News and updates
When registering you will be asked if you wish to receive news and updates. With your permission, Barking Universe uses such information to periodically contact you with product information news, special offers and new apps/games that are released.
By allowing you to send email to us, we are not attempting to collect any personal information about you. We will only use personal information (such as name and email address) contained in your email to respond to your specific inquiry or comments in the email. Although we may retain your email for a period of time, we will not use any personal information contained in your email for any purpose other than responding to your specific inquiry or comments. Whatever the activity may be, we will only collect information to the extent deemed reasonably necessary to fulfil your requests and our legitimate business objectives.

If you are receiving emails or regular mail and at a later date you choose to opt out, you can do so by logging into your account and choosing the appropriate setting.
When we might disclose information
As part of our regular business conduct, we may share information with companies or individuals providing services or acting on our behalf, such as companies providing technological or fulfillment services. In the event that there is a change of corporate ownership, the new owners will of course be provided with our files, including information you have submitted. We will also share information with government officials, including law enforcement officials or court authorities, in order to cooperate with a legitimate investigation. Unless we tell you first (such as at the time we collect information), or unless it is part of a specific program or feature in which you have elected to participate, we do not share personally information that we have collected (such as name or email address) with other, third-party companies for their own commercial or marketing purposes.
Links and third parties
From time to time we may include links to other websites as a service to you.
