ServiceDog Profile ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website servicedogprofile.org. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information: When you create an account or register a pet, we may collect:

• Full name and email address
• Password (stored in hashed form)
• Pet information (name, breed, species, photos, veterinary details)
• Payment information (processed securely through PayPal — we do not store card numbers)

Automatically Collected Information: We may collect standard web log data including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and referring URLs through standard server logs.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To communicate with you about your account and services
• To maintain and improve our website and services

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Payment Processors: PayPal processes payments on our behalf. Their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policy.
• Verification System: When someone uses our public verification portal with a registry ID, they can view the pet's name, registry ID, registration status, and owner's first name. No contact information is shared through verification.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers. We use industry-standard security measures including SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit and hashed passwords. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies and local storage to maintain your login session and preferences (such as language selection). We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

Our services are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.
