This Privacy Policy explains what information DogCraze collects when you visit dogcraze.com, how we use it and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
Information you give us
When you use our contact form, we collect the name, email address and message you send. We use this only to read and reply to your message.
If you sign up for our newsletter, we collect your email address so we can send it to you. Every newsletter includes a link to unsubscribe at any time.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers keep standard log data when you visit. This can include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you viewed, the date and time of your visit and the page that referred you to us. We use this to keep the site running, fix problems and protect it from abuse.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember your preferences, understand how visitors use the site and show advertising. You can read more in our Cookie Policy, which forms part of this Privacy Policy.
Analytics
We use analytics services, such as Google Analytics, to understand how people find and use dogcraze.com. These services use cookies to collect information like the pages you visit, how long you stay and roughly where you are visiting from. The reports we see are aggregated and do not identify you personally.
You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Advertising
DogCraze shows ads to help pay for the site. These ads are served by third-party vendors, including Google.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices or, if you are in Europe, at www.youronlinechoices.eu.
If you opt out, you will still see ads. They just won’t be based on your browsing history.
These vendors have their own privacy policies, and we do not control the cookies they set. For more on how Google handles data from ads, see policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to run and improve the site, reply to messages, send the newsletter to people who asked for it, measure how the site is used, show ads and keep the site secure. We do not sell your personal information.
We may share information with service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting, email and analytics providers, but only as needed for them to do that work. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as we need it. Contact form messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry and any follow-up. Newsletter email addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Log data is kept for a limited period and then deleted or anonymised. Analytics and advertising providers keep data according to their own retention settings and policies.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information under laws such as the GDPR or the CCPA. These can include the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you and get a copy of it
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong
- Ask us to delete your information
- Object to or limit how we use it, or withdraw consent you gave earlier
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising
- Complain to a data protection authority
To make a request, email us at [dc_email]. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on it. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.
Children’s privacy
DogCraze is a general audience site and is not aimed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. Please check back now and then to stay informed.
