1. Introduction
Welcome to Safe Alone Time. We provide valuable educational guides, interactive stress-assessment tests, and expert reviews of canine calming gear, aiming to help separation-anxious dogs and their dedicated human parents live happier, stress-free lives.
We are deeply committed to safeguarding the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy details the exact types of information we collect, how we store and process it, and our compliance with affiliate marketing guidelines.
By accessing our website or completing our canine stress assessments, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy. If you do not agree with any terms, please discontinue using this site.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information to deliver better guidance and recommendations. The information collected falls into two primary categories:
- Information You Provide Directly: When you participate in our interactive Canine Separation Anxiety Assessment, we ask for your first name, your dog's name, and your email address. If you optionally choose to sign up for text-message training tips, we also collect your mobile phone number.
- Automated Analytics Data: We collect standard log files and device identifiers. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click paths. This data does not contain personally identifiable information.
3. How We Use Information
Your information is utilized solely to assist you in resolving your dog's separation anxiety. Specific uses include:
- Analyzing and calculating your dog's separation anxiety severity score.
- Emailing you a personalized behavioral blueprint, tips, and calming gear recommendations.
- Sending you puppy training advice via SMS text message, but only if you have checked our unchecked, optional opt-in consent box.
- Improving our website layout, testing resource relevance, and researching training success metrics.
- Detecting, preventing, and addressing technical errors or security threats.
We will never sell, lease, or distribute your personal details to third-party list brokers or outside marketers.
