your computer.
We send a "session cookie" to your computer when you log in to your

multiple pages on our site during the same session, so that we don’t
need to ask you for your password on each page. Once you log out or

How we protect and store personal information
Throughout this policy, we use the term "personal information" to
describe information that can be associated with a specific person and
can be used to identify that person. We do not consider personal
information to include information that has been anonymized so that it
does not identify a specific user.
We store and process your personal information on our computers in
the US, and we protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and
procedural safeguards in compliance with applicable US federal and
state regulations. We use computer safeguards such as firewalls and
data encryption, we enforce physical access controls to our buildings
and files, and we authorize access to personal information only for
those employees who require it to fulfill their job responsibilities.

How we share personal information with other Furry Friends RI users
To process your payments, we need to share some of your personal
information with the person or company that you are paying or is paying
you. Your contact information, date of sign-up, the number of payments
you have received from verified Furry Friends RI users, and whether you have
verified control of a bank account are provided to other Furry Friends RI users
who you transact with through Furry Friends RI.
If you are buying goods or services and pay through Furry Friends RI, we may
also provide the seller with your confirmed credit card billing address
to help complete your transaction with the seller. The seller is not
allowed to use this information to market their services to you unless
you have agreed to it.
We work with merchants to enable them to accept payments from you
using Furry Friends RI. In doing so, a merchant may share information about you
with us, such as your email address, when you attempt to pay that
merchant. We use this information to confirm to that merchant that you
are a Furry Friends RI customer and that the merchant should enable Furry Friends RI as a
form of payment for your purchase.
Regardless, we will not disclose your credit card number or bank
account number to anyone you have paid or who has paid you through Furry Friends RI, except with your express permission or if we are required to do
so to comply with a subpoena or other legal process.
