Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 8, 2026
Wise Old Paws ("we", "us", "our") operates the website wiseoldpaws.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, and how we use it.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide. Our contact form (when active) and newsletter signup collect the information you choose to enter, such as your name and email address.
Automatically collected information. Like most websites, our hosting may log basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and the time of your visit. This is used for security and site analytics.
Cookies. We may use cookies for basic site functionality and, if enabled, for privacy-friendly analytics. Affiliate programs we participate in (see our affiliate disclosure) may set their own cookies when you click an affiliate link, governed by those programs' privacy policies.
2. How we use your information
- To operate and improve the website
- To respond to messages you send us
- To send newsletter emails, only if you subscribe (currently a placeholder — not functional)
- To detect and prevent abuse or fraud
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Data retention
We keep contact messages only as long as needed to respond to them, and newsletter email addresses only while you remain subscribed. Technical logs are retained for a limited period and then deleted or anonymized.
4. Your rights
You may ask us to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you by using the contact page. If you are in a jurisdiction with additional privacy rights (such as the EU or California), we honor those rights.
5. Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
