Privacy Policy

Dognate.org ("we") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what personal data we collect and how we use it. The data controller is Dognate.org, 1324B McAllister Street, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA.

1. Information we collect. When you register, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and password (stored as a secure hash, never in plain text). If you add an address to your account, we store that too. We also store the content of any wish or supply offer you post.

2. How we use it. We use this information to run the site: to create and secure your account, to display the wishes and supply offers you post, and to let you manage your own listings and addresses. We don't use your data for advertising, and we don't sell it to third parties.

3. What's public. Wishes and supply offers you post — including title, description, and any photo — are visible to anyone who visits the site. Your account details (email, phone number, addresses) are private and are not shown to other users.

4. Cookies. We use a small number of cookies that are necessary to keep you signed in and to remember your session. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

5. Where data is stored. Your data is stored on servers we operate or that our hosting provider operates on our behalf, and is protected with industry-standard security measures. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data from unauthorized access.

6. Disclosure. We don't share your personal data with third parties except: to comply with a legal obligation or court order, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Dognate or our users, or if Dognate's business or assets are transferred to another party, in which case your data would transfer as part of that.

7. Your rights. You can access, update, or delete the personal data tied to your account at any time from your account settings. You can also contact us to request a copy of your data or its deletion.

8. Changes to this policy. If we make material changes to this policy, we'll post the update here.

9. Contact. Questions about this policy can be sent to info@dognate.com or Dognate.org, 1324B McAllister Street, San Francisco, CA 94115, USA.
