Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 05/01/2022

SECTION 1: WHO WE ARE  

Our website address is  https://www.technicaldogsbody.com. Privacy information is controlled by Andrew Blyth.

SECTION 2: WHAT PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT AND WHY WE COLLECT IT 

COMMENTS

When visitors leave comments on the site the data is collected and managed by Disqus. The Disqus service privacy policy is available here.

EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. youtube, pinterest, etc.).

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

ANALYTICS

We use Google Analytics to record information about the pages a user has seen, for example the URL of the page, time of day, device used, etc. The information that we collect anonymized and sent to Google Analytics for analysis. Google Analytics mainly uses first-party cookies to report on visitor interactions on this website. Users may disable cookies or delete any individual cookie. In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that – once installed and enabled – disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site a user visits. Note that this add-on only disables Google Analytics measurement. Google Analytics also collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to provide and protect the security of the service, and to give website owners a sense of which country, state, or city in the world their users come from (also known as “IP geolocation”). See this page for Google Analytics security and usage of data: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245

SECTION 3: WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

  • Merchants and payment processors;

We do this to:

  • comply with legal process;

  • enforce our Terms of Service Agreement and other agreements;

  • protect our operations;

  • protect our rights, privacy, safety or property, and/or that of our affiliates, you, or others;

  • and allow us to pursue available remedies or limit the damages that we may sustain.   

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to your website or other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Ads Settings. (Alternatively, you can direct users to opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.)
