1. Introduction
DogBaths.com is an online directory connecting dog owners with pet grooming services across the United States. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights. By using our site, you agree to these practices. Effective date: June 2026.
2. Information We Collect
- You give us directly: Business listing details (name, address, phone, email, photos), contact messages, and newsletter email addresses.
- Automatically: Basic analytics — pages visited, browser type, general location. We use this only to improve the site.
- Public sources: Some business information is sourced from publicly available data to populate our directory.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Display and manage groomer listings so dog owners can find local services
- Respond to contact and listing inquiries
- Send our newsletter — only to people who signed up, unsubscribe anytime
- Improve site performance and understand what content is most useful
- Prevent spam and abuse
4. How We Share Your Information
- Business listing details are public by design — that's the purpose of a directory
- We use trusted services for hosting (Vercel), database (Supabase), and email (Resend) — they process data only as needed to operate our site
- We do not sell your personal information. Ever.
- We may disclose information if required by law
5. Cookies
We use basic cookies to keep the site running smoothly and understand how visitors use DogBaths.com (for example, which cities and states are most searched). We don't use advertising trackers or sell data to ad networks.
6. Data Retention
Business listings remain on the site until removed by request. Newsletter subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact messages are kept for up to 12 months. You can request deletion of your data at any time.
7. Your Privacy Rights
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information. To make a request, email us at hello@dogbaths.com. We'll respond within 30 days. California residents have additional rights under CCPA — contact us for details.
8. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your information. Our site runs on Vercel and Supabase, both of which use industry-standard encryption and security practices. No system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's Privacy
DogBaths.com is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our site grows or adds new features (such as payments or user accounts). Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We recommend checking periodically.
