1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how 14463188 Canada Inc., operating as PuppyBreeder.PRO (“we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes personal information when you visit puppybreeder.pro or use our websites, products, or services (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy is written with Canadian private-sector privacy law in mind, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) and, where applicable, Alberta’s private-sector privacy legislation. If you are in the United States, additional disclosures in Section 12 may apply to you, including if you are a California resident.
Our Terms of Service govern use of the Services. Words used here have the same meaning as in the Terms unless this Policy defines them differently.
2. Who we are
The organization responsible for personal information described in this Policy is 14463188 Canada Inc., operating as PuppyBreeder.PRO, in Alberta, Canada. For privacy requests and questions, contact us at [email protected] . For questions about the Terms themselves, contact [email protected] .
3. Personal information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of personal information:
- Contact and identity information, such as your name, email address, phone number, kennel or business name, and similar details you provide when you inquire about the Services, create or manage an account, book a call, or communicate with us.
- Account and service information, such as subscription or plan details, preferences, support tickets, and content you upload to the Services (for example, puppy listings, photos, breeder story text, or documents you choose to host through our platform).
- Payment-related information. Payments are processed by third-party payment providers. We generally receive limited payment information (for example, confirmation of payment, partial card or billing metadata, or transaction references), not your full payment card number.
- Technical and usage information, such as IP address, device and browser type, general location inferred from IP, pages viewed, referring/exit pages, and timestamps. We may collect this through cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, as described in Section 6.
- Sensitive or regulated categories. We do not intentionally collect sensitive health information about you through our marketing website. If you upload health or welfare-related content about animals or people in connection with a breeder website, you are responsible for having an appropriate legal basis and notices for that content toward your own visitors and applicants.
4. How we use personal information
We use personal information for purposes such as:
- Providing, operating, securing, and improving the Services;
- Creating and managing accounts, authentication, and customer support;
- Processing payments and subscriptions, and sending transactional or service-related messages;
- Responding to inquiries, scheduling, and delivering information you request;
- Detecting, preventing, and addressing fraud, abuse, or technical issues;
- Complying with law, regulatory requests, or lawful process;
- Understanding usage of our marketing website and, where enabled, customer breeder websites through Google Analytics and similar tools; and
- Exercising our legal rights and enforcing our agreements, including our Terms of Service.
Under Canadian privacy principles, we collect and use personal information only for purposes a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances, and we aim to be transparent about those purposes.
5. Legal bases and consent
Where Canadian law requires consent, we rely on express or implied consent as appropriate for the situation (for example, implied consent when you voluntarily submit a form, or clearer consent for non-essential cookies if we use them). You may withdraw consent where withdrawal is legally permissible, subject to contractual and legal restrictions. Withdrawal may affect our ability to provide certain Services.
6. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies for essential operation of the Services, security, preferences, and analytics. We use Google Analytics to help understand how visitors use our marketing website and, where enabled, customer breeder websites. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, device/browser details, referring pages, and interactions with the site. You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can also learn about Google Analytics and available opt-out tools from Google. If you disable certain cookies, parts of the Services may not function properly.
7. When we disclose personal information
We may disclose personal information:
- To service providers who assist us (for example, hosting, payments, email delivery, Google Analytics or other analytics tools, forms, scheduling, customer support tooling, and security). We use reasonable steps to select providers and arrangements that support the purposes described in this Policy.
- For legal reasons, including to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights and safety, and enforce our Terms.
- In a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, where personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.
We do not sell personal information for money. If we use advertising, analytics, or similar technologies in a way that gives you additional opt-out rights under applicable privacy law, we will provide the required notices or choices.
8. Cross-border processing
We are based in Canada, but our service providers may process personal information in Canada, the United States, or other countries where they operate. Those countries may have different data protection rules than your home jurisdiction. Where required by law, we take steps that are appropriate in the circumstances to protect personal information disclosed across borders.
9. Retention
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to provide the Services, meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods can vary depending on the nature of the information and legal obligations.
10. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Your rights in Canada
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, and obtain information about how we have used and disclosed your personal information. You may also have the right to challenge our compliance with applicable Canadian privacy law by contacting us. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or, where applicable, a provincial privacy regulator.
To exercise these rights, email [email protected] . We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
12. United States privacy disclosures (including California)
Several US states have enacted consumer privacy laws. Depending on where you live and how our Services interact with you, additional rights or disclosures may apply. This section provides supplemental information for US residents, including California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”).
Categories of personal information collected. In the preceding twelve (12) months, we may have collected the categories described in Section 3, including identifiers, commercial information, internet or other electronic network activity, and professional or business information, depending on your interactions with us.
Purposes. We use and disclose personal information for the business and commercial purposes described in Sections 4 and 7.
Sensitive personal information. We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information about consumers as defined under California law through our general marketing website. If our practices change in a way that triggers additional California requirements, we will update this Policy and provide any required choices.
Sales, sharing, and targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. Some analytics, advertising, or similar technologies may be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” targeted advertising, or similar activity under certain privacy laws depending on how they are configured. If we use those technologies in a way that gives you opt-out rights, we will provide the required notices or choices.
Your California rights. If you are a California resident and the CCPA/CPRA applies to our processing, you may have the right to request access to certain personal information, deletion, correction of inaccurate personal information, and information about our practices, subject to exceptions. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request in some cases. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights granted by law.
Other US states. Residents of Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Utah, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights regarding access, deletion, correction, opt-out of certain processing, or appeals, depending on the law’s scope and applicability to our business. Contact us at [email protected] to submit a request or ask which rights apply.
How to submit a request. Email [email protected] with a description of your request and enough information for us to verify your identity. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law, if a law applies to our processing.
13. Children
The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where a higher age threshold applies by law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to investigate and delete the information where required by law.
14. If you are a breeder (visitors to your breeder website)
If you use our platform to operate a breeder website, you may collect personal information from your own visitors, applicants, or customers (for example, through contact forms, applications, email links, or analytics tools we provide or configure). You are generally the organization that decides why and how that information is collected, and you are responsible for providing your own privacy notice and obtaining any required consent or permissions toward those individuals. We process that information as needed to host and operate the tools you use, in accordance with our agreement with you and this Policy.
15. Automated decision-making
We do not use solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects about you without human involvement, unless we notify you otherwise in connection with a specific product feature.
16. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. We will post the updated Policy on this page and revise the “Last updated” date. If a change is material, we will provide additional notice as required by law (for example, by email or an in-product notice).
