Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 19, 2026 • Last Updated July 19, 2026

Coydog respects the privacy of its readers, subscribers, clients, and visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit Coydog, contact Coydog, subscribe to an email list, use Coydog Wellness services, or follow a link to another website.

For this policy, “Coydog” includes the Coydog Blog, Coydog Wellness, and related pages and resources hosted at coydogblog.com.

Information you provide voluntarily

Coydog may collect information that you choose to provide, including:

  • Your name and email address
  • Information submitted through a contact, inquiry, booking, or feedback form
  • Newsletter subscription information
  • Comments or other content you choose to post publicly
  • Information about your pet that you provide when requesting services or guidance
  • Communications you send by email or through another contact method
  • Transaction-related information supplied when purchasing a Coydog product or service

Please avoid submitting information that is unnecessary for your request, particularly highly sensitive personal or financial information.

Coydog does not directly collect or store complete payment-card or bank-account details through this website. Payments handled through an outside payment provider are subject to that provider’s own privacy and security practices.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, Coydog’s hosting provider, WordPress installation, security tools, analytics or site-statistics services, and other website technologies may automatically receive limited technical information, such as:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser and device type
  • Operating system
  • Approximate location derived from an IP address
  • Referring website
  • Pages viewed
  • Date, time, and duration of a visit
  • Links clicked
  • Information used to identify errors, spam, abuse, or security threats

This information may be used in aggregated or limited form to understand how the website is used, maintain its security and performance, identify technical problems, and improve Coydog’s content.

How information is used

Coydog may use collected information to:

  • Respond to questions and requests
  • Provide requested services or resources
  • Process and maintain service or product records
  • Deliver newsletters and other communications you requested
  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website
  • Understand which content is helpful to readers
  • Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and technical problems
  • Maintain appropriate business, tax, and legal records
  • Comply with applicable laws and enforce website policies
  • Protect the rights, safety, and property of Coydog, its visitors, and others

Coydog does not use information submitted for one purpose to send unrelated marketing communications without an appropriate basis or permission.

Email subscriptions

Coydog uses MailerLite to manage email subscriptions and send newsletters or requested resources. When you subscribe, information such as your name, email address, subscription status, and interaction with emails may be processed by MailerLite.

You may unsubscribe at any time by using the link provided in an email. Unsubscribing stops future marketing messages, although limited records may be retained when necessary to document your preference or meet legal obligations.

MailerLite processes information according to its own privacy policy and service terms.

Contact forms, spam protection, and reCAPTCHA

Information submitted through a contact or inquiry form is used to respond to the message and provide the requested assistance.

Coydog may use automated spam-prevention and security services, including Google reCAPTCHA. These services may collect device, browser, cookie, and interaction information to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated abuse. Use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files or pieces of information that a website or service may store in your browser. Coydog and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Remember website preferences
  • Maintain basic website functions
  • Measure traffic and content performance
  • Protect forms and the website from spam or abuse
  • Support embedded content and social-sharing features
  • Track referrals through properly disclosed affiliate links

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how certain features work.

If Coydog presents a cookie or consent-management tool, you may use it to manage the categories of technology made available through that tool. Browser-based privacy signals and controls may also affect third-party services, depending on the service and applicable law.

Affiliate links and Amazon

Coydog participates in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Affiliate links contain tracking information that enables the relevant company to determine that a visitor arrived through Coydog and whether an eligible transaction occurred.

When you click an Amazon affiliate link, Amazon and its service providers may collect information under Amazon’s own Privacy Notice, cookie practices, and terms. Coydog may receive reporting information such as clicks, ordered items, and commission totals, but does not receive your Amazon password, complete payment details, or a complete record of your Amazon account activity.

For more information about Coydog’s financial relationships, please read the Affiliate Disclosure.

Embedded content and social features

Articles may include embedded videos, images, maps, audio, social-media content, sharing tools, or other material supplied by outside websites. Embedded content may behave as though you visited the providing website directly.

Those providers may collect information, use cookies, or track interactions according to their own policies, particularly if you are logged into an account with that provider. Coydog does not control the privacy practices of these outside services.

Links to other websites

Coydog contains links to outside websites for sources, further reading, recommended products, professional resources, shops, payment providers, and other purposes.

Following an outside link means that the other website’s privacy policy and terms apply. A link does not give Coydog control over that website’s content, security, data collection, or business practices.

Purchases and outside platforms

Coydog may offer products or accept payments through outside services such as Gumroad, PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, or another provider identified at the time of the transaction.

Those companies process information under their own privacy policies. Coydog may receive information necessary to confirm or fulfill a purchase, such as a customer’s name, email address, selected product or service, payment status, and transaction identifier. Coydog generally does not receive the customer’s complete financial-account credentials.

Coydog Wellness inquiries and records

If you contact Coydog Wellness, you may choose to provide information about yourself, your pet, your goals, and relevant circumstances. That information is used to evaluate and respond to your inquiry, provide an agreed service, prepare related materials, and maintain appropriate service records.

Please provide only information relevant to the requested service. Coydog Wellness is not a medical provider or emergency service, and its website forms should not be used to submit urgent veterinary or human-health information.

Coydog does not publish identifying client information, private communications, photographs, testimonials, or case details without permission, except when disclosure is legally required or necessary to address fraud, safety, or a serious threat.

Comments and public submissions

If comments are enabled, information you post in a public comment may be visible to anyone. Do not include private contact information or other sensitive details in a public submission.

WordPress and its spam-prevention tools may collect information such as an IP address, browser information, email address, and comment content to identify spam and maintain the discussion.

Coydog may moderate, edit, decline, or remove comments in accordance with its community and website policies.

When contacting Coydog Blog by email or contact form to suggest post topics or ask questions that could become content, you are notified and given options. Please indicate if you wish to be anonymous or go by a name of your choosing, as well as any other details you may wish anonymized or omitted, if Coydog does include your question or message to any degree in a future article.

When information may be shared

Coydog may share limited information with service providers that help operate the website and business, including providers of:

  • Website hosting and maintenance
  • Email delivery
  • Forms and spam prevention
  • Analytics and site statistics
  • Payment processing and digital-product delivery
  • Affiliate tracking
  • Data storage and security
  • Professional accounting, technical, or legal assistance

These providers receive information appropriate to their function and operate under their own terms, contracts, and privacy obligations.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate fraud or abuse, protect someone’s safety, or defend Coydog’s legal rights.

Coydog does not sell its mailing list or directly sell readers’ contact information for money.

Data retention

Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, preventing abuse, and meeting tax, accounting, contractual, or legal obligations.

Retention periods differ by type of information:

  • Newsletter information may remain until you unsubscribe or request deletion, subject to limited suppression records
  • Contact messages may be retained while an inquiry remains relevant
  • Client and transaction records may be retained for appropriate business and legal recordkeeping
  • Comments may remain while the associated content is published
  • Technical logs may be retained according to the schedules of Coydog’s hosting, security, and analytics providers

Information no longer reasonably needed may be deleted, anonymized, or securely archived where appropriate.

Data security

Coydog takes reasonable measures to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or loss. However, no website, email system, transmission method, or storage service can be guaranteed completely secure.

Please do not send Social Security numbers, complete financial-account details, passwords, or similarly sensitive information through ordinary email or website forms.

Your choices and privacy requests

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal information, which can include requesting:

  • Access to information Coydog maintains about you
  • Correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion of certain information
  • Withdrawal of consent
  • A copy of information you provided
  • Information about how your data has been used or shared

These rights may be subject to reasonable identity verification and legal exceptions. For example, Coydog may need to retain transaction or tax records even after receiving a deletion request.

To make a privacy request, contact [email protected]. Coydog will respond within a reasonable period and as required by applicable law.

You may also:

  • Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in each message
  • Adjust your browser’s cookie settings
  • Decline to submit optional information
  • Avoid using affiliate links
  • Contact an outside service directly concerning information it controls

Children’s privacy

Coydog’s content is written for a general audience interested in animals and is not directed specifically to children under 13. Coydog does not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13 without appropriate parental consent.

A parent or guardian who believes that a child has submitted personal information should contact Coydog so the information can be reviewed and, when appropriate, deleted.

* Coydog content is written with those over the age of 13-specifically, adult pet guardians-in mind. The effort to keep Coydog a reasonably comfortable place for all, as well as the topic of animals and their care, might attract younger readers. Coydog is not marketed towards, or in areas frequented by audiences under the age of 13. Not all Coydog discussions, subject matter, language, or comments and interaction on posts are appropriate for younger audiences without parental guidance. We ask that parents help us protect the pet guardians of the future by monitoring their children’s online activities.

International visitors

Coydog is operated from Oklahoma, United States. If you visit from another country, information may be processed or stored in the United States or in other locations used by Coydog’s service providers.

Privacy protections and government-access rules may differ from those in your country. Where applicable law provides additional rights, you may contact Coydog to exercise them.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when Coydog’s services, website tools, legal obligations, or information practices change. The revised policy will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.

Material changes may also be communicated through the website or another reasonable method when appropriate.
