Privacy Policy – Dog Adopt

What personal data we collect and why we collect it.
Comments.
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.

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 upload images to the website, 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.

Contact forms.
If you fill out a contact form, we will collect that information. We may even use the information to contact you. I use the contact information you submit and other information that will help provide assistance to you.

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.

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.

Analytics.
I do have analytics so I know when someone visits the site. I don’t do a lot of tracking but the big tech companies do. They are probably tracking your use of my site. Especially if you came from one of their affiliates or properties.

Who we share your data with.
I may share data with my employer, If I am working with a broker or a colleague, if I am partnering with an agent or other real estate professional, who may share data with others. I also share data with other businesses and professionals I have relationships with. There is data sharing done by big tech companies that I do not control. If you are worried about being tracked, I suggest using a VPN and browsing in your browsers privacy mode.

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.

I retained information from the contact form submissions indefinitely

For users that register on our website (if any), 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 (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. I may also use a CRM to collect data. I tend to store a lot of data in my brain, until that goes, it will probably be retained until death does it part.

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.

Where we send your data.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Phone calls are sent to my answering platform or phone. If you leave a message on the answering service that information is saved. When you fill out the contact form that information is sent to my email. Information is also saved with a newsletter service when you request receiving one of our newsletters.

I may use a CRM, then information will be sent and stored there. The CEM may collect data from but not exclusive to website visits and interaction with the site.
