  • 2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to run our platform and keep it safe. Specifically, we use it to:

We do not sell, rent, or trade your private personal information to third parties. However, we may share information in the following scenarios:

  • Public Display: The contact information and listing details you explicitly provide for a dog listing will be visible to all visitors of the website so they can contact you about the animal.
  • Service Providers: We may share data with trusted third-party vendors who help us operate our site (such as website hosting providers, email delivery services, or analytics tools). These providers only have access to the data needed to perform their specific tasks.
  • Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or government regulation, or to protect the safety, rights, and property of our users or the public.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
