Purchases and pre-orders are made in our online shop at shop.italianpaws.com, which is run on Shopify and covered by its own Shop Privacy Policy. That policy explains the order, payment and shipping information collected there.
We use a strictly necessary local storage entry to remember your cookie preference — this does not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive because the site cannot otherwise remember your choice.
We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies. If we add any in future (for example, website analytics), we will update this policy and ask for your consent before they are set, via the banner shown on the site.
All fonts and other design assets on this site are hosted directly by us — none are loaded from a third-party service, so nothing about your visit is shared with a font or design provider.
We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.
Italian Paws LLC is based in the United States. Where a service provider processes data outside your own region, they do so under their own data protection safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses, where applicable). We recommend confirming the specifics here with a qualified privacy lawyer before launch, particularly for visitors in the EU/EEA.
We keep contact form submissions for as long as needed to handle your enquiry, and email sign-up data until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security purposes and then deleted.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@italianpaws.com or by mail at the address in section 12.
This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.
We may update this policy as the site and business evolve. The "last updated" date at the top will always reflect the latest version.
You can change your cookie choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings, which will show the consent banner again on your next visit.
