Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-08-13

Top Dog Site (topdogsite.com) provides dog-related editorial content and may use analytics, advertising, consent-management and related technologies to operate and fund the website.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, technical information may be processed automatically, such as IP address, browser/device information, approximate location derived from network information, pages viewed and interaction data. This supports site operation, security, fraud prevention, measurement and, where consent permits, advertising.

Top Dog Site displays advertising through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, IP addresses or other identifiers in connection with ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and, where permitted, ad personalization.

Google explains how it uses information from sites and apps that use its services here:

Information about Google advertising and privacy choices is available from Google's privacy and advertising resources.

Cookies and local storage

The site and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality, consent preferences, analytics, advertising, security, fraud prevention and measurement. Where law or Google policy requires consent, relevant technologies should not be used for consent-dependent purposes until the required signal has been obtained.

Visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland and other jurisdictions where applicable may be presented with a consent-management interface. Users should be able to revisit those choices through a persistent "Privacy choices" or similar link.

Analytics

If analytics is enabled, aggregate usage information may be used to understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical problems and improve the website.

Current analytics services: None enabled at launch.

Contact forms and email

If you contact Top Dog Site, the information you submit—such as your email address, name and message—may be retained as reasonably necessary to respond, maintain business records, prevent abuse and handle legal or editorial matters.

Affiliate links

Some links may be affiliate links. A merchant may receive information when you follow those links according to that merchant's own privacy practices.

Data retention

Personal information should be retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legal obligations, dispute resolution, security and legitimate business records.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, privacy laws may give you rights relating to access, deletion, correction, objection, restriction, consent withdrawal or other handling of personal data. Contact us to make a request. We may need to verify the request before acting on it.

Children

Top Dog Site is a general-audience dog-information website and is not designed as a service directed to children under the age threshold applicable in the visitor's jurisdiction.

Changes

This policy may be updated when services, laws or business practices change. Material changes should be reflected by updating the effective date.
