Privacy Policy

Updated: 6 October 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how collars-harnesses-leashes.allpetlinks.com (the "Site", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you visit or interact with our content and services. We are committed to transparency and compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the EU/UK GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the CPRA.

Who We Are & How to Contact Us

For privacy inquiries, contact us at business [at] collars-harnesses-leashes.allpetlinks.com. This email is the primary point of contact for exercising your privacy rights or asking questions about this policy.

Information We Collect

Information you provide: messages sent via contact forms or email (e.g., your name, email address, and the content of your message), newsletter sign-ups, feedback, and optional attachments you choose to send.
Automated data: IP address, device and browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent, and general location (country/city level) derived from IP using analytics tools.
Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device that help us remember preferences, measure performance, detect errors, and understand how our content is used.
Affiliate & advertising identifiers: where applicable, we may use unique link parameters or pixels provided by affiliate networks or ad partners to measure outbound clicks and commissions.

Why We Use Your Information (GDPR Legal Bases)

Provide and improve the Site (legitimate interests): operating, maintaining, and enhancing content performance and user experience.
Communications (consent or legitimate interests): responding to your messages and delivering newsletters you requested.
Analytics and reporting (consent or legitimate interests): understanding content engagement and detecting technical issues.
Compliance and enforcement (legal obligation or legitimate interests): meeting legal requirements and protecting the Site from abuse.

Cookies and Controls

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve our content. Where required, we display a consent banner that lets you accept or manage non-essential cookies. You can also adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies may impact functionality or measurement.

Analytics, Affiliates, and Third Parties

We may use privacy-conscious analytics and affiliate tracking. Analytics helps us understand page performance, not to build personal profiles. Affiliate links allow us to earn commissions when you purchase through partner retailers. Retailers and networks may set their own cookies and receive your IP and user-agent when you click outbound links. Please review their privacy notices before purchasing.

Service providers (e.g., hosting, email deliverability, spam filtering, analytics) may process data on our behalf under contracts that limit their use of personal data to providing services to us.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described. For example, support messages are typically retained for up to 24 months for reference and quality assurance, unless you request earlier deletion, subject to legal obligations. Aggregated and anonymized analytics data may be retained longer.

Your Rights

EU/UK data subjects: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection to processing based on legitimate interests, plus the right to withdraw consent at any time.
California residents: right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of "sale" or "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising; right to limit use of sensitive personal information where applicable; and freedom from discrimination for exercising rights.

To exercise your rights, email business [at] collars-harnesses-leashes.allpetlinks.com with your request. We may need to verify your identity. Authorized agents may submit requests with proof of authorization and identity verification procedures as permitted by law. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell your personal information for money. Some affiliate or advertising technologies could be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under the CCPA/CPRA. Where required, we provide a mechanism to opt out of such activities and honor supported browser signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC) when technically feasible.

International Data Transfers

We may process data using providers located outside your country. Where applicable, we rely on lawful transfer mechanisms (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) and implement safeguards to protect your information.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and routine software updates. No online service can guarantee perfect security. If we discover a data incident that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and/or regulators as required by law.

Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Links

Our content includes outbound links to retailers and resources we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. We encourage you to review those policies before submitting information or making a purchase.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. The "Updated" date will always indicate the latest revision. Material changes will be highlighted on this page or via a notice on the Site.

Contact

For questions, requests, or complaints about privacy, email business [at] collars-harnesses-leashes.allpetlinks.com. We aim to respond within 30 days, or sooner where required by law.
