Who We Are

This Privacy Policy outlines how Best Pups Home (https://bestpupshome.com) collects, uses, and protects your personal information. By using our website, you agree to the terms of this policy.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information entered into the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help prevent spam.

An anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to verify if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy can be accessed at Automattic Privacy Policy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if available) will be visible to the public within the comment context.

Media Uploads

If you upload images to our website, please avoid embedding location data (EXIF GPS) in them. Visitors can download and extract location data from any images shared publicly on our site.
