Introduction

Welcome to Grumpy Dog, where your privacy is important to us. This streamlined policy is designed to explain how we handle your personal and technical data.

Data Collection and Usage

We collect your personal information like your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or leave a comment on our blog. We also gather some technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and device information. We use this information to send you newsletters, respond to your comments, improve our website, and for marketing purposes. Rest assured, we never sell or trade your personal data. However, we do share it with third-party service providers to help with our business operations and with law enforcement if legally required.

Comments and Cookies

When you leave a comment, your comment and its data are publicly visible and retained indefinitely to facilitate ongoing conversations. For your convenience, cookies will remember your name and email for future comments. Cookies related to login and screen choices last between two days to a year, depending on your settings.

Media and Embedded Content

Be cautious when uploading images with location data, as visitors can extract this information. Articles on Grumpy Dog may include embedded content from other websites, which behaves as if you’ve visited those sites directly.

Data Retention and Your Rights

Comments and their associated data are retained indefinitely to allow for follow-up conversations. If you’re a registered user, you can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (although usernames can’t be changed). You have the right to request a copy of the data we hold about you or ask for it to be deleted.

Data Security

All comments are scanned through an automated spam detection service to maintain the site’s integrity. For further inquiries, feel free to reach out to us.
