Dogily (“we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to safeguarding your privacy rights and ensuring that your personal data is protected. This Privacy Policy helps you understand our information collecting practices and explains our use of your personal data when you use our website (the “Site”) and/ or have interactions with us on social media platforms or adverts and content on third party websites.

Collection of Information

We collect the information that identifies, relates to, describes, or is reasonably capable of being associated with a particular consumer (“personal information”) along with information that does not directly identify a particular consumer (“non-personal information”). Both personal and non-personal information will be collected from you in several different ways on this Site:

    We may sometimes collect geolocation data on the Site.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file which is placed onto your computer or electronic device when you access the Site. Other similar technologies include web beacons, local shared objects ('flash cookies'), action tags and single-pixel gifs. These technologies can be used to track users' actions and activities, and to store information about them. For the following purposes, we use these cookies and/ or similar technologies on this Site to:

  • Target out marketing campaigns and advertisements
  • Keep track of the items stored in your shopping cart
  • Obtain information about your use of the internet, your preferences and some/ other online movements

The information we obtain from our use of cookies will not usually contain your personal data. While we may obtain information about your computer or any other electronic device which you use to access the Site, such as your IP address, your browser and/ or other internet log information, this information will not usually identify you personally.

In most cases we will need your consent in order to use cookies on the Site. The exception is where the cookie is essential in order for us to provide you with a service you have requested, or essential to the inherent functionality of the website (e.g. the cookie is to enable you to store our products in a shopping basket and/ or to use our check-out process).

We may use third-party advertising companies to help tailor the content on the Site to users or to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may use cookies and web beacons to measure the effectiveness of the advertisements (such as the web pages visited or products purchased and in what amount). Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and web beacons is not linked to any personal information collected by Dogily. For instance, Facebook collects certain information via cookies and web beacons to determine which web pages are visited or what products are purchased by the customers. Please note that any information collected by Facebook via cookies and web beacons is not linked to any customer’s personal information collected by us.

To turn off cookies, you can set your browser not to accept cookies. However, as a result,  some of our website features may not function.

Log Files
The Site server automatically recognizes the Internet URL from which you access the Site, which is always a true case in many websites. We may also log your Internet protocol (“IP”) address, Internet service provider, order verification, internal marketing, date/ time stamp for system administration and troubleshooting purposes. (An IP address may indicate the location of your computer on the Internet.)

Do Not Track
In the case, your browser settings may allow you to set a “Do Not Track” preference. This Site does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” signals, just like many other websites and online services.

From Other Sources
We may collect information from data aggregators or data providers to supplement information you provide to us.

Once Dogily receives and confirms your verifiable consumer request, we will delete your personal information from our records, unless an exception applies. 

To exercise your rights as described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by email at support@dogily.com.

Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. You may only make a verifiable request two times within a 12-month period. In order for your request to be a verifiable request, you must:

  • Provide sufficient and accurate information that allows us to reasonably verify that you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative. Email address and order ID shall be provided as well.
  • Describe your request with sufficient details that allow us to understand, evaluate, and respond to the request efficiently and properly.

We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request. 

We will make our best efforts to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days upon the receipt of the request. If Dogily requires more time, we will inform you of the reason(s) and indicate the extension period by email.

We will provide responses to verifiable consumer requests in a format that is readily usable and transmittable, generally electronically. We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or unfounded.

Commitment to Data Security

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow the industry’s best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. Your personally identifiable information is kept secure and encrypted during the type of transmission.

For payments we are using a certified payment gateway provider. All credit card details are encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). All payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. We therefore do not see or keep your credit card information.

While we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we cannot guarantee complete security. 100% complete security does not presently exist anywhere online or offline and we cannot promise, and you should not expect, that your information will be secure in all circumstances.
