These tools help us understand things like:

  • which pages are being viewed
  • how visitors move through the site
  • which traffic sources are sending visitors
  • how the site performs across devices

You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

4. When We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information in the following limited situations:

  • Service providers: with vendors that help us operate the website or business, such as hosting, analytics, forms, email, scheduling, or payment tools
  • Legal or safety reasons: if required to comply with law, legal process, or a valid government request, or if necessary to protect rights, safety, or property
  • Business changes: if SPENT K9 is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or business transfer, information may be transferred as part of that process

5. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • respond to inquiries
  • evaluate placement requests
  • maintain customer and business records
  • comply with legal, accounting, tax, or dispute-related obligations

How long we keep information depends on what it is, why it was collected, and whether there is an ongoing relationship.

You can contact us to:

  • ask what personal information we have about you
  • request correction of inaccurate information

Please note that we may still keep certain information where needed for legal, recordkeeping, safety, or operational reasons.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may link to third-party websites, social platforms, maps, or tools. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you interact with them.

8. Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through the site.

9. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect the information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live and whether a state privacy law applies to our business, you may have rights related to access, correction, deletion, portability, or appeal of a privacy decision. To make a request, contact us using the email below.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the Effective Date at the top of the page. Your continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies going forward.
