一般信息

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.

收集的信息及其用途

我们收集关于客户的两类信息：

流量数据是指无法识别您个人身份的匿名信息，但有助于改善您在本网站上的体验并追踪网站使用情况。我们还可能使用“Cookie”来根据您的兴趣定制内容，确保您不会反复看到相同的促销内容，并存储您的密码（如需发放），以便您无需在每次访问本网站时重新输入。 当您访问本网站时，我们会自动追踪并收集以下信息：(i) IP地址；(ii) 域名服务器；(iii) 计算机类型；以及 (iv) 网页浏览器类型（统称“流量数据”）。

个人信息是指能够识别您个人身份的信息。它包括但不限于联系信息（姓名、地址、公司名称、公司地址、电话号码、传真号码和电子邮件地址）、财务信息（购买时的支付信息）以及人口统计信息（年龄、性别、企业类型和规模等）。 为了使您能够使用本网站提供的某些专项服务和/或购买产品，我们可能会要求您向我们提供“个人信息”。如果您通过电子邮件与我们联系，或在线填写调查问卷，您提供的任何信息都可能被作为个人信息收集。

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.

Cookie的使用

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.

电子邮件

WPA不会出售电子邮件地址。WPA不会将其电子邮件地址列表与第三方共享，除非法律、法规或政府要求如此，或在受限条件下与履行与WPA活动直接相关义务的WPA承包商共享。

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.

信息安全与披露

WPA 采取合理的安全措施来保护像您这样的用户提供的信息。尽管 WPA 已采取相关安全措施，但您应知悉，对于通过互联网传输的信息，无法保证其绝对安全。

WPA 将尽可能对您的个人信息进行管控，除非本《隐私政策》另有规定，否则我们不会向第三方披露您的个人信息。尽管我们致力于维护您个人信息的机密性，但如果法律要求，我们保留在未事先征得您同意的情况下披露此类信息的权利。

隐私保护的其他限制

本网站包含指向其他网站的链接。我们不对这些网站的隐私政策或内容承担责任。请注意，在这些网站上披露的任何信息均受其隐私政策和做法的约束。我们无法控制这些信息的使用，因此您在决定披露个人信息时应谨慎行事。

选择退出

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.

免责声明

WPA 保留随时修改本隐私政策的权利，且无需事先通知。您继续使用本网站即视为接受本隐私政策。除非我们就使用条款的变更向您发出通知并提供选择权，否则政策修订仅适用于修订政策生效之日后收集的信息；若我们已就变更发出通知并提供选择权，则所有信息均受新政策约束。
