Children’s Privacy
We do not require children under 13 years of age to share any personal information in order to use this Website. Our Website is designed to be used by adults, but given its content, we understand that it might attract children as well. Therefore, in order to avoid knowingly collecting personal information from children under 13, we utilize an age gate prior to collecting personal information to confirm that the person providing the information is not under 13 years of age. Additionally, as discussed further below, our website does not track users for marketing or advertising purposes.

Personal information we collect through our Website includes the following information which you may voluntarily provide:
- First and last name;

- Any other information you share with us through our Contact Us page.
We also collect other information automatically about your visit to our Website. For example, we may capture your browser type and settings, device information, and IP address (which is often considered personal information) in order to monitor the number of people that visit our Website and compile aggregated statistics to improve our Website. See discussion of our use of cookies in the section below.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
Our Website uses cookies. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer’s hard drive. While most browsers are set to accept cookies by default, you can set yours to refuse cookies or alert you before accepting them. Our Website uses necessary cookies which help the website run, functional cookies which help maintain your preferences over time and remember you when you return to the Website, and analytics cookies which help us understand how visitors use the Website. We do not use targeting or marketing cookies.
Our Website uses third parties to assist us in analyzing data regarding visitors of our Website. For example, we use Google Analytics to collect information such as the number of visitors to a site, the webpage that referred visitors to a site, and the pages visitors view within a site. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by downloading Google’s Opt-Out Browser Add-on.
Some internet browsers have “Do Not Track” or “DNT” features which, when turned on, send a signal to a website that the individual visiting the website does not wish to be tracked. Such browser features and industry standards are not uniform, so our Website does not respond to DNT signals, but you can set your browser settings to restrict the placement of cookies as described above.

Additional Information for Individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland and the United Kingdom
In addition to the disclosures made elsewhere in this Privacy Policy with respect to our privacy practices, our legal basis for processing personal data we collect in the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, can vary depending on the manner in which you use our Website or otherwise engage with us. Our legal basis for processing information that we collect about you through our Website is our legitimate interest as a data controller to administer our Website. In cases where you are asked to provide your consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time, although this will not affect the lawfulness of our processing prior to your withdrawal of consent. In the case of processing involving passive data collection and other processing for the administration of our Website, such processing is undertaken pursuant to our legitimate interests as a data controller, including the operation of our Website. We may process personal data where necessary for our compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject. We also reserve the right to process personal data in the event we believe doing so is necessary to protect the rights of the data subject or another person.
We retain the personal data we collect as long as it is needed to provide you products or information, to maintain your account, to respond to inquiries, or as required by contractual, statutory or other legal obligations.
As an individual located in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data; to restrict or object to processing of your personal data; and to data portability (i.e., the right to receive a copy of your personal data).
If you have any questions about our privacy practices, please contact us using the contact information below. You also have the right to file a complaint with your data protection authority if you have a concern about the manner in which we are processing your personal data.
Third Party Links
For practical reasons and for your information, our Website contains links to other websites, such as links to our profile pages on social media sites. Teddy + Puppy exercises no control over such other websites and is not responsible for the content thereon. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third party websites, and we recommend that you review the online privacy policy of any website you visit to determine how the operator handles personal information collected through its website.

Teddy + Puppy may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes to this policy, we will post the updated version on our Website and indicate the date the policy was last updated.
