Last Updated: November 11, 2025

At Pawz and Purz Maine Coons, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data in accordance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and other applicable Canadian privacy laws.

🐾 1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide our services and communicate with you. This may include:

• Contact information: your name, email address, phone number, and home address (e.g., for kitten applications, deposits, or delivery).
• Payment details: when you place a deposit or purchase a kitten (processed securely through trusted third-party platforms — we do not store payment card information).
• Communications: messages, emails, or forms submitted through our website.
• Non-identifiable information: your IP address, browser type, and usage data collected through cookies or analytics tools to improve site performance.

🧡 2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Respond to inquiries and process kitten applications.
• Manage reservations, deposits, and waitlist placements.
• Send litter updates, newsletters, or adoption information (with your consent).
• Provide post-adoption support and maintain breeder–buyer communication.
• Comply with TICA registration and Canadian record-keeping requirements.
• Improve our website, customer experience, and marketing reach.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

🔒 3. Consent

By providing your personal information through our website, email, or forms, you consent to its collection and use as outlined in this policy. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us directly (see Section 8).

📊 4. Cookies and Analytics

Our website uses cookies and analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand visitor behaviour and improve functionality. Cookies collect non-identifiable information and can be disabled in your browser settings at any time.

🛡️ 5. How We Protect Your Information

We use secure servers, encrypted data transmission, and limited employee access to protect your information from unauthorized use or disclosure. When payments are processed, transactions occur through encrypted third-party services (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, or GoDaddy Payments).

📁 6. How Long We Keep Your Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for business, legal, or accounting purposes. When it’s no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

🌎 7. Third-Party Services

Our website may include links to third-party services (e.g., social media, payment processors, TICA registration, or transport providers). We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so we encourage you to review their policies.
