Our website may also collect basic technical information automatically, such as browser type, device type, pages visited, and general usage patterns. This information is used in an aggregated way to improve the site and user experience.

Personal information is used only in ways that support communication about puppies, services, or website improvements. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Cookies and Website Tracking
Our website may use cookies or similar tools to understand how visitors use the site. Cookies are small files stored on your device that help remember preferences and measure site performance. They may track which pages are visited, how long visitors stay, and what type of device is used.
You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies or alert you when cookies are being used. Some features of the site may not function as smoothly without cookies, but essential content should remain accessible.
Information Sharing with Third Parties
Limited information may be shared with trusted third parties who help us deliver services related to your puppy adoption. Examples include:
- Payment processors that handle deposits or final payments
- Veterinary clinics involved in required health checks
- Transport or shipping providers arranging delivery of your puppy
These third parties should only receive the information needed to perform their services and are expected to handle your data in a responsible manner. We may also share information when required by law, such as responding to a legal request or protecting our rights and safety.
Data Security and Storage
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we work to maintain protective measures appropriate to the size and nature of our business.
Information may be stored in electronic form, including email records and website form submissions. Access to personal data is limited to individuals who need it to respond to inquiries, manage adoptions, or maintain the site.
Retention of Information
Personal information is retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy or to meet legal and business requirements. Records related to completed adoptions, payments, or transport arrangements may be kept for a period of time consistent with applicable laws and standard business practices.
Once information is no longer needed, it may be deleted or stored in an anonymized or aggregated form that does not personally identify you.
Your Choices and Rights
You have choices regarding how your information is used and stored. You may:
- Request to review or update your personal information
- Ask to correct inaccurate or incomplete details
- Request removal from general communication lists
- Express preferences about future contact
Certain records may need to be retained for legal or business reasons even if you request limited contact. Efforts will be made to honor reasonable requests promptly.
If you no longer wish to receive updates or messages not essential to an ongoing adoption process, you may contact us and request that your details be removed from those communications.
Children’s Privacy
Doxie House Puppies does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Communication and adoption arrangements should be handled by adults, such as parents or legal guardians. If we become aware that personal information from a child has been collected without parental consent, steps will be taken to remove that information.
