5. Puppy Applications

Information submitted through a Stony Point Doodles puppy application is used primarily to evaluate prospective puppy homes, communicate with applicants, understand the environment in which a puppy may live, and help us determine an appropriate puppy placement.

Submission of an application does not guarantee approval, reservation, or availability of a puppy.

We do not use information submitted in a puppy application to make decisions concerning employment, credit, insurance, housing, or other purposes governed by consumer reporting laws.

6. Payments

If you make a deposit or payment electronically, payment processing may be handled by a third party payment processor.

We may receive information concerning the transaction, such as your name, contact information, payment status, transaction amount, and transaction identifier. We generally do not need to directly store complete payment card information when payments are processed by a third party payment provider.

The payment provider’s collection and processing of information is also governed by its own privacy practices.

We may disclose personal information to service providers and other parties that assist us in operating our business, such as:

• Analytics providers
• Advertising and marketing technology providers, if used
• Accountants, attorneys, insurers, and other professional advisors

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to protect Stony Point Doodles, our customers, our animals, our property, or the rights and safety of others.

If the ownership or operation of Stony Point Doodles changes, information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, sale, restructuring, or transfer of business assets.

8. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Stony Point Doodles does not operate as a data broker and does not sell customer or puppy applicant information to third parties in exchange for money.

Certain advertising, analytics, or website technologies may constitute “sharing,” “targeted advertising,” or a similar activity under the privacy laws of certain states depending upon how those technologies are configured.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide consumers with the ability to exercise applicable choices concerning these activities.

If Stony Point Doodles offers text message communications, we will use telephone numbers for communications relating to inquiries, applications, puppy availability, reservations, appointments, or other communications you have requested or authorized.

Where consent is required for marketing text messages, we will obtain the appropriate consent before sending such messages.

Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing a puppy or any other product or service.

Message and data rates may apply. You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP or following other opt out instructions provided with the message.

11. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining business and transaction records, administering puppy contracts and health records, resolving disputes, complying with legal obligations, and protecting our legal rights.

Retention periods may vary depending upon the nature of the information and our legal or business obligations.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete, destroy, or anonymize it as appropriate.

12. Information Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No website, database, electronic transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Therefore, while we take reasonable precautions to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Not every right applies in every jurisdiction or to every business.

Even where a particular state privacy statute does not apply to Stony Point Doodles, we may attempt to honor reasonable requests to access, correct, or delete information when practical and consistent with our legal and business obligations.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a privacy request.

Where applicable law requires Stony Point Doodles to recognize a legally valid browser based opt out preference signal, we will endeavor to process that signal as required by applicable law.

Please note that other browser based “Do Not Track” signals do not currently operate according to a universally accepted industry standard.
