Privacy policy
This policy explains what personal data Pets Trend Store ("we", "us") collects when you use petstrendstore.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible and to be straight with you about it.
Information we collect
We collect two kinds of information:
- Information you give us. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. If you contact us, we receive whatever details you choose to send. That is it, we do not ask for or need anything more.
- Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect basic technical and usage data through cookies and similar technologies, such as the pages you visit, your device and browser type, and an approximate location derived from your IP address. This is used to understand how the site is used and to keep it working and secure.
How we use your information
- To send you the newsletter you signed up for, and nothing else by email unless you ask.
- To reply to any message or enquiry you send us.
- To understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it.
- To operate, maintain, and protect the website.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use essential cookies that make the site work, and analytics to understand traffic in aggregate (for example which guides are most read). Some third parties, such as affiliate programmes and social platforms, may also set cookies when you interact with their content or links. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as well without them.
Affiliate links
Pets Trend Store takes part in affiliate programmes, including the Amazon Associates Programme. This means that when you click certain links to products and then buy, we may earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. These programmes may use cookies to credit us with the sale. Our recommendations are our honest opinion and are not influenced by these commissions.
Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data, and we never share your newsletter email with anyone else for their own marketing. We do rely on a small number of trusted service providers to run the site, and your data may be processed by them on our behalf:
- Kit (our email provider) manages newsletter subscriptions.
- Amazon and other affiliate partners, for the links described above.
- Cloudflare, which hosts and delivers the website.
- Analytics and social platforms such as Pinterest, where you interact with our content.
Each of these has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have rights over your personal data, including the right to access it, correct it, delete it, or object to its use. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in every email, which removes your address from our list. To exercise any other right, or to ask a question about your data, pleaseget in touch.
Data retention
We keep your newsletter subscription until you unsubscribe, and we keep correspondence only for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry.
Children
This website is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page.
