How does Pikapet use or disclose my information?
Pikapet never discloses your personal information to any third party unless you have instructed us to do so. We let you store it on our site so you can share it with who you wish.
Your mail address may be used in private correspondence with you for customer service issues. We may also use your email address in the future to send you notices regarding our site, but we will give you the option not to receive email in the section called My Account.
Pikapet may develop special sites in cooperation with other companies. If you register at these "co-branded" sites, we share your registration information (such as name and email address) with that company.
Our business is about building a long-term relationship with you. To build that trust, we know that as you spend time on our site and with our email newsletters, your personal information must remain within your control. Therefore, unless you give us your express permission, except if we believe in good faith that the law requires it, that disclosure is necessary to respond to a subpoena, warrant, or court order, or to protect the rights of Pikapet or others, we will not share your personal information with unauthorized third parties. We consider your personal information to be exactly that-yours. And we will do our best to protect it!

Do you send unsolicited emails or direct mail?
Pikapet absolutely, positively does not use the emails or postal addresses it collects as a source for unsolicited emails or unsolicited postal mail.
How does Pikapet keep my information secure?
The privacy of our members is a top priority. We keep your information secure in three ways:
Technology – At Pikapet, we use state of the art firewalls and database protection equipment and software.
Password-protection – Your Pikapet profile is password-protected so that you are the only member who has access to this information. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. We also recommend that you log out of your account when you're done using the service, especially if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place, such as a library or Internet cafe.
Limited access inside the Pikapet Team – Access to members' personal information is strictly limited, even inside the small Pikapet team, comprising only a small number of engineers and customer relationship employees. A customer care employee will handle your personal information only to respond to your communication or to better understand our audience to help with our editorial direction. The engineers on our Security Team handle personal information when they maintain our site and email system. Every member of the Pikapet team is subject to stringent confidentiality requirements. Any member information disseminated outside of the Pikapet Team is anonymous and aggregated.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your personal information, Pikapet cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so at your own risk.
