How Dog Haven handles visitor information

This policy explains how DogHaven.co.za handles information. The site is currently a content guide and does not include advertising tags, affiliate tracking, public accounts, or directory submission forms.

Information you send

If you email Dog Haven or use the contact form, your name, email address, message type, subject, message, page/source, and timestamp may be used to respond, review a correction, consider a guide topic, or improve Dog Haven. Contact form submissions are sent by email and are not stored in a public directory or website account. Do not send sensitive medical records unless a qualified veterinary professional has told you it is appropriate.

Spam protection

The contact form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to reduce spam. CAPTCHA verification helps confirm that a real visitor is using the form, and the verification provider may process limited technical information according to its own privacy practices.

Analytics and cookies

Dog Haven uses Google Analytics 4 to understand how the website is used and to improve website performance and content for South African readers. Analytics information may include page visits, interactions, usage information, device and browser information, approximate location, and the source that referred you to DogHaven.co.za. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies, and Google may process analytics data according to its own privacy terms. Sensitive personal information should not intentionally be sent to Dog Haven through analytics.

Future advertising services

DogHaven.co.za does not currently display Google AdSense advertisements. Advertising services such as Google AdSense may be introduced in future, and this Privacy Policy will apply when those services are activated. Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve advertisements, measure advertising performance, prevent fraud, and personalise advertising where permitted and consented to. This policy may be updated before or when advertising is introduced to reflect the services and choices then available.

Your choices

You can use your browser settings to block, limit, or delete cookies. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of a website work. Where DogHaven.co.za provides consent controls, you can use them to make or change your choices. Analytics or advertising preferences may also be available through your browser, device, or the relevant service provider. Advertising personalisation will only be used where it is permitted and, when required, consented to.

Third-party links

Guides may link to official, veterinary, public health, or other relevant websites. Those sites have their own privacy practices.
