What Personal Data We Collect and Why
Contact Forms & Appointment Requests: When you submit a contact form or booking request, we collect your name, phone number, email address, your dog’s details, and any message you provide. This information is used only to contact you, schedule appointments, and provide grooming services. We do not sell or share your information for marketing purposes.
Comments (if enabled): If comments are enabled on the website, WordPress automatically collects the data shown in the comment form, your IP address, and browser information to help detect spam. If you use a Gravatar account, an anonymized string may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. Their privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval, your profile picture becomes visible to the public.
Media: If you upload images to the website (for example, through a form), you should avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website could potentially download and extract location data from such images.
Cookies: The website may use cookies for basic functionality such as remembering your preferences, storing login information for site admins, or improving performance. If you leave a comment, you may opt into saving your name and email in cookies for convenience. These cookies last for one year. When site administrators log in, temporary cookies may be set to test browser compatibility, store login details, and track screen display options. These do not store personal data beyond what is needed for the admin interface.
Embedded Content: Pages on this site may contain embedded content such as videos, images, or booking widgets. Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you visited those websites directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor interaction according to their own privacy policies.
Who We Share Your Data With: We do not sell or share your personal information with outside companies. If you use an online booking system, your appointment details may pass through that booking provider solely for scheduling. Comments, if enabled, may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
How Long We Retain Your Data: Contact form submissions and booking requests may be retained for customer service and scheduling history. Comments and their metadata are stored indefinitely unless manually removed. If any user accounts are created for administrative purposes, profile data is stored as long as the account exists. Customers do not need an account to use the website.
Your Rights Over Your Data: You may request a copy of your personal information, ask that we correct it, or ask that we delete it. To make a request, email us at barknstylegrooming@gmail.com (replace with her real email). Some information may be retained for legal or service history reasons.
Where Your Data Is Sent: Contact form submissions may be emailed directly to us. Comments may be checked via automated spam detection. Booking forms may be processed through the booking plugin used on the website.
How We Protect Your Data: We use standard website security measures including SSL encryption, secure hosting, login protection, and restricted administrator access. Only authorized staff may access customer information.
