PetPetStores Privacy Policy

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://petpetstores.com. We are an online store dedicated to providing pet owners with fun and unique products for their furry friends.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site—such as product reviews or blog posts—we collect the data shown in the comments form, including your name and email address (if provided). We also collect your IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.

If you use the Gravatar service, an anonymized string (called a hash) may be created from your email address and sent to Gravatar to check if you’re registered with them. Their privacy policy is available at: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked to Gravatar) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website—such as pet photos in reviews or profile pictures—please avoid including images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images posted on the site, which could unintentionally reveal your pet’s location.

Cookies

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies for your convenience. This means you won’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
  • Login Page: When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
  • Logged-In Users: If you log in to your account, we use several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen option cookies persist for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
  • Editing Content: If you edit or publish an article (e.g., a blog post or review), an additional cookie is saved in your browser. It contains no personal data, only the post ID of the content you edited, and expires after 1 day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles, product pages, or blog posts on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or articles) from other websites. This content behaves as if you’ve visited those sites directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interactions with the content. If you’re logged into those sites, they may track your activity accordingly.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email we send you. We do not share your personal data with third parties except as necessary for site functionality (e.g., spam detection services) or as required by law.

How Long We Retain Your Data

  • Comments: If you leave a comment, it and its metadata (e.g., timestamp, IP address) are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments without moderation.
  • Registered Users: For users who register on our website, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile (e.g., name, email, shipping address). You can view, edit, or delete this information at any time (except your username, which cannot be changed). Website administrators can also access and edit this data.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on PetPetStores or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including anything you’ve provided us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we have about you. Note that this does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes (e.g., order records for tax compliance).

To make a request, contact us via the information provided on our website.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be processed by an automated spam detection service to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on our site. We do not send your data to other third parties unless required for operational purposes or legal obligations.
