Privacy Policy

1. Information We May Collect

The information we receive depends on how you interact with Mainely Danes and what information you choose to provide.

Information You Provide

When you contact us, inquire about a puppy, submit a reservation request or communicate with us, you may provide information such as:

• Your name.
• Email address.
• Telephone number.
• Mailing, pickup or delivery information when necessary.
• The puppy you are interested in and its Puppy ID.
• Your preferred delivery or pickup option.
• Information included in messages or questions you send us.
• Other information you voluntarily provide during the inquiry, reservation or puppy-placement process.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, our hosting provider or other technical services used to operate the website may process standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages visited, timestamps and server-log information.

2. How We Use Information

Information may be used for purposes reasonably related to operating Mainely Danes and responding to families interested in our Great Dane puppies.

These purposes may include:

• Responding to puppy inquiries and questions.
• Processing and managing reservation requests.
• Communicating about puppy availability.
• Coordinating approved pickup or delivery arrangements.
• Providing information concerning a puppy, health records, registration or our health guarantee.
• Maintaining records related to inquiries, reservations and puppy placements.
• Operating, maintaining and improving our website.
• Detecting misuse, fraud, spam or security problems.
• Complying with applicable legal obligations.

3. Website Forms and Web3Forms

Some forms on the Mainely Danes website use Web3Forms to deliver information submitted through the website to us.

When you submit one of these forms, the information you enter may be transmitted through that third-party form service so that your inquiry or request can be delivered to Mainely Danes.

Please avoid submitting passwords, financial-account credentials or other information that is not reasonably necessary for your puppy inquiry or reservation request.

4. Payment Information

If payment is required for a puppy reservation or purchase, payment instructions may be provided separately after the appropriate details have been confirmed.

Where a third-party payment provider or financial service is used, information you provide directly to that provider is subject to that provider's own privacy and security practices.

The Mainely Danes website should not be used to send sensitive payment credentials through a general contact or inquiry message.

5. When Information May Be Shared

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to provide requested services or operate the website. Depending on the circumstances, this may include:

• Website hosting, form-processing and technical service providers.
• Delivery or transportation providers when necessary to coordinate an approved puppy delivery.
• Professional advisers or service providers when reasonably necessary.
• Government authorities or other parties when disclosure is required by applicable law or a valid legal process.
• A successor or relevant party in connection with a legitimate business reorganization or transfer.

We do not use this website for the purpose of selling or renting customer contact information to unrelated parties for their independent marketing.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website, hosting environment or services used to operate the website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for functionality, security, performance or basic website operation.

Your browser may allow you to block, limit or delete cookies. Disabling certain technologies may affect the operation of some website features.

7. Data Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, maintaining appropriate reservation or placement records, resolving disputes, protecting the website and satisfying applicable legal or recordkeeping requirements.

Retention periods may therefore vary depending on the type of information and the nature of your interaction with us.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures intended to protect information under our control from unauthorized access, misuse or disclosure.

However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For that reason, visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information through general website forms or email.

9. Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live and the laws applicable to a particular request, you may have certain rights concerning personal information about you.

You may contact Mainely Danes if you would like to ask about personal information you previously submitted, request a correction, or request deletion where appropriate and required by applicable law.

We may need to verify a request before taking action, and certain information may need to be retained when permitted or required for legitimate business, security, recordkeeping or legal purposes.

10. California Privacy Information

Mainely Danes is based in Chula Vista, California. California residents may have privacy rights under applicable California law depending on the circumstances and whether a particular law applies.

If you are a California resident and have a privacy-related request concerning information you submitted to Mainely Danes, you may contact us using the information provided below.

11. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for adults and families seeking information about Great Dane puppies. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13 through our inquiry or reservation forms.

If a parent or guardian believes a child has submitted personal information through the website, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed.

12. Third-Party Websites and Services

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. Their privacy, security and data practices are controlled by those third parties rather than Mainely Danes.

We encourage visitors to review the privacy information provided by any third-party service before providing personal information directly to that service.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, practices or legal requirements change.

When material updates are made, the revised policy may be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically.
