Panther Tattoo
Supplies has created
this privacy policy to demonstrate our firm commitment to protecting
information you submit. This privacy policy only applies to transactions
made, and data gathered, on the Panthertat.to or Panthertattoo.ca web
sites (both sites collectively are, the "Site"),
and does not apply to any other transactions, Internet information,
telephone or offline point of contact between Panther Tattoo Supplies
and you or other consumers (subject to the paragraph below entitled "Special
Provisions Regarding Canadian Call Centres and Customers" which applies
to telephone calls made to Panther Tattoo Supplies. Please review this
privacy policy periodically as we may update it from time to time.
This privacy policy was last revised on January
1st 2007. Each time
you visit the Site or provide us with information, by doing so you
are accepting the practices described in this privacy policy at that
time. You agree that by using the Site you are expressly and affirmatively
consenting to our use and disclosure of the information that you provide,
and consenting to receive emails, as described below in this privacy
policy.
Who We Are
When we say "we" or "Panther Tattoo Supplies" in this privacy policy,
we mean Panther Products Canada, an Ont. number company, operating
as Panther Products Canada to provide tattoo and body modification
supplies and training services to Canada and the United States,
and that operates primarily under the "Panther Tattoo Supplies" brand
name . Accordingly, all information we receive may be shared among
the different parts of Panther Tattoo Supplies in connection with Panther
Tattoo Supplie's operations, and all information that is subject to
this privacy policy will be used in accordance with this privacy policy
by all parts of Panther Tattoo Supplies. However, "Panther Tattoo
Supplies" does
not include the subsidiaries and businesses that
are not part of Panther Products Canada (such as .....................)
are referred to in this privacy policy as "others," "other companies" or "third
parties."
Information We Collect From You
In order to operate the Site and provide you with information on products
and services that may be of interest to you, we may collect "contact
information" (i.e., information that could be used to contact you such
as full name, postal address, phone number and email address as well
as your computer's unique IP address (if any)), "financial information" (i.e.,
passwords, credit and debit card numbers and bank and other financial
institution account numbers) and "demographic information" (e.g., zip
code, postal code, hometown, gender, purchase history information,
posting and cat information and age as well as IP addresses that
are not unique to your computer) from you. Please note that as stated below nowhere
on the Site do we knowingly collect contact information or financial
information from children under the age of 13.
How We Use Contact Information; Responsibility
We
use contact information to help us efficiently perform transactions,
to deliver the services you have requested, to perform quality assurance,
cat analyses and other business analyses, and to contact you in
connection with events for which you order, post or sell products. In some
cases we may use service providers to help us perform some of these
tasks, including, but not limited to, processing or fulfilling your
orders, or performing customer service, business analyses or quality
control, and consequently we may share your contact information with
these service providers. In such cases, we often require these service
providers to enter into agreements with us regarding the confidential
handling of your information. We may also provide your contact information
to your credit card issuer or to credit card processors for their
purposes. When you make a purchase through the Site, or register
with the Site, you will provide us with an email address where we,
or these service providers, may contact you for the purposes described
in this paragraph.
Contacting You for Offers and Promotions.
After
you provide us with an email address in connection with ordering
o through the Site or registering with
the Site, or in connection with any Special Offers as described
below, you may visit the "Ink Slingers" section of the Site, where you will be given
the opportunity to tell us not to use that email address to send you
promotional emails (if you register with PantherTattoo.ca and indicate
that you reside in Canada or any country other than the United States,
or if you register with Panthertat.to and indicate that you reside
in Canada, please see "Special Provisions Regarding Canadian Customers" below). "Promotional emails" are emails that are sent
solely for promotional purposes. By submitting an email address to
us, you agree that Panther Tattoo Supplies (on behalf of itself or on behalf of
others) may send promotional emails to that email address until such
time that you so indicate your preference not to receive them. Because
many consumers like to receive some, but not all, types of promotional
emails, "Ink Slingers " provides you with the opportunity
to choose which types of promotional emails you do not want to receive.
Please note that if you ask not to receive promotional emails from
Panther Tattoo Supplies, you may still receive promotional emails
during the next 72 hour period (as it may take some time for your
preferences to be updated throughout our computer systems), you may
still receive non-promotional emails from Panther Tattoo Supplies,
and you may still receive emails from certain others (including,
but not limited to, Event Providers (defined below)); please read
the rest of this privacy policy to learn how others may contact you.
Providing Event Providers with Contact Information.
Panther
Tattoo Supplies may sell tickets on behalf of others; it does not
produce or otherwise bring you events. Venues, promoters, artists'
representatives and fan clubs, teams, leagues and others are involved
in, produce and bring you events. When you see the word "Event Providers" in
this privacy policy or on this web site, it means those described
in the preceding sentence and their contractors. When you use Panther
Tattoo Supplies to order tickets (or to register while attempting
to orderTickets), instead of providing your information directly
to Event Providers, you provide your contact information to Panther
Tattoo Supplies who may then pass that information on to the Event
Providers on your behalf-in fact, when you bid in an auction or order
through Panther Tattoo Supplies, you consent for us to provide your
email address and other information to the Event Providers. Also,
when you elect to receive alerts regarding a specific Event Provider,
we may share your email address with that Event Provider. Sharing
information with Event Providers will allow Event Providers to contact
you using the email address or other contact information you provided.
If, before we provide your contact information to an Event Provider,
you request not to receive promotional emails from Panther Tattoo
Supplies, then we will pass that request on to the Event Provider
(unless you register with PantherTattoo.ca and indicate you are a
resident of Canada, as further described in "Special
Provisions Regarding Canadian Customers" below). Nonetheless,
because Event Providers are not part of Panther Tattoo Supplies,
Event Providers are not subject to this privacy policy and may still
use your contact information to communicate with you by sending emails
or through other means, and may share your contact information with
others. If you want to learn about a particular Event Provider's
privacy policies, or you do not want to receive communications from
a particular Event Provider, or you have other questions, instructions
or concerns to which you would like an Event Provider to respond,
then you must contact that Event Provider directly. Also, you may
contact an Event Provider directly to learn whether you may purchase
tickets to the Event Provider's event anonymously (i.e., without
having that Event Provider receive your contact information) by purchasing
tickets directly through the Event Provider's box office using cash
instead of purchasing through Panther Tattoo Supplies. Alternatively,
you may purchase tickets at a Panther Tattoo Supplies in-store outlet
and not provide any contact information.
Providing Merchants with Contact Information.
In
addition to selling event tickets on the Site, Panther Tattoo Supplies
may sell other goods or services, allow you to make reservations,
or allow you to participate in (or register for) contests, sweepstakes
or other offers or programs (such as discount or rewards programs,
magazine subscriptions) on the Site. Typically,
these goods, services, contests, sweepstakes or other offers or programs
("Special Offers")
for which you make purchases, orders or reservations, or for which
you participate in or register, are provided by third parties ("Merchants").
Consequently, if you elect to engage in a Merchant's Special Offer,
Panther Tattoo Supplies may provide that Merchant with your contact
information - in fact, when you elect to engage in a Merchant's Special
Offer you consent for us to provide your email address and other
information to that Merchant. Because Merchants are not part of Panther
Tattoo Supplies, Merchants are not subject to this privacy policy
and may use your contact information to communicate with you by sending
emails or through other means, and may share your contact information
with others. If you want to learn about a particular Merchant's privacy
policies, or you do not want to receive communications from a particular
Merchant, or you have other questions, instructions or concerns to
which you would like a Merchant to respond, then you must contact
that Merchant directly.
Divulging Your Contact Information for Legal and Administrative
Reasons.
We may disclose specific contact information when
we determine that such disclosure will be helpful to comply with law,
to cooperate with or seek assistance from law enforcement or to protect
the interests or safety of Panther Tattoo Supplies or other visitors to the Site
or users of services or products provided by Panther Tattoo Supplies or to take
part with others in joint anti-fraud activities. Also, your contact
information may be passed on to a third party in the event of a transfer
of ownership or assets, or a bankruptcy, of Panther Tattoo Supplies.
Providing Non-Panther Tattoo Supplies Affiliates with Contact Information. We
may also share your contact information with our Non-Panther Tattoo
Supplies Affiliates (defined below), but each Non-Panther Tattoo
Supplies Affiliate who receives your contact information will comply
with the terms of this privacy policy with respect to its use and
disclosure of the contact information we share with it, unless the
Non-Panther Tattoo Supplies Affiliate is also receiving it because
it is an Event Provider or Merchant as described above (in which
case it will not be required to comply with this privacy policy with
respect to its use or disclosure of such information). When we say "Non-Panther Tattoo Supplies Affiliates" we mean Panther Tattoo Supplies's subsidiaries,
parents and affiliates (and businesses owned by Panther Tattoo Supplies and such
companies) that are not part of Panther Tattoo Supplies (please see the above
paragraph entitled "Who We Are" to see how "Panther Tattoo Supplies" is
defined). Examples of Non-Panther Tattoo Supplies Affiliates include,
but are not limited to,.....................................................
Responsibility.
Panther Tattoo Supplies will not be responsible
or otherwise liable for any misuse or disclosure of your contact information
by a third party to whom Panther Tattoo Supplies is allowed to disclose your contact
information under this privacy policy.
How We Use Financial Information; Responsibility
We use your financial information to check your qualifications,
to help us efficiently perform cat and other transactions on
the Site, to deliver the goods and services you have requested,
to enroll you in the discount, rebate and other programs in which
you elect to participate and to perform quality assurance. In some
cases we may use, and consequently we may provide to service providers,
your financial information to help us perform some of these tasks.
In such cases, we will require these service providers to enter
into agreements with us regarding the confidential handling of
your information. We may also provide your financial information
to your credit card issuer, financial institutions or credit card
processors to process transactions and for their other purposes.
We may provide your financial information to Event Providers, primarily
for dispute resolution and customer service at the
event venue on the date of the event, and may provide your financial
information to those Merchants who are providing you with the goods,
services or reservations you purchase or order, or who are administering
the offers or programs you enter through this Site (or you enter through
another site after clicking on a link on this Site promoting such an
offer or program).
We may disclose specific financial information when we determine that
such disclosure may be helpful to comply with law, to cooperate with
or seek assistance from law enforcement to protect the interests or safety
of Panther Tattoo Supplies or other visitors to the Site or users of services or
products provided by Panther Tattoo Supplies or to take part with others in joint
antifraud activities. Also, your financial information may be passed
on to a third party in the event of a transfer of ownership or assets,
or a bankruptcy, of Panther Tattoo Supplies.
Panther Tattoo Supplies will not be responsible or otherwise liable for any misuse
or disclosure of your financial information by a third party to whom
Panther Tattoo Supplies is allowed to disclose your financial information under
this privacy policy.
How We Use Demographic Information
We may use your demographic information to perform business analyses
or to tailor the Site and communications to your interests. We may share
anonymous, aggregated (grouped) demographic information with advertisers
and other third parties so that they can tailor their advertisements
and communications to the appropriate audience. Any time that we are
allowed under this privacy policy to share your contact information or
financial information, we may also share your demographic information
along with it.
Information Other Web Sites Collect From You
On the Site, we place links to other web sites operated by other parties.
Some of these other web sites contain our brand names and trademarks
and other intellectual property that we own; others do not. When you
click on these links and visit these other web sites, regardless of whether
or not they contain our brand names, trademarks and other intellectual
property, you need to be aware that we do not control these other web
sites or these other web sites' business practices, and that this privacy
policy does not apply to these other web sites. Consequently, the operators
of these other web sites may collect different kinds of information about
you, and may use and disclose that information in different ways than
we would if it were collected on the Site. We encourage you to review
their privacy policies and remind you that we will not be responsible
for their actions.
Your IP Address
Like most e-commerce websites, each time you visit the Site, we automatically
collect your IP address and the web page from which you came. In order
to administer and optimize the Site for you and to diagnose problems

broad demographic information about you.

others may place or read cookies on your browser as well. If you wish
to disable these cookies, the "help" portion of the toolbar on most
browsers will tell you how. However, if you set your browser to disable
cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas or features of
