Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 16, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Sport Dog Source (“Sport Dog Source,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operating at sportdogsource.com, collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website. Sport Dog Source is based in Mississippi, and this policy is governed by the laws of the State of Mississippi.
Information We Collect
Like most websites, our server and hosting provider automatically log standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and the time and date of your visit. This information is used only to operate, secure, and maintain the site, and to understand basic traffic patterns.
If you leave a comment on the site, we collect the information provided in the comment form (name, email address, and comment content), along with your IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a “hash”) may be checked against the Gravatar service to see if you use it; the Gravatar service’s own privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After a comment is approved, your name and any Gravatar profile image are visible publicly alongside your comment.
If you send us an email directly, we will have your email address and whatever information you choose to include in your message.
Cookies
This site, like most WordPress sites, uses a small number of cookies for basic functionality — for example, to remember your comment details if you choose to leave a comment, or for security purposes if you log in as an administrator. These cookies do not track you across other websites.
As of the date above, we do not run Google Analytics, Meta/Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party advertising or analytics tracking tool on this site. If that changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy to describe what is added and how it’s used.
Amazon Associates & Affiliate Links
Sport Dog Source is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, Sport Dog Source earns from qualifying purchases.
When you click a link to Amazon (or another retailer or affiliate partner) from this site, that company may place its own cookies or similar tracking technology on your device to track the referral and, if you make a purchase, to credit Sport Dog Source with a commission. We do not control this tracking, and it is subject to that company’s own privacy policy, not ours. Amazon’s privacy notice is available at https://www.amazon.com/privacy.
Embedded Content & Data We Share
Pages on this site may include embedded content (for example, an embedded Instagram post or YouTube video). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited that other website directly. These sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention & Your Rights
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically, rather than holding every comment for manual moderation. Emails sent directly to us are retained as long as reasonably necessary to respond to and document the correspondence.
If you have left a comment on this site, you can request an exported copy of the personal data we hold about you, or request that we delete it. To make a request, email us at [email protected]. We will respond as promptly as we reasonably can.
Children’s Privacy & Policy Changes
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example as the site adds new features, tools, or affiliate partners. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
