Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1/23/25
Finest City Dog Training (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use and protect that information, and your rights regarding your personal data.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Personal Information: Name, email address, phone number, mailing address, payment information, or other details you provide when using our website.
- Non-Personal Information: Browser type, operating system, IP address, device information, and website usage data.
2. How We Collect Information
We collect information in the following ways:
- Directly from You: When you fill out forms, register an account, or interact with us.
- Automatically: Through cookies, log files, and analytics tools when you browse our website.
- Third-Party Sources: If you interact with us through social media or other platforms.
3. How We Use Your Information
We may use your information to:
- Provide, manage, and improve our services.
- Process transactions and send order updates.
- Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
- Send promotional emails or newsletters, if you opt in.
- Ensure security and prevent fraudulent activity.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze site performance, and gather information about your browsing behavior. You can control your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
5. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. However, we may share your data with:
- Service Providers: To help us operate our business (e.g., hosting, payment processing).
- Legal Authorities: When required by law or to protect our rights.
Anonymous Website Measurement
Finest City Dog Training counts website visits and inquiries anonymously, so we can tell which advertising and pages actually bring in customers. This measurement is separate from any cookies or third-party tools our website uses (those are described under “4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies” in this policy), and it works the same whatever you choose about them. This counting:
- uses no cookies or other storage on your device;
- is collected by this website itself and sent from our web server to analytics hosted by our web provider, Explore Digital, which acts as our service provider and may use the data only to give us this report;
- records only the page you viewed (its address and title) and when, how you got here (for example, “Google Ads”, an advertising campaign tag, or the address of the page on another website that linked here, without its query string), your device and browser type and language setting, your country, and whether you clicked or tapped a phone number or email link on the website, or submitted one of our forms (the form’s name, not what you entered);
- never records what you type into a form, your name, email address, phone number, street address or order number;
- does not send your IP address to our analytics or store it there (only your country is recorded), discards advertising click identifiers, and groups each day’s page views with a visit code that our web server makes from your IP address and browser details using a secret key that is replaced every day, so a visit is not linked to your identity or to your visits on other days;
- is never sold or shared, never used to target advertising, and never combined with other information about you.
We keep this information in de-identified form. We will not attempt to re-identify it, and we contractually require our service provider not to re-identify it either. Detailed visit records are deleted after 90 days. We keep only overall totals, and those are deleted 25 months after the period they cover. Because this information can’t be linked to you, we can’t locate it to respond to a request to access or delete your data. For the same reason, we count visits even if you decline cookies in a cookie notice on this website or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal: this information is not sold or shared, so there is nothing to opt out of. We do not count visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or visits whose country we can’t determine.
This section is effective as of November 9, 2026.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access, update, or delete your personal information.
- Restrict or object to data processing.
- Opt-out of receiving marketing communications.
To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected].
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
8. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices or content.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our website is not intended for individuals under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with the updated effective date.
