What data we collect and why
We only collect data that is necessary to run this site and understand how visitors use it.
- Usage data — pages visited, time on page, browser type. Collected via Google Analytics to help us improve the site.
- Affiliate click data — when you click a product link, the affiliate network records that click to track referrals. We do not receive your name or purchase details, only that a click occurred.
We do not collect your name, email address, or any other information that identifies you directly — unless you choose to contact us.
Legal basis
Under the GDPR (Article 6), we process data based on:
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for analytics and affiliate tracking cookies. You give this consent when you click “Accept” in the cookie banner. You can withdraw it at any time.
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) — for technical cookies that are strictly necessary to make the site work. These do not require consent.
Cookies we use
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes unique visitors | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | Session state | 2 years |
| cookie-consent | tailormydog.com | Stores your cookie preference | Until cleared |

Data transfers outside the EU
Google Analytics transfers data to Google LLC, which is based in the United States. Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission as the legal basis for this transfer. By accepting analytics cookies, you agree to this transfer.
Amazon and Chewy affiliate tracking may also process data in the United States. Their privacy policies apply to data they collect through their tracking links.
How long we keep your data
- Google Analytics data: 14 months (set in our GA configuration).
- Affiliate click data: retained per the affiliate program's own policy (typically 90 days).
- Emails you send us: kept for as long as needed to respond, then deleted.
Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access — ask us what data we hold about you.
- Erasure — ask us to delete your data.
- Portability — ask for a copy of your data in a readable format.
- Object — object to processing based on legitimate interest.
- Withdraw consent — you can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or using browser cookie settings.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@tailormydog.com. We will respond within 30 days.
If you feel we have not handled your request correctly, you have the right to file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) at autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl.
Third parties
We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes. The only third parties who may receive data are Google Analytics and affiliate networks, as described above.
