Privacy Policy | DoggoUSA.com

At DoggoUSA.com, we are as protective of your data as a mama bear is of her cubs (or a Beagle is of a dropped piece of bacon). We understand that your privacy is paramount, and we are committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and guard the information you share with us.

1. The Information We Fetch

We collect information to help us provide better content, better product recommendations, and a more personalized experience for you and your pup.

Information You Give Us: This includes your name and email address when you sign up for our “Doggo Daily” newsletter, your dog’s name and breed if you create a pet profile, and any comments or reviews you post on our articles.
Automatic Information: When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain data such as your IP address, your browser type, the pages you visited, and how long you spent looking at that specific “Best Corgi Costumes” listicle.
Pet-Specific Data: We may collect non-identifiable data about your pet’s age, weight, or activity level to provide tailored health and nutrition suggestions.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your information to keep our tail wagging and our site running smoothly:

Personalization: To suggest the right size of harness or the best type of senior dog food based on the information you’ve shared.
Communication: To send you updates, health alerts, or the latest training tips (you can opt-out of these at any time—no hard feelings!).
Site Improvement: We look at data trends to see which topics our readers love most, helping us create more of what you want to see.
Safety & Security: To protect our community from spam and to ensure our site remains a safe space for dog lovers.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use “cookies”—tiny files stored on your device—to help us recognize you on return visits.

Functionality Cookies: These remember your preferences (like staying logged in).
Analytical Cookies: We use tools like Google Analytics to see how people find our site and which “dog-friendly parks” guides are the most popular.
Advertising Cookies: We partner with third-party ad networks to show you relevant products. For example, if you’ve been searching for waterproof leashes, you might see an ad for one on our sidebar.

4. Sharing Your Information

We want to be clear: We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Your data is not a chew toy.

We only share information in these limited cases:

Service Providers: We use trusted companies to help us send emails or host our website.
Legal Necessity: If required by law to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process.
Affiliate Links: If you click on a product link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This does not involve sharing your personal data with that retailer.

5. Your Rights & Choices

You are the pack leader when it comes to your data:

Unsubscribe: Every email we send includes a clear “Unsubscribe” link.
Access & Delete: You can request to see what data we have on you or ask us to delete it entirely by emailing privacy@doggousa.com.
Browser Settings: You can set your browser to refuse cookies, though some parts of our site may not function perfectly without them.

6. Children’s Privacy

While we love young dog enthusiasts, DoggoUSA.com is intended for users 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover such information has been collected, we will delete it immediately.

7. Changes to This Policy

As the digital landscape evolves, so might this policy. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date.
