Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 19, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Save A Doggo collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit saveadoggo.com, subscribe to updates, or contact us. Where consent is required by law, we request it before non-essential advertising or analytics technologies are used.

Information We Collect

Information you provide

You may provide your name, email address, message, newsletter preference, or other information when you subscribe or contact us. Please do not send sensitive personal information.

Information collected automatically

Our website and service providers may collect IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location, interaction data, timestamps, and cookie or similar identifiers. This helps us operate the site, understand performance, prevent abuse, and improve our content.

How We Use Information

  • Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
  • Respond to questions and privacy requests.
  • Send newsletters only when you subscribe, with an unsubscribe option in each message.
  • Measure content and website performance.
  • Display and measure advertising where permitted.
  • Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell or rent personal information or newsletter lists.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies and similar technologies can store or read information on your device. We may use:

  • Necessary technologies for security, core website functions, and remembering privacy choices.
  • Analytics technologies to understand traffic and improve the site.
  • Advertising technologies to deliver, limit, and measure ads, including personalized ads only when consent and applicable law allow.

You can also limit or delete cookies in your browser. Blocking necessary technologies may affect some website functions.

Google Privacy & Messaging / Consent Management Platform

Save A Doggo uses Google Privacy & Messaging as its consent management platform (CMP). For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, and other regions where the message applies, the CMP can present choices to consent, decline, or manage purposes and advertising partners before non-essential advertising technologies are used.

Your choice is stored so the website and participating vendors can respect it. You may withdraw or change consent later by reopening the privacy choices message when available or by clearing this site’s cookies and revisiting the page. You may also contact us for help. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before withdrawal.

Consent is not inferred merely because you continue browsing. The message and options shown to you depend on your region, device, and applicable law.

Google AdSense and Advertising

Save A Doggo may use Google AdSense. Google and participating advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, limit, secure, and measure ads. Depending on your consent and region, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Non-personalized ads may still use contextual information such as the page topic and general location.

You can learn more through Google’s advertising technologies information, review Google’s Privacy Policy, and manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings.

Analytics

We may use Google Analytics or similar tools to understand traffic sources, pages viewed, device information, approximate location, and website interactions. Where consent is required, analytics technologies are used only after consent. Analytics data is used in aggregated reports to improve navigation, performance, and content.

Newsletter and Forms

If you subscribe, we use your email address to send requested updates. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in an email or by contacting us. Information submitted through a form is used to process the subscription, respond to you, maintain records, and prevent abuse.

Comments

Public comments are currently disabled. If comments are enabled in the future, we may collect the information submitted, IP address, and browser user agent for moderation and spam prevention, and we will update this policy when appropriate.

Legal Bases and Your Rights

Depending on your location, processing may rely on consent, performance of a requested service, legitimate interests such as security and website improvement, or compliance with law. You may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing; withdraw consent; request data portability; and complain to a relevant data protection authority.

To exercise a privacy right, email saveadoggo.com@gmail.com. We may need to verify your request and may retain limited information when required by law.

Service Providers and External Links

We may use hosting, security, form, email, analytics, and advertising providers that process information for the purposes described above. Articles may link to shelters, veterinary resources, animal-welfare organizations, or other third-party sites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

Data Retention and Security

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security. Newsletter information is generally retained until you unsubscribe; analytics and advertising data follow the settings and retention periods of the relevant provider. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage method is completely secure.

Children and International Visitors

Save A Doggo is a general-audience website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Information may be processed in countries with different privacy laws, subject to safeguards used by us or our service providers where required.

Changes and Contact

We may update this policy as services or legal requirements change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Questions and requests can be sent to saveadoggo.com@gmail.com.
