Who we are
At K9BS Dog Training, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you interact with our website.

Comments
When visitors leave comments on our website, we collect the data entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string. This information helps us detect and prevent spam.
If you use an email address to leave a comment, an anonymized string (hash) created from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have an account there. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if linked to Gravatar) may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, ensure that you do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract such location data from uploaded images. To protect your privacy, we recommend removing location metadata from images before uploading.
Cookies
Cookies are used on our site to improve your experience:
Editing Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be stored to record the post ID of the article you edited. This cookie expires after one day.
Comment Cookies: When you leave a comment, you can opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This saves you from re-entering your details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.
Login Cookies: If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie is used to check if your browser accepts cookies. It contains no personal data and is discarded upon closing your browser. When you log in, cookies store your login information for two days, or two weeks if you select “Remember Me.”
Embedded content from other websites
Articles or pages on our website may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles from other websites. Interacting with this content is similar to visiting the third-party website directly. These websites may collect your data, use cookies, embed additional tracking, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content. If you are logged into those websites, your activity may also be tracked by them.
Who we share your data with
We do not share your data with third parties except as necessary to fulfill requests or comply with legal requirements. For example, if you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
Comments: When you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments without manual moderation.
Registered Users: If you register on our site, we store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time, except for your username. Website administrators can also access and edit user information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on our website or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold, except for data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This helps ensure the integrity and security of our website.
