This is a very standard policy, similar to most websites. We maintain a much stricter Zero-share policy, however, meaning that your information and data are safe with us.

Who we are

You can read all about us on our About page, or just browse the site. You should be here: Our website address is: https://papaspooch.com. We specialize in fresh made food for dogs. You can order here.

Comments/Commenting

Your personal information provided when you order is kept secure and will never be sold, shared with, or exploited by a third party.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Spam is automatically handled by Akismet. Breaches of our spam policy will be forwarded to the FBI, along with all relevant information.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you add images to a comment, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. In addition, this gives potential scammers immediately exploitable information,

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year, or unless the site cache is cleared for some reason.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

We will NOT share your data, however

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. This can be seen by the third party mail service, but this is true of virtually all password related activity.

As stated above, we will never sell, share or exploit your information, and our website has protections against spammers, scammers, grifters and thieves.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (they cannot change their username, however). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. In our case, the only data we possess is that entered by commenters or customers. As such, requesting an exported file will result in receiving a copy of data you have already given. This is more useful on say Facebook or Google, who collect from open data banks.

Where we send your data

We will send no personal data to anyone unless requested by law. However, visitor comments will be checked through an automated spam detection service. This allows some user data to be scanned against databases. It is rarely kept, however, and it’s worth looking into what these sites do store (Akismet, for example) if you are concerned.
