Welcome to Woof World (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe experience on our website, available at https://woofworld.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you interact with us.

1. WHO WE ARE

Our website address is https://woofworld.com. Woof World is a platform that connects dog lovers through contests, memberships, merchandise, and charitable initiatives.

2. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

An anonymized hash of your email address may be sent to Gravatar to check if you’re using it. Gravatar’s privacy policy is at https://automattic.com/privacy. Approved comments display your profile picture (if applicable).

  • Session cookies: Temporary cookies for browser compatibility.
  • Editor cookies: Save post ID of edited articles (1-day expiration).

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as intended.

4. EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES. 

Articles or pages may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts). Embedded content behaves as if you visited the third-party site directly. These websites may collect data, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content—especially if you’re logged in to those platforms.

  • Manage accounts and profiles

  • Process payments and orders
  • Improve our services and user experience
  • Send updates, marketing, and promotional content
  • Prevent fraud and ensure site security

You can opt out of marketing emails at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” or contacting us.

6. WHO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH

We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:

  • Service Providers (e.g., hosting, payment processors, email platforms)
  • Sponsors/Partners (with your consent, for co-branded activities)
  • Legal authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights
  • Spam detection services for comment moderation
  • If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security purposes.

7. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR DATA

Comments and related metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and auto-approve future comments.

User profile data (for registered accounts) is stored until you request its deletion. Users can view, edit, or delete their data at any time (excluding usernames).

8. YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR DATA

You may request to:

  • Receive an exported file of your personal data
  • Correct or update your data
  • Delete your personal data (excluding data we must retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes)

To make a request, contact us at support@woofworld.com.

9. DATA SECURITY

We implement industry-standard security measures, including SSL encryption and secure servers. However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your login credentials private.
