Privacy Policy & Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure

Big Dog Golden Years is reader-supported. We may earn a commission from purchases made through links on this site, at no extra cost to you. This never affects what we choose to recommend.

As an Amazon Associate and Chewy affiliate, and through insurance-comparison partnerships, we earn from qualifying purchases and sign-ups. Affiliate links are marked with a note in the surrounding text or table where they appear.

Advertising

This site displays advertising, including through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. See our Cookie Notice for what this site currently sets versus what third parties like these may set.

Information We Collect

Here's what this site actually collects or has access to:

• Advertising cookies via Google AdSense: described in the Advertising section above and in our Cookie Notice.
• Server/hosting logs: our hosting provider automatically logs basic technical data for every visit (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) for security and reliability purposes, as essentially every web host does.
• Information you send us directly: if you email us, we receive whatever you include in that message so we can reply.
• No accounts or payments on this site: this site doesn't offer account creation, and doesn't process payments — any purchase happens on a retailer's own site, under that retailer's own privacy policy.

We do not currently run Google Analytics or any other analytics or tracking tool beyond what's described here.

Your Choices & Rights

You can control cookies through your browser and opt out of personalized advertising as described in our Cookie Notice. Depending on where you live (for example, California residents under the CCPA/CPRA, or EU/UK residents under the GDPR), you may have additional rights to know, access, or delete personal information we hold about you. Since this site currently collects very little beyond standard server logs, most requests can be answered directly once a dedicated contact email is added here.

Children's Privacy

This site is intended for a general, adult audience (dog owners) and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please reach out once a dedicated contact email is added here and we'll remove it.

Medical Content Disclaimer

Health and wellness content on this site is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always consult a licensed veterinarian with questions about your dog's health.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site, its tools, and applicable law evolve. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision. See also our Legal Notice for site-operator details and terms of use.

A dedicated contact email for this policy will be added here shortly.
