Your privacy is very important to us at The Happy Heeler. We adhere to the following fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the ongoing operation of our site.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, we collect non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use our website.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to our website choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that we gather depend on the nature of the interaction. For example:
- We collect names and email addresses for users who wish to leave comments on our blog posts. We also collect names and email addresses for users who have filled out our email subscription form as well as our contact form. This information is used solely for the purpose of facilitating communication and is not shared with any third parties outside of normal means needed to facilitate communication and store contacts. This information is stored on third party platforms used to collect messages and keep contacts.
- We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the site, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to this site. We use the information we get from Google Analytics only to improve our website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit this site, rather than your name or other identifying information.
