This privacy policy explains how Dog Food Selector (dogfoodselector.com) handles personal information when you visit the site or get in touch. We keep collection to a minimum and we do not sell personal information.
Who we are
Dog Food Selector is a UK informational website that publishes guides to help owners understand and compare dog food. For UK data protection law, the site operator is the data controller for personal information collected through this website.
We have not published a postal address or named individual on this page. To ask about your personal information, use the contact page. We will update this policy with formal controller details when they are confirmed.
The information we collect
Information you send us
If you contact us, we receive whatever you choose to include — for example a name, email address and the content of your message. Please do not send payment card details or sensitive information about a pet’s clinical records unless a vet has asked you to share them with that vet directly.
Technical information when you visit
Like most websites, hosting and security systems may record technical logs when pages are requested. That can include an IP address, browser and device type, the pages requested, and the date and time. We use this to keep the site working and secure.
Cookies and analytics
We have not yet confirmed which cookies or analytics tools (if any) run on this site beyond what the hosting platform provides by default. When tools are confirmed, we will update this section with the categories of cookies, their purpose, and how you can manage them. Until then, treat any cookie banner or browser controls as the practical way to limit non-essential cookies if they appear.
How we use information
We use contact messages to reply to enquiries and to improve the accuracy of our guides. We use technical logs for security, troubleshooting and understanding which pages are requested. We do not use personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you.
Lawful bases (UK GDPR)
Where UK GDPR applies, we typically rely on: legitimate interests (running and securing an informational website); and consent where you choose to contact us or where a non-essential cookie tool later requires it. We will refine this list when processors and tools are confirmed.
Who we share information with
We do not sell personal information. Hosting, security and (if enabled later) analytics providers may process technical data as processors on our behalf. We have not listed named processors here because those arrangements are not yet confirmed on this page — we will update when they are. We may disclose information if required by law.
How long we keep information
Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to handle the enquiry and any follow-up. Technical logs are retained according to the hosting provider’s defaults unless we configure a shorter period. We will publish clearer retention periods when tools are confirmed.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to certain processing, and to data portability where applicable. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). To exercise rights in relation to this site, use the contact page.
Children
This site is aimed at adults choosing dog food. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy as the site’s tools and legal details are confirmed. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do.
