Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 28, 2023

​

Privacy

Your privacy is important to the iDog. This privacy statement provides information about the personal information that iDog collects and the ways in which iDog uses that personal information.

​

Who we are

Our website address is www.idog.co

​

Personal information collection

iDog may collect and use the following kinds of personal information:

  • information about your use of this website

  • information about transactions carried out over this website

  • any other information that you send to iDog

 

Using personal information

iDog may use your personal information to:

  • administer this website

  • enable your access to and use of the website services

  • publish information about you on the website

  • send you statements and invoices;

  • collect payments from you; and

  • send you marketing communications.

 

Where iDog discloses your personal information to its agents or sub-contractors for these purposes, the agent or sub-contractor in question will be obligated to use that personal information in accordance with the terms of this privacy statement.

​

In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere above, iDog may disclose your personal information to the extent that it is required to do so by law, in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and in order to establish, exercise or defend its legal rights.

 

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

​

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

 

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

​

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

 

What rights do you have over your data?

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you.

 

This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

 

Where do we send your data?

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

 

Securing your data

iDog will take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your personal information.

 

iDog will store all the personal information you provide on its secure servers.

iDog may update this privacy policy by posting a new version on this website.

You should check this page occasionally to ensure you are familiar with any changes.

What is spam?

In the context of electronic messaging, spam refers to unsolicited, bulk, or indiscriminate messages typically sent for a commercial purpose.

​

iDog has a zero-tolerance spam policy.

 

Automated spam filtering

iDog’s messaging systems automatically scan all incoming email [and other] messages and filter-out messages that appear to be spam.

 

Problems with spam filtering

No message filtering system is 100% accurate, and from time to time legitimate messages will be filtered out by iDog's systems.

​

If you believe this has happened to a message you have sent, please advise the message recipient by another means.

You can reduce the risk of a message being caught by the spam filters by sending the message in plain text (i.e. no HTML), removing any attachments, and ensuring that your messages are scanned for malware before dispatch.

​

Receipt of unwanted messages from iDog

In the unlikely event that you receive any message from iDog or sent using iDog’s systems that may be considered to be spam, please contact iDog using the details below and the matter will be investigated.

 

Changes to this anti-spam policy

iDog may amend this anti-spam policy at any time by publishing a new version on this website.
