PII) to any third party not associated with WPA or its brands without specific consent or prior notice to our users.

수집되는 정보 및 그 활용

당사는 고객에 대해 다음 두 가지 유형의 정보를 수집합니다:

트래픽 데이터는 귀하를 개인적으로 식별하지는 않지만, 사이트 이용 경험을 개선하고 사이트 사용 현황을 파악하는 데 도움이 되는 익명 정보입니다. 또한 당사는 귀하의 관심사에 맞는 콘텐츠를 맞춤 설정하고, 동일한 홍보 콘텐츠가 반복적으로 표시되지 않도록 하며, 귀하가 사이트를 방문할 때마다 비밀번호를 다시 입력하지 않아도 되도록(비밀번호 발급이 필요한 경우) 저장하기 위해 “쿠키”를 사용할 수 있습니다. 당사는 귀하가 당사 사이트를 방문할 때 다음 정보를 자동으로 추적 및 수집합니다: (i) IP 주소; (ii) 도메인 서버; (iii) 컴퓨터 유형; 및 (iv) 웹 브라우저 유형(이하 총칭하여 “트래픽 데이터”).

개인정보란 귀하를 개인적으로 식별할 수 있는 정보를 말합니다. 여기에는 연락처 정보(이름, 주소, 회사명, 회사 주소, 전화번호, 팩스 번호 및 이메일 주소), 금융 정보(구매 시 결제 정보) 및 인구통계학적 정보(연령, 성별, 사업 유형 및 규모 등)가 포함되나 이에 국한되지 않습니다. 귀하가 사이트에서 제공하는 특정 전문 서비스에 접근하거나 제품을 구매하기 위해 당사는 귀하에게 “개인정보”의 제공을 요청할 수 있습니다. 귀하가 이메일을 통해 당사와 소통하거나 온라인 설문지를 작성하는 경우, 귀하가 제공하는 모든 정보는 개인정보로 수집될 수 있습니다.

The information we collect may be used to operate and improve our website and services, provide requested information or services, notify customers about relevant updates, and, when we have an applicable lawful basis, communicate for marketing purposes.

If you register to attend, sign up to exhibit, request information, or otherwise interact with WPA or any of its brands—including SUPERZOO, GROOM’D, petLENS, Groom Curriculum, and WPA Good Works—we may use your information to provide the services or information you request and to administer related transactions. We will send promotional mailings or emails only when we have an applicable lawful basis. Where consent is required, WPA will request it through a separate, clear, unchecked opt-in choice that identifies the relevant communications. Giving marketing consent is voluntary and is not a condition of registering for an event, purchasing a product or service, or receiving requested information. You may withdraw consent or object to direct marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe instructions in our communications or contacting info@wpamail.org. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing completed before withdrawal.

We may use Contact Data to provide requested information, administer WPA services and activities, contact you when necessary, and, when we have an applicable lawful basis, send information or promotional material about WPA and its brands. We may use your Financial Data to verify your qualifications for certain products or services and to bill you for products and services. We may use your Demographic Data to understand our audiences, customize and tailor your experience on the Site, and display content that may interest you according to your preferences, subject to applicable law.

International Contacts and GDPR Rights

This section applies when the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or comparable European data protection law governs WPA’s processing of personal information. WPA processes personal information only when it has a lawful basis, which may include your consent, performance of a contract or steps requested before entering a contract, compliance with a legal obligation, or WPA’s legitimate interests when those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests. The applicable basis depends on the purpose and context of the processing.

When WPA relies on consent, the request will be presented clearly and separately and will require an affirmative action. Consent will be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous. WPA will not treat silence, inactivity, or a pre-checked box as consent. Where appropriate, WPA will provide separate choices for different purposes or communication channels and will maintain records of the consent provided. You may withdraw consent at any time as easily as you gave it, without affecting the lawfulness of processing completed before withdrawal.

Personal information collected from international contacts may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where WPA or its service providers operate. When required, WPA will use a legally recognized transfer mechanism and appropriate safeguards, such as an applicable adequacy decision, approved standard contractual clauses, or another lawful mechanism. WPA retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to meet legal, accounting, contractual, and reporting obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction on the processing of your personal information; receive certain information in a portable format; object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing; and withdraw consent. You may also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing when that decision produces legal or similarly significant effects. To exercise a privacy right, contact info@wpamail.org. WPA may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and will respond within the period required by applicable law. You may also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in the country where you live, work, or believe an infringement occurred.

쿠키 사용

Cookies and similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, and software development kits, may be used on WPA websites, registration portals, exhibitor portals, applications, and other digital services. These technologies may collect or store information including device and browser details, IP address, identifiers, pages viewed, links selected, referring pages, approximate location derived from an IP address, and the date and time of activity. Some of this information may constitute personal information under applicable law. WPA may use strictly necessary technologies to operate, secure, and provide requested functions; functional technologies to remember settings and preferences; analytics technologies to understand and improve use of our digital services; and advertising or social media technologies to measure campaigns, personalize content, or support advertising, where applicable.

Where required by applicable law, WPA will request your consent before placing or accessing cookies or similar technologies that are not strictly necessary. You may accept, reject, or manage available categories through the cookie consent tool displayed on the applicable digital service, and you may change or withdraw your choices at any time through the cookie settings link or tool. Strictly necessary technologies cannot be disabled through that tool because they are required for core functions such as security, authentication, network management, and processing requests. You may also adjust browser or device settings, although those controls may not affect every technology and disabling certain technologies may limit features or functionality. WPA and authorized third-party service providers may place or access these technologies for the purposes described above. Additional details—including the specific technologies used, their providers, purposes, categories, and durations—should be made available through the applicable cookie consent tool or cookie notice.

이메일

WPA는 이메일 주소를 판매하지 않습니다. WPA는 법률, 규정 또는 정부의 요청에 따라 요구되는 경우, 혹은 WPA 활동과 직접적으로 관련된 의무를 이행하는 WPA 계약업체와 제한된 범위 내에서 공유하는 경우를 제외하고는 이메일 주소 목록을 제3자와 공유하지 않습니다.

We may contact you by email when necessary to confirm purchases or registrations, provide requested services or information, administer your account, verify information you submit, or send other transactional or service-related notices. Promotional emails about WPA, its brands, special offers, products, services, events, or third-party opportunities will be sent only when WPA has an applicable lawful basis. Where consent is required, you must actively opt in before receiving those communications. Every promotional email will include a clear method to unsubscribe. When you unsubscribe or otherwise opt out of marketing emails, your email address will be added to and maintained on WPA’s email unsubscribe or suppression list so that we can honor your request and prevent future promotional emails. You may withdraw consent or object to direct marketing at any time, and WPA will honor the request as required by applicable law. Opting out of promotional communications will not prevent us from sending necessary transactional, service, security, or legal notices.

정보 보안 및 공개

WPA는 귀하와 같은 사용자가 제출한 정보를 보호하기 위해 합리적인 보안 조치를 취하고 있습니다. WPA가 이러한 보안 조치를 시행하고 있음에도 불구하고, 인터넷을 통해 전송되는 정보의 절대적인 보안을 보장할 수는 없다는 점을 유의하시기 바랍니다.

WPA는 가능한 한 귀하의 개인정보를 엄격히 관리하며, 본 개인정보 처리방침에 달리 명시된 경우를 제외하고는 귀하의 개인정보를 제3자에게 제공하지 않습니다. 당사는 귀하의 개인정보를 기밀로 유지하기 위해 최선을 다하고 있으나, 법률에 의해 요구되는 경우 귀하의 사전 동의 없이 해당 정보를 공개할 권리를 보유합니다.

개인정보 보호에 관한 기타 제한 사항

본 사이트에는 다른 웹사이트로 연결되는 링크가 포함되어 있습니다. 당사는 해당 웹사이트의 개인정보 처리 방침이나 콘텐츠에 대해 책임을 지지 않습니다. 이러한 영역에서 공개되는 모든 정보는 해당 사이트의 개인정보 처리 방침 및 관행의 적용을 받게 됨을 양해해 주시기 바랍니다. 당사는 해당 정보의 사용을 통제할 수 없으므로, 개인정보를 공개할지 여부를 결정할 때 각별히 주의하시기 바랍니다.

수신 거부

If you have questions or concerns about your customer information, would like to review the information we have collected about you, or wish to opt out of marketing communications from WPA, please use the unsubscribe link in a marketing email or contact us at info@wpamail.org. WPA will record and maintain your request on its email unsubscribe or suppression list and use that information only as necessary to honor your preference and prevent future promotional emails. We will implement opt-out requests as required by applicable law. An opt-out from marketing communications does not prevent WPA from sending necessary transactional, service, security, or legal notices.

면책 조항

WPA는 사전 통지 없이 언제든지 본 개인정보 처리방침을 수정할 권리를 보유합니다. 귀하가 본 웹사이트를 계속 이용하는 것은 본 개인정보 처리방침에 동의하는 것으로 간주됩니다. 정책 개정 사항은 개정된 정책의 발효일 이후에 수집된 정보에만 적용됩니다. 단, 당사가 변경 사항에 대해 귀하에게 통지하고 선택권을 부여한 경우에는 모든 정보가 새로운 정책의 적용을 받습니다.
