Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 20, 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit dog-health-handbook.com (the “Site”), how we use it and the choices you have.

1. Who we are

The Site is owned and operated by Web Ventures of New York, Inc., doing business as Dog Health Handbook (“we,” “us” or “our”). Web Ventures of New York, Inc. is responsible for the personal information collected through the Site. Our contact details are at the end of this policy.

2. Information we collect

• Information you send us. When you submit a reader question, story or comment, or contact us, we collect what you provide, such as your name, email address, location, the text of your message and any photos. Our submission forms record the date and the IP address the form was sent from.
• Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our hosting provider and our advertising and analytics partners collect technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, the page that referred you and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through server logs, cookies, pixels and similar technologies.

The Site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

3. How we use information

• To review, edit, publish and answer reader questions. Submissions may be published on the Site. When we publish one, we show the first name you gave at most and remove contact details, full names and locations.
• To reply to you, and to send you notices you ask for, such as a notice that your question was published.
• To run, secure and improve the Site and understand which pages are useful.
• To show advertising and to track affiliate referrals, as described below.
• To comply with the law and protect our rights.

We do not sell the names or email addresses of people who send us questions.

4. Advertising, affiliate links and analytics

• Google AdSense. We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can turn off personalized ads at Google Ad Settings and learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ personalized ads at aboutads.info.
• Affiliate programs. We take part in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other affiliate programs, including the online vet question service shown on our pages. When you click an affiliate link or use a partner widget, the partner may set cookies or collect information to credit the referral. Their own privacy policies apply.
• Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are viewed, how long visits last, how visitors arrived (for example, from a search engine) and general device and browser information. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies and collects your IP address to estimate your general location (such as city or country). Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. We use this information only in aggregate and do not use it to identify individual visitors. Where consent is required, such as for visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, analytics cookies are used only in line with the choices you make in our consent message. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Social features. Share and like buttons may let social networks such as Facebook collect information about your visit under their own policies.

5. Cookies and your choices

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may change the ads you see but will not stop you using the Site. Where required by law, such as for visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown.

6. How information is shared

We share information only as follows: with service providers that help us run the Site, such as our website host (Solo Build It!/SiteSell) and email providers; with advertising, analytics and affiliate partners as described above; if required by law or to protect rights and safety; and with a buyer or successor if the Site or our business is sold or transferred, in which case this policy will continue to apply to information collected before the transfer.

7. How long we keep information

We keep submissions and messages for as long as needed to publish and answer them, run the Site and meet legal obligations. Published submissions stay on the Site until removed. You can ask us to remove your published submission at any time.

8. Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete personal information you sent us, or to remove a published submission, by emailing us. Depending on where you live, including certain U.S. states, the EEA and the UK, you may have additional rights, such as to opt out of targeted advertising or the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as defined by those laws. To use these rights, email us with the subject line “Privacy request.” We will respond within the time required by law and will not treat you differently for using your rights.

9. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website or internet transmission is completely secure.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date above shows when it last changed. Material changes will be posted on this page.
