Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how PawTown, the trading name of pawtowns collects, uses, and protects information when you visit pawtowns.com, contact us, request information about our pet care services, or purchase products through our website.

We are committed to handling visitor and customer information responsibly and transparently. This policy is intended to include the CCPA-related privacy information required by the website brief for a U.S.-based business.

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with PawTown, we may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Billing and shipping information
  • Information submitted through contact or quote request forms
  • Order and purchase information
  • Communications you send to PawTown

We may also collect certain technical information when you use our website, such as browser type, device information, IP address, pages visited, referring pages, and general website usage information.

Payment information may be processed by the payment provider used for our online shop. The developer brief states that the final payment processor is to be confirmed before implementation, so a specific processor should not be named here until that decision has been made.

2. How We Use Your Information

We may use information collected through our website to:

  • Respond to questions and contact requests
  • Process requests for grooming, daycare, boarding, and other PawTown services
  • Provide requested pricing or quotations
  • Process and manage product orders
  • Communicate about purchases or services
  • Provide customer support
  • Operate and improve our website
  • Maintain website security
  • Understand how visitors interact with our website
  • Meet applicable legal and regulatory obligations

We only intend to collect information reasonably necessary for the relevant interaction or transaction.

3. Online Orders and Transactions

PawTown may sell premium pet accessories and other physical products through its online shop.

When you place an order, information necessary to complete the transaction may be collected, including your contact, billing, shipping, and order information.

The website is required to use HTTPS for checkout, collect only information needed to complete an order, display an order confirmation after purchase, and send an automatic confirmation email.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

PawTown may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, understand website usage, remember relevant preferences, and support website functionality.

A sitewide cookie consent banner will be provided as requested in the website instructions. More information about website cookies should be provided on our separate Cookie Policy page.

5. How We Share Information

We may disclose information to service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the website, fulfill orders, process transactions, deliver products, maintain website functionality, or provide requested services.

We may also disclose information when required by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or a valid governmental request.

We do not describe specific third-party providers here because the supplied developer brief does not identify the website’s final hosting, analytics, payment, shipping, email, or other service providers.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures designed to protect information handled through the PawTown website from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

The website instructions specifically require SSL/HTTPS to be enforced sitewide, including automatic redirection from HTTP to HTTPS.

However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

7. Data Retention

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, fulfilling transactions, and complying with applicable obligations.

Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

8. California Privacy Rights

The PawTown website brief requires the Privacy Policy to be CCPA-compliant and requires a CCPA opt-out mechanism because the business is based in the United States.

Subject to applicable law and eligibility requirements, California residents may have rights concerning their personal information, including rights to request information about certain personal information collected about them, request deletion or correction in applicable circumstances, and exercise applicable opt-out rights.

Where legally required, PawTown will provide an appropriate method for submitting applicable privacy or opt-out requests.

Privacy requests can be sent to:

 

The developer should ensure the site’s actual CCPA request/opt-out mechanism matches the final data practices and technologies implemented on the website before publication.

9. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and visitors should review those policies when using third-party websites or services.

Where PawTown uses third-party providers to support website functionality or transactions, information may be processed according to the relevant provider’s terms and privacy practices.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, services, business practices, or applicable requirements change.

When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page should be revised accordingly.
