Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, changes will be posted to this privacy statement, our homepage, and
other places we deem conspicuous and appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we
collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. Top Dog Shirts will use information
in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected. If, however, we are going to use
users’ personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection, users
will be notified via e-mail. Users will then be presented with a choice as to whether or not we become authorized
to use their information in this different way. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site,
or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in
this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user
information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our Web site notifying users of the
change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users (who have opted to receive
communications from Top Dog Shirts), notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
