Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 1, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how MyBoredDog.com collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit our website, read our content, click links, submit forms, or otherwise interact with us.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

You may provide information directly to us when you:

Contact us through a form or email;
Subscribe to a newsletter;
Comment on content, if comments are enabled;
Request information, guides, downloads, or other materials.

This information may include your name, email address, message content, and any other information you choose to provide.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the website, we may automatically collect certain information through cookies, analytics tools, server logs, and similar technologies.

This may include:

IP address;
Browser type;
Device type;
Operating system;
Referring website;
Pages viewed;
Date and time of visit;
Links clicked;
General location information;
Usage and interaction data.

This information helps us understand how visitors use the website, improve content, troubleshoot technical issues, and evaluate marketing performance.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, and similar tracking technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, measure traffic, analyze performance, and understand how visitors interact with our content.

Cookies are small files placed on your device by websites you visit. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the website function, because naturally the internet could not simply behave like a normal appliance.

We may use third-party tools, such as analytics providers, advertising platforms, affiliate networks, or embedded content providers, that may also place cookies or collect information when you use the website.

3. Amazon Associates Disclosure

MyBoredDog.com participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to allow websites to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

This means that when you click certain links on this website and make a purchase from Amazon, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

We may include affiliate links in articles, product reviews, buying guides, recommendations, comparison pages, emails, or other content. We may receive compensation when you click these links or make purchases through them.

Our participation in affiliate programs does not increase the price you pay. Product availability, prices, shipping terms, return policies, and customer service are handled by Amazon or the relevant third-party seller, not by MyBoredDog.com.

4. Affiliate Links and Product Recommendations

Some links on this website are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission.

We aim to provide honest opinions, recommendations, and information. However, you should do your own research before purchasing any product. Product details, pricing, availability, reviews, and specifications may change without notice.

Where practical, affiliate disclosures should also appear near affiliate links or product recommendations so readers can see them before or at the time they click.

5. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

Operate and maintain the website;
Respond to inquiries;
Send newsletters or updates, if you subscribe;
Improve website content, layout, and performance;
Analyze traffic and usage trends;
Monitor affiliate link performance;
Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security issues;
Comply with legal obligations;
Enforce website terms and policies.

6. Email Communications

If you subscribe to our email list or otherwise provide your email address, we may use it to send newsletters, updates, product recommendations, affiliate content, or other information related to the website.

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails.

We do not want to send unwanted emails. The world has suffered enough.

7. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites, including Amazon, product manufacturers, retailers, advertisers, affiliate partners, social media platforms, and other external websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, policies, content, products, or services of third-party websites. When you click a third-party link, your activity is governed by that third party’s policies.

You should review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

8. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party service providers to help operate the website, analyze traffic, send emails, manage affiliate links, host content, prevent spam, or improve performance.

These third parties may collect, process, or store information according to their own privacy policies.

Examples may include:

Website hosting providers;
Analytics providers;
Email marketing platforms;
Affiliate networks, including Amazon Associates;
Advertising networks;
Spam prevention tools;
Security tools;
Payment processors, if payments are ever added.

9. Advertising and Analytics

We may use analytics and advertising tools to understand website traffic, improve content, and measure performance. These tools may use cookies or similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity.

Depending on the tools used, third parties may use collected information to provide measurement services, personalize ads, or analyze user behavior across websites.

You may be able to manage certain advertising preferences through your browser settings, device settings, or industry opt-out tools.

10. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary sense of directly exchanging your personal information for money.

We may share information with:

Service providers who help us operate the website;
Analytics, hosting, email, advertising, and security vendors;
Affiliate partners, as needed to track referrals and commissions;
Legal authorities, if required by law;
Successors or buyers in connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of website assets.

Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain advertising, analytics, or tracking activities. If applicable, you may have rights to opt out of such activities.

11. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

For example, we may retain contact form submissions, email subscription records, analytics data, affiliate tracking records, and business records for legitimate operational, legal, tax, or compliance purposes.

12. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

Request access to personal information we hold about you;
Request correction of inaccurate information;
Request deletion of certain personal information;
Opt out of certain marketing communications;
Opt out of certain data sharing or targeted advertising, where applicable;
Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, if applicable.

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

13. Children’s Privacy

This website is not intended for children under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us, and we will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

14. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no website, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure.

You use the website at your own risk, because apparently even in 2026 “reasonable security” is still the best civilization can promise.

15. International Visitors

This website is operated from the United States. If you access the website from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

By using the website, you understand that your information may be processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.

Your continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
