Privacy Policy

Dogable.net (“Dogable“) operates Dogable.net and may operate other websites. The privacy of our visitors is of extreme importance to us. This privacy policy document outlines the types of personal information received and collected by Dogable.net and how it is used.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Dogable collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Dogable.net’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Dogable.net’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Dogable may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Dogable also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on Dogable.net blogs/sites. Dogable only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)

The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.

First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.

Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.

The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:

  • IP Address
  • Operating System type
  • Operating System version
  • Device Type
  • Language of the website
  • Web browser type
  • Email (in hashed form)

Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.

If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising.

Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Dogable.net’s websites choose to interact with Dogable in ways that require Dogable to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Dogable gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who sign up at Dogable.net to provide a username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Dogable are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Dogable collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Dogable. Dogable does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.

Aggregated Statistics

Dogable may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Dogable may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Dogable does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information

Dogable discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Dogable.net’s behalf or to provide services available at Dogable.net’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Dogable.net’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Dogable will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Dogable discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Dogable believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Dogable, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of an Dogable website and have supplied your email address, Dogable may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Dogable and our products. If you send us a request (for example via email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Dogable takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Dogable uses cookies to help Dogable identify and track visitors, their usage of Dogable website, and their website access preferences. Dogable visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Dogable.net’s websites, with the drawback that certain features of Dogable.net’s websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Business Transfers

If Dogable, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, or in the unlikely event that Dogable goes out of business or enters bankruptcy, user information would be one of the assets that is transferred or acquired by a third party. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Dogable may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

Ads

Ads appearing on any of our websites may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement to compile information about you or others who use your computer. This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Dogable and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.
