Privacy Policy
Data We Collect
We gather data at Petfila to ensure a seamless and satisfying experience for you. We ask for your name, email address, username, and password when you sign up. We will need payment information, such as your credit or debit card details and the invoice address, if you purchase something (such as pet supplies or a subscription), but don’t worry, we use reliable payment collaborators to process this safely. In order to determine how you utilize the website (such as which posts you enjoy or whether the site loads slowly), we also automatically gather technical information like your Internet Protocol (IP) address, equipment type, and your web browser. f you comment on posts, share photos of your pets, or chat in forums, we save that content. We also keep records of if you email our support team or sign up for newsletters.
How We Use Your Data
We use your information to maintain website’s smooth operation and to improve your experience. We use your account information to safely log you in and complete transactions. You can remove yourself from our emails at any moment, but we may send you advertisements, pet-related advice, or updating. We may resolve flaws, prevent unwanted content, and learn what kinds of material you like so we can recommend publishes that will appeal to you with the help of technical details (like cookies). We create a fun environment for pet owners by sharing your comments and photos with the community. In order to identify trends or collaborate with pet brands, we occasionally aggregate user data (without names).
How We Share Your Information
We don’t sell your personal info. Ever. But we do work with trusted helpers to run Petfila, like companies that process payments or send emails. These partners must keep your data safe. If you interact with a sponsored post (like a pet toy giveaway), we might share general stats (e.g., how many users clicked the link) with the brand, but not your name. If required by law—like a legal investigation, we’ll share info to stay compliant. If Petfila ever merges with another company, your data might transfer as part of the deal. Remember: anything you post publicly (comments, profile pics) can be seen by others and might pop up in search engines. We also use anonymous data for ads (e.g., showing dog owners ads for chew toys), but it’s not tied to you.
How Can You Access Your Information
You’re in charge! Update your name, email, or password anytime in your account settings. Don’t want newsletters? Click “unsubscribe” at the bottom of our emails. To delete your account, email [petfilla85@gmail.com]—we’ll remove your personal info, but public posts (like comments) might stay unless you delete them first. Want a copy of your data? Just ask us at the same email. You can also block cookies in your browser, but parts of the site might not work as well. If you linked social media accounts (like logging in with Google), manage those through the original platform. We keep some data for legal reasons (like fraud prevention), but we’ll only hold onto what’s necessary.
Children Policy
Petfila is meant for adults. We don’t target kids under 18, and we don’t knowingly collect their info. If a child signs up without parental consent, we’ll delete their account ASAP. Parents: If your child shares info with us, and we’ll help fix it. We recommend guiding your kids online and using parental controls to block sites that collect personal data. While our content is family-friendly, some user posts (like forum debates) might not be suitable for young kids—use your best judgment!
Links To Other Websites
We sometimes link to cool pet products, vet blogs, or Instagram pages. These sites aren’t run by us, so we can’t control how they handle your data. Always check their privacy policies before sharing info. Just because we link to them doesn’t mean we endorse them—and if a link seems fishy, let us know at our Contact Us Form. Embedded content (like YouTube videos) might collect data as if you visited their site directly, so be mindful!
Security Policy
By using Petfila, you agree to play nice. Don’t harass others, spam the comments, or post illegal content. You own what you share (like Fluffy’s adorable photos), but you’re letting us display it on the site. If you break the rules, we might suspend your account. Any big legal disputes will go through arbitration (not court). We can update these Terms anytime—we’ll post changes here, and your continued use means you’re cool with them.
