If you do not agree with its terms, do not use our Site.

2. Amazon Associates Program Disclosure
Barky Supplies is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
When you click on an Amazon link on our Site and make a purchase, Amazon may collect certain information about you (such as your IP address, browsing activity, and purchase history) in accordance with its own Privacy Policy. We do not control Amazon’s data collection practices.
3. Comments and User-Generated Content
When visitors leave comments on the Site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
4. Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Comment Cookies: If you leave a comment on our Site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
- Login Cookies: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
- Editor Cookies: If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.
5. Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this Site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly the same as if the visitor had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content — including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
6. How We Use Your Information
We may use the information we collect from you to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve our Site.
- Respond to your comments, questions, and requests.
- Monitor and analyze usage trends and preferences.
- Detect, prevent, and address technical or security issues.
- Comply with legal obligations.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our Site (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
8. Your Data Rights
If you have an account on this Site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at: [email protected]
9. Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service (such as Akismet).
10. Third-Party Links
Our Site contains links to third-party websites, including Amazon.com. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal information from a child under 13, we will delete such information from our records.
