Introduction: Protecting You and Your Pack

Welcome to PetSupplyGo.com (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Site”). We are a dedicated resource for American dog owners searching for the best gear for their canine companions, from joint-supporting dog beds for large breeds to no-pull harnesses and indestructible toys for aggressive chewers.

Your privacy is as important to us as your dog’s safety. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, subscribe to our newsletter, or interact with our content. We adhere to U.S. privacy principles, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) as amended, and we design our practices to be transparent for every dog parent in the United States.

By using PetSupplyGo.com, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please exit the Site and refrain from using our services. If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us at info@petsupplygo.com.

This Privacy Policy is written in plain English because we believe you should be able to understand exactly how your data is handled without hiring a lawyer. We have organized this document into clear sections so you can jump to the information most relevant to you. Whether you are here to research a GPS tracker for your escape-artist Beagle or to find the perfect orthopedic bed for your senior Labrador, we want you to feel confident that your privacy is respected at every step.

1. Information We Collect (And Why Your Dog’s Data Matters)

We collect two main types of information: Personal Information (data that identifies you) and Non-Personal Information (data about your browsing habits). Because we review products for dogs of all sizes, from anxious crate-bound pups to escape-artist Huskies, we keep our data collection focused and minimal.

A. Information You Voluntarily Provide to Us

When you interact with PetSupplyGo.com, you may give us information directly. This typically happens when you:

Subscribe to Our Newsletter:
If you sign up for our “Top Dog Gear” alerts or deal notifications (e.g., price drops on GPS trackers for dogs or heavy-duty dog crates), we collect your email address and, optionally, your first name and your dog’s name/breed. We ask for your dog’s name and breed so we can personalize recommendations. For example, if you tell us you have a Great Dane, we can send you deals specifically for large dog beds and heavy-duty harnesses. If you have a Chihuahua, we might send you information about small dog toys and lightweight harnesses. This personalization is entirely optional. You can subscribe with just your email address if you prefer. If you have questions about our newsletter, contact us at info@petsupplygo.com.

Leave a Comment or Review:
If you comment on an article, such as our guide to slow feeder bowls for fast-eating dogs or our comparison of indestructible dog toys for aggressive chewers, we collect the information you submit in the comment form. This includes your name (or alias) and email address. Please note: Do not include sensitive medical information about your dog in public comments. If your dog has a specific medical condition (like arthritis requiring a specific orthopedic bed or a digestive issue requiring a special diet), please consult your veterinarian rather than posting it publicly. Comments are visible to other visitors, and we cannot control how they may use information you voluntarily share.

Contact Us via Email:
If you email us a question about a product (e.g., “Which dog car seat cover fits a crew cab truck?” or “What is the best dog crate for an anxious rescue dog?”), we will retain that correspondence to answer your question and improve our future guides. You can reach us anytime at info@petsupplygo.com. We may also use your question as inspiration for a future article, but we will never publish your name or email address without your explicit permission.

Participate in Surveys or Polls:
From time to time, we may run surveys to better understand our audience. For example, we might ask, “What is the biggest challenge you face when walking your large dog who pulls on the leash?” or “Which dog bed has lasted the longest for your aggressive chewer?” Participation is always voluntary, and we will clearly state what information we are collecting and how we will use it before you submit your responses. If you have questions about a survey, email info@petsupplygo.com.

Submit a Product for Review:
If you are a manufacturer or public relations representative and you send us a product for review (such as a new GPS dog tracker or a no-pull harness), we will collect your business contact information (name, company, email address, phone number, and shipping address). This information is used solely for communication regarding the review and is never shared with third parties for marketing purposes. Please direct all review inquiries to info@petsupplygo.com.

B. Information Collected Automatically (Technical & Usage Data)

Like most websites, we use cookies, pixels, and similar tracking technologies to understand how dog owners navigate our site. This helps us figure out which content is most helpful. For example, we can see whether you spend more time reading about indestructible dog toys or odor-control cat litter boxes (even though we are dog-focused, we know many households have both dogs and cats). This data helps us decide which topics to cover more deeply and which products to prioritize in our testing.

The automatic data we collect includes:

Device Information:
We collect your IP address, browser type (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge), operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android), and device type (desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone). This information helps us ensure our website displays correctly on all devices and that our content is accessible to everyone, whether you are reading on a large desktop monitor or a small smartphone screen while standing in line at the pet store.

Usage Data:
We track pages visited, time spent on pages (e.g., how long you read our GPS tracker comparison guide or our review of the best dog beds for large breeds), referring URLs (the website you came from before visiting us), and exit pages (the last page you viewed before leaving). We also track click-through rates on affiliate links. For example, we can see how many people clicked on the link to purchase a slow feeder bowl after reading our guide. This data is aggregated and anonymized. We cannot see that “John Smith from Ohio clicked on this link.” We only see that “150 people clicked on this link today.”

Location Data:
We may approximate your general location based on your IP address. This is typically at the city or state level, not your precise address. We use this information to comply with US state privacy laws (for example, California residents have different rights than Texas residents under their respective state laws) and to suggest dog gear suited for your climate. For example, if you are in Arizona, we might prioritize content about cooling mats for dogs. If you are in Minnesota, we might prioritize content about insulated dog beds for cold winters. This is a helpful feature, not a surveillance tool.

Cookies and Similar Technologies:
We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and web beacons (tiny graphic images embedded in web pages or emails) to track your activity on our site. We explain cookies in more detail in Section 3 below. If you have questions about our use of cookies, email info@petsupplygo.com.

C. Information from Affiliate Links and Third Parties

PetSupplyGo.com is an affiliate publisher. This means we earn a small commission when you click on a link to a retailer (like Amazon or Chewy) and make a purchase. This commission comes at no extra cost to you. In fact, it helps us keep the lights on and continue producing free, in-depth reviews of products like harnesses for large dogs, puzzle toys for smart dogs, and dog car seat covers.

When you click a link to a retailer, those third-party retailers may collect data about you according to their own privacy policies. We do not control their data collection. For example, Amazon has its own privacy policy that governs how it handles your data when you shop on Amazon.com. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any retailer you visit.

However, we may receive aggregated, non-identifiable commission reports from affiliate networks. For example, we might receive a report that says “5 sales of Brand X dog bed were referred by PetSupplyGo.com last month.” We never receive your credit card details, your physical address, your phone number, or any other personally identifiable information from these retailers. We only receive confirmation that a sale occurred and the amount of the commission. If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, contact us at info@petsupplygo.com.

D. Information from Social Media

If you interact with us on social media (for example, if you follow our Facebook page, tag us in an Instagram post about your large dog bed, or share one of our articles on Twitter), the social media platform may share certain information with us. This typically includes your public profile information (name, profile picture) and the content of your interaction (e.g., a comment or a share). We use this information to engage with our community and to understand which content resonates with our audience. We do not use social media data for any other purpose, and we do not sell it.

E. Information from Business Partners and Advertising Networks

From time to time, we may partner with other pet-related businesses for joint promotions or giveaways. For example, we might co-host a giveaway for a GPS dog tracker with a pet technology company. If you enter such a giveaway, we will collect your email address and any other information you provide. We will clearly state in the giveaway rules whether your information will be shared with the co-sponsor. If you do not want your information shared, simply do not enter the giveaway.

We may also use advertising networks to display ads on our site. These networks may use cookies to collect information about your browsing habits across different websites so they can show you relevant ads. For example, if you have been searching for dog beds for large dogs on other websites, you might see an ad for a dog bed on our site. We do not control these advertising networks, and their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policies.

2. How We Use Your Information (The “Good Boy” Standard)

We use your information for legitimate business purposes, specifically, to help you find the best gear for your dog. We do not sell your personal information to data brokers or telemarketers. We do not send spam. We do not bombard you with irrelevant ads for products you do not need.

We use your data to:

1. Deliver Content You Request:
We send you the dog product reviews, buying guides, and deal alerts you signed up for. For example, if you subscribed to our newsletter and indicated that you are interested in dog beds for large breeds, we will send you our latest article, “Best Dog Beds for Large Breeds in 2026,” along with any relevant deals or discounts. If you indicated that you are interested in GPS trackers, we will send you our comparison guides and price drop alerts. We only send you content that matches your stated interests.

2. Improve Our Recommendations:
We analyze traffic patterns to understand what our audience is most interested in. For example, if we notice that dog owners in the US are more interested in flea and tick control this month than in GPS trackers, we might prioritize writing a new article about flea and tick prevention. This helps us serve our audience better. We also use data to improve our website design, navigation, and user experience. If we notice that many users are leaving our page about slow feeder bowls without clicking through to the recommended products, we might revise the article to make it clearer and more helpful.

3. Respond to Inquiries:
If you email us with a question about product fit, durability, or crate training, we will use your email address to respond. You can always reach us at info@petsupplygo.com. We may also keep a record of our correspondence so we can refer back to it if you have follow-up questions. For example, if you asked us which dog car seat cover fits a crew cab truck, we might refer back to our correspondence if you later ask about a different model of truck.

4. Site Security:
We use your data to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or technical issues. For example, we use security measures to prevent bot spam in the comments section of our indestructible toy reviews. We also use data to protect our website from cyberattacks and to ensure that our services remain available to legitimate users.

5. Legal Compliance:
We may use your information to comply with applicable U.S. laws, including responding to lawful requests from public authorities. For example, if a law enforcement agency subpoenas us for information related to a criminal investigation, we may be required to disclose certain data. We will only disclose information to the extent required by law, and we will notify you unless we are prohibited from doing so.

6. Personalization:
We use your browsing behavior and preferences to personalize your experience on our site. For example, if you frequently read articles about dog beds for large dogs, we might feature more articles about large dog gear on our homepage when you visit. If you frequently read articles about indestructible toys for aggressive chewers, we might suggest more articles about tough toys. This is designed to make your experience more relevant and enjoyable, not to track you across the internet.

7. Email Marketing and Communication:
We may use your email address to send you newsletters, updates, and promotional materials related to dog products and pet care. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email we send you. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, which means we will always identify our emails as promotional content, include our physical mailing address, and provide a clear mechanism for opting out. If you have trouble unsubscribing, email info@petsupplygo.com and we will assist you.

8. Analytics and Research:
We use aggregated, anonymized data for research and analytics. For example, we might analyze which types of dog beds are most popular among our readers, or which dog harnesses are most frequently purchased by dog owners in different regions of the United States. This data helps us understand trends in the pet product market and improve our content strategy.

What We Do NOT Do:

  • We do not sell your email address to dog food brands, training collar manufacturers, or any other third parties for their own marketing purposes.
  • We do not use your data to discriminate against you (e.g., charging different prices based on your zip code, race, gender, or other protected characteristics).
  • We do not collect or process sensitive personal information (like your social security number, precise geolocation, health records, or biometric data) through this website.
  • We do not use your data to make automated decisions that have legal or significant effects on you (e.g., we do not use algorithms to deny you access to our site or to determine whether you qualify for a promotion).
  • We do not send you unsolicited emails about products you did not express interest in. If you subscribed to our GPS tracker newsletter, we will not send you emails about cat litter boxes unless you also subscribed to cat content.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies (The “Treats” of Browsing)

Cookies are small text files placed on your device. They are not viruses. They are not malware. They are simply small pieces of data that help websites remember you and your preferences. We use cookies to remember your preferences (like if you prefer reading about large dog harnesses vs. small dog toys) and to understand how you found us.

Types of Cookies We Use on PetSupplyGo.com:

Essential Cookies:
These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They enable basic features like page navigation, secure logins, and access to secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, the website may not function properly. For example, if we offer a user account system, essential cookies would keep you logged in as you navigate from page to page. Essential cookies also remember your cookie consent choice so that you are not asked to accept cookies every time you visit.

Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics 4):
We use Google Analytics to see how many dog lovers visit our “Best GPS Dog Trackers” article and whether they click through to retailer sites. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit our site, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to our site. We use this information to improve our site and content. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. Google Analytics does not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate Tracking Cookies:
When you click a link to a slow feeder bowl or a dog car seat cover, a cookie is set to track that click. This allows us to earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you) if you make a purchase. These cookies typically expire within 24-30 days. They do not contain any personally identifiable information. They simply tell the retailer that you were referred by PetSupplyGo.com.

Social Media Cookies:
If you interact with social media features on our site (such as “Like” or “Share” buttons), those social media platforms may set cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.). We do not control these cookies and are not responsible for the data practices of these platforms.

Advertising Cookies:
We may work with third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense or other ad networks) to display ads on our site. These networks may use cookies to collect information about your browsing habits across different websites so they can show you relevant ads. For example, if you have been searching for dog beds for large dogs on other websites, you might see an ad for a dog bed on our site. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.

Your Cookie Choices:

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, you may still browse PetSupplyGo.com, but some features (like personalized deal alerts or social media sharing) may not function optimally.

For more information about cookies and how to manage them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. This website provides detailed instructions for managing cookies in different browsers and on different devices. If you have questions about our cookie practices, email info@petsupplygo.com.

Do Not Track (DNT):

Some browsers have a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that sends a signal to websites indicating that you do not want to be tracked. There is currently no industry consensus on how websites should respond to DNT signals. PetSupplyGo.com does not currently respond to DNT signals. However, you can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings as described above.

Global Privacy Control (GPC):

Some browsers and browser extensions support the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which is designed to communicate your opt-out preferences for the sale or sharing of personal information. We honor GPC signals as required by applicable law. If you send a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.

4. How We Share Your Information (The “Pack” We Run With)

We only share your data in limited, necessary circumstances. We do not sell your personal information to anyone. We do not rent your email address to third parties. We do not share your data with advertisers for their own marketing purposes.

We share information in the following situations:

Service Providers:
We use email marketing platforms (such as Mailchimp or ConvertKit) to send our newsletter. These providers are bound by contracts that prohibit them from using your email for anything other than delivering our content about dog beds, harnesses, and toys. They are also required to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data and to comply with applicable data protection laws.

We also use web hosting providers, content delivery networks, and analytics providers to operate our website. These providers may have access to your data as part of their services. They are all bound by contracts that prohibit them from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to us. If you have questions about our service providers, contact us at info@petsupplygo.com.

Analytics Partners:
Google Analytics (as described above) processes anonymized usage data. We also use other analytics tools, such as Google Search Console, to monitor our site’s performance in search results and to identify any technical issues. These tools collect aggregated, anonymized data and do not identify you personally.

Legal Requirements:
We will disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or other legal process. We may also disclose information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the safety of our users or the public. For example, if someone posts a threat in our comments section, we may cooperate with authorities. We will only disclose information to the extent required by law, and we will notify you unless we are prohibited from doing so.

Business Transfers:
If PetSupplyGo.com is ever acquired by or merged with another company, your email list (if you subscribed) may be transferred. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on the site before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. You will have the opportunity to unsubscribe before the transfer occurs.

Affiliate Partners:
When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer may share aggregated, non-identifiable data with us (such as the fact that a sale occurred and the amount of the commission). We do not receive any personally identifiable information from these retailers. We do not share your email address or any other personal information with affiliate partners.

Business Partners:
We may share information with business partners for joint promotions or giveaways. For example, if we co-host a giveaway for a GPS dog tracker with a pet technology company, we may share your email address with the co-sponsor if you enter the giveaway and if the giveaway rules explicitly state that we will do so. You will always be notified before your information is shared, and you can choose not to enter the giveaway if you do not want your information shared. If you have questions about a specific promotion, email info@petsupplygo.com.

Professional Advisors:
We may share information with our lawyers, accountants, and other professional advisors as necessary to operate our business and comply with the law. These advisors are bound by confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using your data for any other purpose.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your email with third-party advertisers for them to send you their own marketing about dog training collars, pet insurance, or any other products. We do not participate in data broker networks. We do not rent or sell our email list.

5. Your U.S. Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA and Beyond)

If you are a resident of the United States, particularly California (CCPA/CPRA), Virginia (CDPA), Colorado (CPA), or Connecticut (CTDPA), you have specific rights regarding your personal information. We extend these rights to all U.S. users to ensure a consistent, respectful experience. We believe that all dog owners, regardless of where they live in the United States, deserve to have control over their personal information.

Your Rights Include:

1. The Right to Know:
You can request that we disclose the categories of personal information we have collected about you, the sources of that information, the business purposes for collecting it, and the specific pieces of data we have collected. For example, you can ask us, “What personal information do you have about me?” and we will tell you something like, “We have your email address on file because you subscribed to our large dog bed guide.” We will provide this information in a clear and understandable format.

2. The Right to Delete:
You can ask us to delete your personal information. For example, you can ask us to remove your email address from our newsletter list. We will comply unless we need to retain it for legal or security reasons. For example, if we are required by law to retain certain records, we will inform you of that requirement. We will also inform you if we cannot delete your data because it is necessary to complete a transaction or provide a service you requested.

3. The Right to Correct:
If your email address changes, or if any other personal information we have about you is inaccurate, you can ask us to update it. We will make reasonable efforts to correct inaccurate information. For example, if you change your email address, you can ask us to update our records so you continue to receive our dog product reviews and deal alerts.

4. The Right to Opt-Out of “Sales” or “Sharing”:
While we do not sell data for money, the CCPA defines “sharing” broadly to include certain cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not engage in cross-context behavioral advertising. However, if you wish to opt-out of any tracking, you can use the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our footer (or simply disable cookies). You can also send us a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal through your browser, and we will honor it as a valid opt-out request.

5. The Right to Non-Discrimination:
We will not deny you access to our dog product reviews, charge you different prices, or provide you with a lower quality of service because you exercised your privacy rights. For example, if you ask us to delete your email address, we will still allow you to browse our website and read our articles about indestructible dog toys and GPS trackers. We will not retaliate against you in any way for exercising your rights.

6. The Right to Data Portability:
You have the right to request a copy of your personal information in a portable, readily usable format. For example, if you want a copy of your email address and subscription preferences, we can provide that in a CSV or JSON file. We will provide this information within the timeframes required by law.

7. The Right to Limit the Use of Sensitive Personal Information:
We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as social security numbers, precise geolocation, health records, or biometric data) through this website. Therefore, this right is not applicable to our operations. However, if you believe we have collected sensitive personal information about you, please contact us immediately at info@petsupplygo.com so we can investigate and address the issue.

8. The Right to Know About Automated Decision-Making:
We do not use automated decision-making processes that have legal or significant effects on you. For example, we do not use algorithms to determine whether you qualify for a promotion or to deny you access to our site. We use analytics to improve our content and user experience, but these analytics do not make decisions about you.

How to Exercise Your Rights:

Please email us at info@petsupplygo.com with the subject line: “U.S. Privacy Request – [Your State].” Please specify what you want (Access, Deletion, Correction, Portability, or Opt-Out). To protect your privacy, we may ask you to verify your email address (e.g., by clicking a confirmation link sent to the email we have on file). We will respond within 45 days as required by law. If we need more time to process your request, we will notify you and explain the reason for the extension.

We will not charge a fee to process your request unless it is excessive or repetitive. If we determine that a fee is warranted, we will inform you of the fee and provide an estimate before proceeding. We will also explain why the fee is necessary.

Authorized Agents:

You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. For example, you might authorize a family member or a legal representative to submit a privacy request for you. We may require proof of written permission from you. We may also require you to verify your identity directly with us. This is to protect your privacy and ensure that unauthorized parties cannot access or delete your data.

Appeals Process:

If we deny your privacy request, you have the right to appeal our decision. To appeal, please email us at info@petsupplygo.com with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal.” Please explain why you believe our decision was incorrect. We will review your appeal and respond within 45 days. If we deny your appeal, we will provide you with a written explanation of the reasons for the denial and information about how to contact your state attorney general’s office if you wish to file a complaint.

In addition to the rights described above, California residents have the right to request information about the categories of personal information we have collected, the categories of sources from which we collected it, the business or commercial purpose for collecting it, the categories of third parties with whom we share it, and the specific pieces of personal information we have collected about them.

We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. Data Security: Keeping Your Info Safe from “Escape Artists”

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information. This includes using SSL encryption (look for the padlock icon in your browser) across the entire PetSupplyGo.com site. SSL encryption ensures that any data you submit to us (such as your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter) is encrypted during transmission and cannot be intercepted by third parties.

We also use firewalls, malware scanning, and access controls to protect our servers and databases. Only authorized personnel have access to your personal information, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of that information. We regularly review our security practices and update them as necessary to address new threats and vulnerabilities.

However, please remember: No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Just as no dog crate is truly escape-proof for a determined Houdini-Husky, no website is 100% immune to breaches. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password if you create an account and to be cautious about sharing personal details in public comment sections.

If we become aware of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law. We will also notify the relevant authorities and take steps to mitigate the breach. We will provide you with information about what happened, what data was affected, and what steps you can take to protect yourself. If you have questions about a security incident, contact us immediately at info@petsupplygo.com.

Tips for Protecting Your Data:

  • Use a strong, unique password for any account you create on our site. Do not reuse passwords across different websites.
  • Be cautious about sharing personal information in public comment sections. Do not post your email address, phone number, or physical address in a comment.
  • Keep your browser and operating system up to date. Security updates often include patches for vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
  • Be wary of phishing emails. We will never ask you for your password or credit card information via email. If you receive an email that appears to be from us but asks for sensitive information, do not respond. Contact us directly at info@petsupplygo.com to verify the authenticity of the email.
  • Use a reputable antivirus and anti-malware program on your device.

7. Children’s Privacy (Puppies and Kids)

PetSupplyGo.com is designed for adults (18+) who are shopping for or researching dog products. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)). We do not direct our content to children, and we do not market products to children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information (e.g., by signing up for our newsletter with a fake age), please contact us immediately at info@petsupplygo.com. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will delete it promptly. We will also take steps to prevent future collection of data from that child.

If you are between 13 and 16, please ask your parent or guardian before using the Site or providing any information. We encourage parents to monitor their children’s online activity and to discuss privacy and safety with their children.

8. Third-Party Links: The “Dog Park” of the Internet

Our articles frequently link to external websites, retailers like Amazon, Chewy, or Petco, as well as manufacturer sites for GPS trackers and indestructible toys. This Privacy Policy applies only to PetSupplyGo.com.

When you click a link to an external site (e.g., to buy a dog bed for large dogs), you leave our site and are subject to that third party’s privacy policy and terms. We are not responsible for the data practices of those external sites. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit, especially before entering payment information.

We may also link to informational websites, such as veterinary resources, dog training organizations, or government websites. These websites may have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their content or their data practices. If you have concerns about a website we have linked to, please let us know at info@petsupplygo.com.

Social Media Sharing:

Our site includes social media sharing buttons (such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram). If you click these buttons, you may be sharing information with those social media platforms. These platforms have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any social media platforms you use. If you have questions about how our social media buttons work, email info@petsupplygo.com.

9. International Visitors

PetSupplyGo.com is hosted in the United States and is intended for a U.S. audience. If you are visiting from outside the U.S. (e.g., Canada or the UK), please be aware that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.

By using the Site, you consent to this transfer. For our international dog-loving friends, we recommend checking the privacy policies of your local retailers for dog beds and harnesses if you are concerned about cross-border data flows. You may also have rights under your local data protection laws (such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union or the UK GDPR in the United Kingdom). While we are a U.S.-based website, we respect the privacy rights of all visitors. If you have questions about your rights, please contact us at info@petsupplygo.com.

EU/UK Visitors:

If you are visiting from the European Union or the United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR, including the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country. We process data based on your consent (when you subscribe to our newsletter) and our legitimate interests (operating and improving our website). We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that has significant effects on you. If you have questions about your GDPR rights, email info@petsupplygo.com.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons (e.g., new CCPA regulations, new state privacy laws, or changes in our data practices). When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

If we make material changes (e.g., how we use your email address, or whether we share your data with new categories of third parties), we will notify you via a prominent notice on the homepage or via email (if you have subscribed). We will also provide a summary of the changes and explain what they mean for you.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are helping to protect the personal information we collect. Your continued use of PetSupplyGo.com after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you have questions about changes to this policy, email info@petsupplygo.com.

12. Affiliate Disclosure and Privacy

PetSupplyGo.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate advertising programs. This means that we earn a commission when you click on links to products (such as dog beds for large dogs, GPS trackers, or indestructible dog toys) and make a purchase. This commission comes at no extra cost to you.

We want to be transparent about how this works. When you click on an affiliate link, a cookie is set on your device. This cookie allows the retailer to track that you were referred by PetSupplyGo.com. If you make a purchase, we receive a commission. The cookie typically expires within 24-30 days. It does not contain any personally identifiable information. It simply tells the retailer that you were referred by us.

We do not receive your credit card details, your physical address, or any other personally identifiable information from these retailers. We only receive aggregated, non-identifiable data about the sales that were referred by our site. For example, we might receive a report that says “10 sales of Brand X dog bed were referred by PetSupplyGo.com last month.” We do not receive any information about who made those purchases.

Your Choice:

You are never obligated to click on our affiliate links or make a purchase through our links. You can always search for the product directly on the retailer’s website. However, if you do choose to click on our links and make a purchase, we appreciate your support. It helps us keep the lights on and continue producing free, in-depth reviews of dog products. If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, email info@petsupplygo.com.

13. Cookie Consent and Management

When you first visit PetSupplyGo.com, you will see a cookie consent banner that asks you to accept or manage cookies. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your cookie preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our website.

What Happens If You Reject Cookies:

If you reject non-essential cookies, you can still browse PetSupplyGo.com. However, some features may not function optimally. For example, personalized deal alerts may not work, and we may not be able to remember your preferences. Essential cookies will still be set because they are necessary for the website to function.

Managing Cookies in Your Browser:

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, block third-party cookies, or clear cookies when you close your browser. Here are links to cookie management instructions for popular browsers:

14. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, if you subscribe to our newsletter, we will retain your email address until you unsubscribe or until we determine that the newsletter is no longer active.

15. Business Transfers and Bankruptcy

If PetSupplyGo.com is acquired by or merged with another company, or if we file for bankruptcy, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring company or a trustee. We will notify you via email or a prominent notice on the site before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy. You will have the opportunity to unsubscribe or delete your data before the transfer occurs.

We will also take reasonable steps to ensure that the acquiring company or trustee agrees to protect your personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy. However, we cannot guarantee that they will do so. If you are concerned about a potential transfer, you can delete your data before the transfer occurs. If you have questions about business transfers, email info@petsupplygo.com.
