Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 1, 2026

DogBreedsAndNeeds.com ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit dogbreedsandneeds.com, how we use that information, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information:

  • Information you provide. When you sign up for breed-specific tips or contact us, you may share your email address. Your breed selector quiz answers stay in your own browser and are not sent to us.
  • Information collected automatically. When you visit the site our hosting provider automatically records standard log data including IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring URL, and timestamps. We use your browser's local storage to remember your preferences (e.g. light/dark theme) and may use analytics to understand site traffic.

How We Use Information

  • To deliver and improve site content and functionality.
  • To send you breed-specific tips when you opt in (you can unsubscribe anytime).
  • To analyze how the site is used so we can improve it.
  • To detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, or technical issues.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

Cookies & Tracking

We use your browser's storage for essential site functionality (e.g. remembering your theme preference) and may use third-party analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate site traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; some site features may not work as expected without them.

Advertising & Affiliate Links

Some pages contain affiliate links to third-party retailers. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We may also display advertisements served by third-party ad networks; those networks may use cookies to deliver relevant ads.

Email Subscriptions

If you provide your email to receive breed tips, we will only use it to send you the content you requested and occasional related updates. Every email contains an unsubscribe link. We do not sell, rent, or share your email with third parties for their marketing.

Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers (such as hosting, analytics, and email-delivery vendors) who process it on our behalf under contractual obligations of confidentiality, and with authorities when required by law.

Children's Privacy

The site is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below.

Data Security & Retention

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects when changes were made. Material changes will be highlighted on the site.
