This Privacy Policy describes how DogEmpires (the âSiteâ, âweâ, âusâ, or âourâ) collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you visit, use our services, or make a purchase from dogempires.se (the âSiteâ) or otherwise communicate with us (collectively, the âServicesâ). For purposes of this Privacy Policy, âyouâ and âyourâ means you as the user of the Services, whether you are a customer, website visitor, or another individual whose information we have collected pursuant to this Privacy Policy.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use or access any of the Services.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised Privacy Policy on the Site, update the âLast updatedâ date and take any other steps required by applicable law.
To provide the Services, we collect and have collected over the past 12 months personal information about you from a variety of sources, as set out below. The information that we collect and use varies depending on how you interact with us.
In addition to the specific uses set out below, we may use information we collect about you to communicate with you, provide the Services, comply with any applicable legal obligations, enforce any applicable terms of service, and to protect or defend the Services, our rights, and the rights of our users or others.
The types of personal information we obtain about you depends on how you interact with our Site and use our Services. When we use the term âpersonal informationâ, we are referring to information that identifies, relates to, describes or can be associated with you. The following sections describe the categories and specific types of personal information we collect.
Information that you directly submit to us through our Services may include:
Some features of the Services may require you to directly provide us with certain information about yourself. You may elect not to provide this information, but doing so may prevent you from using or accessing these features.
We also automatically collect certain information about your interaction with the Services (âUsage Dataâ). To do this, we may use cookies, pixels and similar technologies (âCookiesâ). Usage Data may include information about how you access and use our Site and your account, including device information, browser information, information about your network connection, your IP address and other information regarding your interaction with the Services.
Finally, we may obtain information about you from third parties, including from vendors and service providers who may collect information on our behalf, such as:
Any information we obtain from third parties will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We are not responsible or liable for the accuracy of the information provided to us by third parties and are not responsible for any third partyâs policies or practices. For more information, see the section below, Third Party Websites and Links.
We use cookies and similar technologies on this site. Some are needed for the site to work, for example to keep your cart and remember your language. We also use anonymous analytics (PostHog, hosted in the EU) for every visitor regardless of your cookie choice. These analytics never create a profile of you and we do not link them to your name or email. With your permission, or by default where the law allows it, we also use marketing cookies from Meta, Google and Klaviyo to measure our ads and show you relevant ones. The list below names every cookie we set, who sets it, why, and for how long.
In certain circumstances, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for legitimate purposes subject to this Privacy Policy. Such circumstances may include:
We have, in the past 12 months disclosed the following categories of personal information about users for the purposes set out above in âHow we Collect and Use your Personal Informationâ and âHow we Disclose Personal Informationâ:
Categories:
Categories of Recipients:
We do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for the purposes of inferring characteristics about you.
The Services may enable you to post product reviews and other user-generated content. If you choose to submit user generated content to any public area of the Services, this content will be public and accessible by anyone.
We do not control who will have access to the information that you choose to make available to others, and cannot ensure that parties who have access to such information will respect your privacy or keep it secure. We are not responsible for the privacy or security of any information that you make publicly available, or for the accuracy, use or misuse of any information that you disclose or receive from third parties.
Our Site may provide links to websites or other online platforms operated by third parties. If you follow links to sites not affiliated or controlled by us, you should review their privacy and security policies and other terms and conditions. We do not guarantee and are not responsible for the privacy or security of such sites, including the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information found on these sites. Information you provide on public or semi-public venues, including information you share on third-party social networking platforms may also be viewable by other users of the Services and/or users of those third-party platforms without limitation as to its use by us or by a third party. Our inclusion of such links does not, by itself, imply any endorsement of the content on such platforms or of their owners or operators, except as disclosed on the Services.
The Services are not intended to be used by children, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information about children. If you are the parent or guardian of a child who has provided us with their personal information, you may contact us using the contact details set out below to request that it be deleted.
As of the Effective Date of this Privacy Policy, we do not have actual knowledge that we âshareâ or âsellâ (as those terms are defined in applicable law) personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
Please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee âperfect security.â In addition, any information you send to us may not be secure while in transit. We recommend that you do not use unsecure channels to communicate sensitive or confidential information to us.
How long we retain your personal information depends on different factors, such as whether we need the information to maintain your account, to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes or enforce other applicable contracts and policies.
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the rights listed below in relation to your personal information. However, these rights are not absolute, may apply only in certain circumstances and, in certain cases, we may decline your request as permitted by law.
You may exercise any of these rights where indicated on our Site or by contacting us using the contact details provided below.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. We may need to collect information from you to verify your identity, such as your email address or account information, before providing a substantive response to the request. In accordance with applicable laws, you may designate an authorized agent to make requests on your behalf to exercise your rights. Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require that the agent provide proof that you have authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us.
Where the law requires it, we ask before we set marketing or analytics cookies. Nothing optional is set until you accept, and you can change your choice at any time through "Cookie settings" in the footer. If you reject, we still use anonymous site statistics as described above, and if you arrived from an ad we may still report that one purchase back to the ad platform using only the ad click id and the order value, without cookies or personal details.
Where marketing and analytics cookies are allowed by default, they are on when you arrive and you can turn them off at any time in the footer. In the United States the footer link is called "Do not sell or share my personal information"; elsewhere it is called "Cookie settings". Both open the same settings, where "Reject all" turns everything optional off. If you turn them off, we do not report your purchase to any ad platform.
If you live in California or another US state with a consumer privacy law, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information and of targeted advertising, to know what personal information we collect and how we use it, to ask us to delete or correct it, and not to be treated differently for using these rights. We do not sell personal information for money. We share identifiers (such as a cookie id or ad click id) with Meta and Google so that they can measure and target our ads, which some state laws count as "sharing". To opt out, use "Do not sell or share my personal information" in the footer, or email info@dogempires.com. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.
We honour the Global Privacy Control browser signal. If your browser sends it, we treat it as a request to opt out of marketing and analytics cookies for that browser, without you needing to do anything else. You can still change your choice in the footer.
If you have complaints about how we process your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided below. If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint, depending on where you live you may have the right to appeal our decision by contacting us using the contact details set out below, or to lodge your complaint with your local data protection authority. For individuals in Sweden, the supervisory authority is the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY). For individuals elsewhere in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may contact your local data protection authority.
Please note that we may transfer, store and process your personal information outside the country in which you reside. Your personal information is also processed by staff operating outside your country who work for us or for one of our service providers. We will take appropriate measures to ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that your personal information remains protected to the standards described in this Privacy Policy.
Should you have any questions about our privacy practices or this Privacy Policy, or if you would like to exercise any of the rights available to you, please email us at info@dogempires.com.
