This Privacy Policy explains what information Dog Grooming Guide collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using this website, you agree to the practices described below.
Who we are
Dog Grooming Guide ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at doggroomingguide.com. We are an independent directory that helps people find and compare local dog groomers. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at [email protected].
Information we collect
We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. The information involved in your use of the site generally falls into two categories:
Information you provide directly. If you email us or otherwise contact us, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message. We use this only to respond to you.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and our third-party providers may automatically record standard technical information when you visit, such as your browser type, device type, approximate location, referring pages, and pages viewed. This is used to understand traffic and keep the site working well.
Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small file stored on your device. We and our third-party partners may use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the site is used, remember preferences, and (where applicable) serve advertising. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings; note that disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.
Advertising
We may display advertising to support the site, including through third-party advertising networks such as Google. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
Analytics
We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate. These services may set cookies and collect usage data as described above. The information is used to improve the content and usability of the site.
How we use information
We use the limited information we collect to operate and maintain the website, respond to your messages, understand and improve how the site is used, display advertising, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party links
Our directory links to third-party websites, including the websites and booking pages of grooming businesses. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Children's privacy
This website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, or delete it, or to opt out of certain uses. To make a request, contact us at [email protected]. You can also manage cookies through your browser and opt out of personalized ads using the links above.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
