By accessing or using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies; however, if you do so, some parts of our Site may not function properly. For more information about managing cookies, visit your browser's help documentation or allaboutcookies.org.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
By submitting your email address through our opt-in form or otherwise subscribing to our list, you consent to receive email communications from Pet First Aid Guide, including our newsletter, pet safety tips, product recommendations, and promotional content. Because Pet First Aid Guide is one of several websites and brands under common ownership, you may also receive communications sent on behalf of our other websites or affiliated businesses.
Every marketing email we send includes a functional unsubscribe link. You may opt out of future marketing emails at any time by clicking that link or by contacting us at hello@petfirstaidguide.com. Even after you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may still send you non-promotional communications, such as a direct response to a request you have made.
Our Content may include affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you click a link and purchase a product or service, at no additional cost to you. See our Disclaimer for more information about our affiliate relationships.
We may also participate in interest-based advertising, which uses information about your activity on our Site and other websites over time to deliver advertising tailored to your interests. You can learn more, and opt out of participating providers' use of your information for this purpose, by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page at optout.aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page at optout.networkadvertising.org.
Our Site and Content may contain links to third-party websites, including veterinary resources, poison control organizations, and affiliate product pages. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website you visit.
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you unsubscribe from our email list, we will retain a record sufficient to honor your opt-out request and comply with applicable law.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and take other steps as required by applicable law.
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at hello@petfirstaidguide.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law and may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information, including the rights described in Section 11 above. Under California's "Shine the Light" law, California residents may also request information once per year about our disclosure of certain categories of personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. To the extent our use of cookies or advertising technologies is considered a "share" of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA, you may opt out by contacting us at hello@petfirstaidguide.com or through the cookie and advertising opt-out tools described in Sections 4 and 7 above. We also honor opt-out preference signals, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC), where required by applicable law.
Nevada law (NRS 603A) permits Nevada residents to opt out of the sale of certain categories of personal information that a website operator has collected or will collect about them. We do not currently sell personal information as defined under Nevada law. If this changes, Nevada residents may submit a verified request to opt out by contacting us at hello@petfirstaidguide.com.
If you are a resident of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, Montana, or another state with its own comprehensive privacy law, you may have rights similar to those described in Section 11 above, including the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information, targeted advertising, or certain kinds of profiling. Some of these laws also give you the right to appeal a decision we make in response to your request. To exercise any of these rights, or to appeal a decision, please contact us at hello@petfirstaidguide.com.
Our Services are not directed at, and are not intended for use by, children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us at hello@petfirstaidguide.com so that we can delete it.
Our Services are hosted in, and intended for use by, individuals located in the United States. If you access our Services from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. By using our Services, you consent to this transfer.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is not yet an accepted industry standard for how businesses should respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of our Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
