Privacy
Privacy Policy.
This policy explains how The Canine Standard collects and uses information when you visit our website or submit a dog training evaluation.
Information we collect
When you submit an evaluation or contact us, we may collect:
- Your name, email address, phone number, and city.
- Information about your dog, including name, breed, age, behavior concerns, and training goals.
- Technical information routinely created when a website is used, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested, and request timestamps.
How we use information
We use information to review your training needs, respond to your inquiry, recommend services, communicate about scheduling or services, maintain business records, protect the website from misuse, and comply with applicable law.
We do not use evaluation information for unrelated purposes without providing additional notice.
How information is processed
Evaluation submissions are stored in the website's private database and sent through Formspree so we can receive an email notification. Website hosting, infrastructure, security, and email-delivery providers may process information only as needed to provide those services.
Formspree acts as a form-processing service. Its practices are also governed by its own privacy and security terms.
Sharing and selling
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may disclose information to service providers that support the website and evaluation process, when you direct us to do so, or when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights, or prevent fraud or misuse.
Retention
We retain inquiry and evaluation information only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Retention time may vary depending on whether an inquiry becomes a client relationship.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect personal information. However, no online system or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Your choices
You may ask to access, correct, or delete information you submitted, subject to any information we must retain for legitimate business or legal purposes. You may also ask questions about how your information is used.
Send requests to thecaninestandardoc@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
Cookies and tracking
The website and its hosting providers may use essential technical storage, cookies, or request logs needed for security and operation. We do not currently use advertising pixels or behavioral advertising cookies. If those practices change, this policy and any required choices or notices will be updated before they are used.
Children
This website and our services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services or privacy practices change. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
