Social Media and Third Party Platforms
If you contact us through social media platforms, messaging apps, or third party listing sites, your information may also be processed under those platforms’ privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy settings and policies of any third party service you use.
Photos, Videos, and Communications
We may post puppy photos and videos for availability updates and educational content. We do not intentionally publish your private contact details. If you send us photos, videos, or written messages and give permission for us to share them, we may use them for marketing or informational purposes.
If you do not want your content shared, tell us clearly in writing. If something is posted and you want it removed, contact us and we will review your request.
Data Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for business operations, customer service, recordkeeping, and legal compliance. For example, we may retain messages and transaction records to document agreements, provide support, and resolve disputes. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete it or anonymize it.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information. No website, messaging system, or online transmission is 100 percent secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. You can help protect your information by using strong passwords, avoiding sharing sensitive information over unsecured channels, and contacting us if you suspect unauthorized activity.
Children’s Privacy
Our website and services are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to remove it.
