This website takes every precaution to protect our users’ information. When you access our website, you may provide certain personally identifiable information including but not limited to your name, email address, phone number, address, avatar image, and/or credit card information when you make a purchase on the website.
This information is collected when you subscribe to our newsletter, register on the site, submit a breeder listing, place an order, provide comments, fill out a form, contact us, or enter any other information on the website to communicate with us.
Your personal information is used to efficiently process your requests or transactions, send newsletters, and to follow up with you through correspondence (email or phone). All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information. Your information is kept private and never shared with third parties or other websites.
Additionally, like other websites, this website automatically collects certain information about you through Log Data and Google Analytics. Log Data is information about your computer’s Internet Protocol Address, which is your “IP” address, browser information, Internet Service Provider’s information, your operating system, and your browser type. Similarly, Google Analytics collects certain information about your location, browsing history, the pages you visit, equipment you used to access the website, traffic patterns, and other general patterns related to your use of the website.

COMMENTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA
When you leave a comment, your name, email address and website/organization name may be used to communicate with you. Your information is kept private and never shared with third parties or other websites.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. If you have Gravatar, your profile picture will be visible to the public with your comment. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Social media accounts and sharing options are available on this website. Social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and so forth) can track your personal information. Should you choose to interact with us on social media, please note that you will be voluntarily disclosing that personal information. That information is no longer private. It becomes public information and can be collected and used by others. We have no control over and take no responsibility for the use, storage or dissemination of such publicly disclosed personal information by you.
