Welcome to The Pet Adventure, where we’re all about fur, tails, and a sprinkle of treats! (And yes, we mean the dog kind, not the snack you promised yourself you wouldn’t eat!) Your privacy is paw-sitively important to us, so let’s paw through the details, shall we?
1. What We Collect: When you visit our site, www.thepetadventure.com, we may collect data like your name, email address, and what you fancy—be it dog videos or cat memes. Don’t worry; we won’t sniff around your browsing history. That’s your business!
1.a Comments
Got something to bark or purr about? Paw-some! When you leave a comment, we fetch the info you share in the form (plus your IP address and browser details) to keep spam at bay—because nobody likes spam paws all over their site!
If you’re using Gravatar for your profile pic, we might toss them a little bone (a secret hash made from your email) to check if you’re part of their pack. Check out their privacy policy here: Gravatar Privacy Policy. Once your comment gets the go-ahead, your profile pic will strut its stuff alongside your comment for all to see.
1.b Media
Uploading pet pics? Fur-tastic! Just make sure your photos don’t have embedded location data (like EXIF GPS), or curious cats (aka other visitors) might sniff out where they were taken. Pro tip: declaw your photos of location info before uploading—safety first, fur-ever!
2. How We Use It: We’ll use your info to send you the latest woofs and meows (aka blog posts, newsletters, and occasional pawesome offers). Don’t be scared; we promise our emails won’t be as frequent as your pet’s grooming needs!
3. Sharing is Not Caring: We won’t share your info with third parties unless they promise to treat it better than a stray puppy in a pet store! (Sure, we’ll let them have a sniff or two for business purposes, but that’s it!)
3.a Where Your Data Goes
Your comments might be sniffed out by an automated spam-detection service to keep our site squeaky clean and spam-free—because nobody likes a litter box full of spam!
4. Cookies: We’re not talking about the tasty treats, but these cookies are still pretty sweet! If you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies. This way, you don’t have to paw through your details every time. These cookies hang around for a year—purr-fection!
Visit the login page? We’ll toss you a temporary cookie to check if your browser plays nice. No personal data here—it vanishes as soon as you close your browser.
Log in, and we’ll set up some cookies to remember your login info (for two days) and your screen preferences (for a year). If you click “Remember Me,” your login sticks around for two weeks. Log out, and poof—those cookies skedaddle.
Edited or published something? We’ll add another cookie to your browser. This one just tracks the post ID and expires in a day—no digging required.
5. Your Choices: You can opt-out anytime! Just let us know, and we’ll stop the paw-some news.
5.a Your Rights Over Your Data
Want to know what info we’re storing in our doggy bag? If you have an account or left comments, you can request an exported file of your data. Need it erased? We can do that too—except for data we’re legally required to keep (some bones are too important to bury).
6. How Long We Keep Your Data: Left a comment? It’ll stay paws-itively safe forever (or until you ask us to delete it). This way, we can quickly approve your future comments—less waiting, more tail-wagging!
If you register an account, we’ll keep your profile info snug as a bug in a doggy bed. You can see, edit, or delete your data anytime (except your username—that’s a keeper). Admins can also lend a paw to manage your info.
By using our site, you’re letting us know you’re okay with all this—like bringing a cat to a dog party! Thanks for being a fabulous part of The Pet Adventure family. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
From Paws to Claws, we’ve got all the awws—and your privacy! 🐾
