Puppy contract

[Lady's Human]

Reasons the Credit Card/Birth cert or other requirement for personal data are a major problem:

Where are you going to store the info?

If on an IT (computer) system is it certified against unauthorized intrusion?

If in a safe does it meet bank standards?

How long?

How much liability insurance are you going to carry for loss of the data or security breach of the data? (you can do a lot with a birth cert or CC#)

How are you going to notify the person that the data has been compromised if it happens?

OK, I'm going to try and say this nicely, and I'm probably a reject, but if I was looking for a pet, there is no way I would sign papers that required me to sign over a credit card number so that I can be tracked. Not in this day, where identity theft is so rampant. I would walk away, and find a different source to find a puppy/dog. Also, the part where you need to know exactly where the dog is, at all times, seems to be excessive. Again, I wouldn't sign a contract, having to keep tabs with someone else to make sure THEY think that I am taking care of my dog. That's my business.
