Privacy Policy

Pawventure Essentials ("we", "us", "our") operates the website https://pawventureessentials.com (the "Site"). You can reach us at anish.sudarsan@gmail.com or by post at: 6910 Ellorie Drive · Dawsonville, GA, 30534 · United States.

• Order data: name, shipping address, phone, email, items purchased, total paid.
• Payment data: processed entirely by Stripe — we never see or store your card number. We only see a confirmation that payment succeeded.
• Analytics: anonymous usage data via Google Analytics / Google Ads (pages visited, device type, approximate location, referral source).
• Cookies: small files stored in your browser for session, cart, and analytics purposes. You can block these in your browser settings; some site features may stop working.

• Fulfilling and shipping your order (the main reason).
• Sending order confirmation, shipping, and (rarely) account-related emails.
• Preventing fraud and abuse.
• Measuring marketing effectiveness so we can show fewer, better ads.
• Improving the website experience.

We only share data with third parties that help us run the business:

• Stripe — payment processing (PCI-compliant, never sees your data we keep)
• Shipping carriers (USPS, Canada Post, etc.) — only the shipping address and your name
• Google Analytics / Google Ads — aggregated, anonymous traffic data; hashed email for conversion matching only
• Hosting providers — server logs strictly for operational and security purposes

We never sell your personal data. Ever.

Order records: 7 years (required for tax/accounting). Analytics data: 14 months (Google Analytics default). Marketing email opt-ins: until you unsubscribe.

You can ask us to:

• Access a copy of the data we hold about you
• Correct anything inaccurate
• Delete your data (where we're legally allowed — tax records have to be retained)
• Opt out of marketing communications
• Export your data in a machine-readable format (GDPR / CCPA portability)

Email anish.sudarsan@gmail.com and we'll respond within 30 days. EU/UK customers: you have additional rights under GDPR and can complain to your local data protection authority. California customers: you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA — same email address, we'll get back to you within 45 days.

We use first-party cookies for the shopping cart and admin sessions. We use Google's gtag.js (Google Ads conversion tracking and optionally Google Analytics) for measurement. We do not use cross-site advertising trackers beyond what's needed to measure ad performance.

All traffic is encrypted via HTTPS. Payment data flows directly from your browser to Stripe — we never touch it. Admin access is gated behind authentication.

We don't knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with data, email us and we'll delete it.

We may update this page from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent change. Material changes will be announced via a banner on the site or by email if you have an open order.
