Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 2, 2026

At Our Large Dogs, we care about dogs, the people who love them, and the trust you place in the information you find here.

This Privacy Policy explains how Our Large Dogs (“Our Large Dogs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you visit ourlargedogs.com (the “Website”), read our articles and guides, interact with our content, contact us, or otherwise use the Website.

Our Large Dogs is a U.S.-focused website providing information, articles, guides, and other content for people interested in large dogs and responsible dog ownership.

We have written this policy in plain language because we believe you should understand what happens to information connected with your visit.

Depending on the interaction, this may include your name, email address, and the information contained in your message or submission.

We only ask you to provide information that is reasonably necessary for the particular interaction.

We do not collect information simply because we can. Our goal is to collect and use information that is reasonably useful for operating and improving the Website.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Large Dogs uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files that a website may store on your device. They allow websites to remember information, understand how visitors use a site, and provide certain functionality.

We may use cookies for purposes such as:

• Keeping the Website functioning
• Remembering certain preferences
• Understanding how visitors navigate the Website
• Measuring article and Website performance
• Understanding traffic sources
• Improving our content and user experience
• Supporting advertising or other monetization features, where applicable

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that operate on or support parts of the Website.

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some browsers also allow you to block certain types of cookies.

If you disable cookies, some Website features may not function as intended.

Analytics

This site uses cookies and analytics to understand how visitors use our content so we can improve it.

Analytics may help us understand questions such as:

• Which articles are being read?
• Which topics are most useful to our audience?
• How visitors find our Website
• Which pages visitors move between
• How long visitors generally spend with our content

Analytics providers may receive technical and usage information associated with your visit.

Where applicable law requires consent before certain analytics technologies are used, we will provide the appropriate choice or consent mechanism.

Advertising and Monetization

Our Large Dogs may use advertising, sponsorships, affiliate relationships, or other forms of website monetization.

If advertising or affiliate technology is used on the Website, third-party companies may use cookies, pixels, or similar technologies to recognize a browser or device, measure advertising performance, understand interactions with advertisements, or provide advertising that may be more relevant to a visitor.

The information practices of those third parties are governed by their own privacy policies.

Where applicable law gives you the right to opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information, we will provide the applicable opt-out mechanism.

Affiliate Links

Some articles or pages on Our Large Dogs may contain links to products, services, retailers, or other third-party websites.

Some of these links may be affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and make a qualifying purchase or take another qualifying action, Our Large Dogs may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate partners may use cookies or similar technologies to determine that a visitor arrived through a particular link.

The use of an affiliate link does not change the price you pay unless otherwise stated.

Any affiliate relationship does not give the affiliate partner access to information beyond what is reasonably necessary for tracking and processing the applicable referral or transaction.

Information We Share

We do not sell your personal information simply as a source of revenue.

We may, however, disclose or make information available to third parties when reasonably necessary to operate Our Large Dogs.

This may include service providers that help us with:

• Website hosting
• Website security
• Analytics
• Email delivery
• Newsletter management
• Spam prevention
• Website performance
• Technical support
• Advertising
• Affiliate tracking
• Other Website functionality

These providers may process information on our behalf as part of the services they provide.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with a legal obligation
• Respond to a valid legal process or governmental request
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of Our Large Dogs, our visitors, or others
• Investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity
• Enforce our policies or agreements
• Protect or defend our legal rights

If Our Large Dogs or substantially all of its assets is acquired, merged, reorganized, or transferred to another entity, information associated with the Website may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Third-Party Websites

Our articles may contain links to websites operated by other companies or organizations.

For example, a page may link to a retailer, product manufacturer, veterinary resource, social media platform, dog organization, or other external website.

Once you leave Our Large Dogs, the privacy practices of that third-party website apply.

We do not control and are not responsible for how third-party websites collect, use, store, or protect information.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information.

Social Media and Embedded Content

Our Large Dogs may link to or include content from social media platforms and other third-party services.

Examples may include social media posts, videos, widgets, sharing tools, or other embedded content.

Depending on how those features work, the third-party provider may receive information about your visit or interaction.

Your interaction with those services is governed by the privacy policy of the relevant third party.

Email Communications

If you voluntarily provide your email address to receive communications from Our Large Dogs, we may use it to send the communications you requested.

These communications may include new articles, dog-related information, updates, announcements, or other content relevant to Our Large Dogs.

You can unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in the email.

Unsubscribing from marketing communications does not necessarily prevent us from responding to a message you personally sent to us or communicating with you about a matter you initiated.

Public Comments and Submissions

If Our Large Dogs allows comments, reviews, questions, photos, stories, or other user-submitted content, information that you choose to publish publicly may be visible to other visitors.

Do not include personal information in a public submission that you do not want others to see.

We may moderate, remove, or decline to publish submissions at our discretion and where permitted by applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

For example, we may retain correspondence so that we can maintain a record of communications, respond to follow-up questions, resolve disputes, or protect our legal interests.

Analytics and technical information may be retained according to the settings and retention practices of the relevant analytics or technology provider.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, it may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure.

For that reason, while we work to protect information appropriately, we cannot guarantee that information transmitted to or through the Website will always be completely secure.

Children’s Privacy

Our Large Dogs is intended for a general audience and is not directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at socials@ourlargedogs.com.

If we become aware that we have knowingly collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Your U.S. Privacy Rights

Privacy laws in several U.S. states give residents certain rights regarding their personal information.

Depending on where you live and whether a particular law applies to Our Large Dogs, you may have rights that include:

• The right to know or access certain personal information
• The right to request correction of inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of personal information
• The right to obtain a portable copy of certain information
• The right to opt out of certain targeted advertising
• The right to opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information
• The right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, where applicable
• The right to appeal certain privacy-request decisions
• The right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights

Not all rights apply in every state, and certain legal exceptions may apply.

California Residents

If you are a California resident and the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CCPA”), applies to Our Large Dogs, you may have additional privacy rights.

Depending on the circumstances, these rights may include:

• The right to know what categories of personal information we collect
• The right to know the purposes for which personal information is collected or used
• The right to know the categories of sources from which personal information is collected
• The right to know the categories of third parties with whom personal information is disclosed
• The right to access certain personal information
• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information
• The right to request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions
• The right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, where applicable
• The right to limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, where applicable
• The right to receive equal treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights

California residents may also use recognized universal opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, where applicable.

If Our Large Dogs is subject to a specific CCPA opt-out requirement, the applicable opt-out mechanism will be made available as required by law. California’s current rules require covered businesses subject to sale/sharing opt-out requirements to provide an appropriate website mechanism and recognize applicable opt-out preference signals.

Other State Privacy Rights

Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws may have additional rights depending on the law applicable to them and whether Our Large Dogs is subject to that law.

We intend to comply with applicable state privacy requirements and will provide legally required rights and choices to eligible residents.

How to Make a Privacy Request

If you have a question about how we handle your information or believe you have a privacy right that you would like to exercise, contact us at:

socials@ourlargedogs.com

Please tell us what you are requesting and provide enough information for us to understand and respond to your request.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. The verification information we request will depend on the nature of your request and the requirements of applicable law.

We will respond to valid privacy requests within the time period required by applicable law.

If applicable law gives you a right to appeal a decision concerning your privacy request, we will provide information about how to do so in our response.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration.

However, certain advertising, analytics, affiliate, or tracking technologies may be treated as “sharing,” targeted advertising, or another regulated activity under certain state privacy laws.

If applicable law gives you the right to opt out of such activity, you may exercise that right using the privacy choices or opt-out mechanism we make available.

We will also honor recognized universal opt-out signals where required by applicable law.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting.

There is currently no universal technical standard requiring websites to respond to these signals in the same way.

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a particular privacy preference signal, we will do so in accordance with that law.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our Website, technology, business practices, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically so you remain aware of how we handle information.
