Pooch Profits | https://www.poochprofits.com

Last updated: 9 October 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Pooch Profits ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, shares and protects your personal information when you visit https://www.poochprofits.com ("the Website"), subscribe to our emails, download our free resources, buy our products, or click a link or advert that takes you to us.

We are based in the United Kingdom, but our Website and products are available worldwide. By using the Website or subscribing to our emails, you acknowledge that you have read this policy. Please read it carefully.

If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Website or give us your personal information.

2. Who We Are

Pooch Profits is a business that provides information, training, guides and reports to help dog business owners get more clients and sales. We are the "data controller" of the personal information described in this policy, which means we decide how and why it is used.

  • Website: https://www.poochprofits.com

  • Contact email: info@poochprofits.com

  • Location: United Kingdom

When the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 or the EU GDPR applies to you, we process your data in line with those laws.

3. The Information We Collect

3.1 Information you give us

  • Email address and name. When you sign up for a free guide, newsletter or any other opt-in form, we collect your email address and, where asked, your first name.

  • Order and purchase details. If you buy a product from us, we collect your name, email address, billing country and details of what you purchased. We may also collect a billing address where needed for tax or legal reasons.

  • Messages. If you email us or contact us through any form, we keep your message and our reply so we can help you and keep a record of it.

  • Comments, surveys and feedback. If you leave a comment, reply to a survey or send testimonials, we collect what you submit.

3.2 Information collected automatically

  • Usage and device data. Such as your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, time spent on pages and the date and time of your visit.

  • Email interaction data. When you receive our emails, our email service provider records whether you opened them, which links you clicked, and your approximate location based on your IP address. We use this to understand what is useful to subscribers and to improve our emails.

  • Cookies and similar technologies. See section 9 below.

3.3 Information from third parties

We may receive limited information from our payment processors, email service provider, analytics providers and affiliate networks, for example confirmation that a payment was completed.

We do not knowingly collect special category data (such as health, religion or political views) and ask that you do not send it to us.

4. How We Use Your Information and Our Legal Basis

Under UK and EU data protection law, we must have a legal basis for using your personal information.

The table below sets out what we use it for and why.

You may withdraw your consent at any time (see section 10). Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of anything we did before you withdrew it.

5. Email Marketing

When you subscribe to Pooch Profits, you agree to receive emails from us.

Please note:

  • Frequency. We send emails daily, and sometimes more often when we have a special offer, launch or announcement.

  • Content. Our emails include copywriting and marketing advice, stories, educational content, promotions for our own products and services, and recommendations of third-party products where we may earn an affiliate commission.

  • Email service provider. We use an email marketing and autoresponder service (MailerLite) to store your email address, send our emails and track their performance. Your information is shared with this provider only for these purposes.

  • Unsubscribing. Every email contains an unsubscribe link. Click it at any time and you will be removed from our list. You can also email us at info@poochprofits.com and ask to be removed. We will act on unsubscribe requests promptly.

  • Manual review and abuse. We may review sign-ups. We reserve the right to remove, and block from re-subscribing or purchasing, anyone who provides false or fraudulent details, or who uses our emails or products in a way that abuses our services.

  • Transactional emails. Even if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may still send you essential messages relating to a purchase you have made, such as receipts, delivery of your product, and important account or legal notices.

We will never sell your email address to a third party.

6. Affiliate Marketing and Disclosure

Pooch Profits participates in affiliate marketing. This means that some of the links on our Website and in our emails are affiliate links.

If you click one and then buy something, we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

  • To track these referrals, affiliate partners place cookies or similar tracking technologies on your browser or device when you click a link. They may collect information such as your IP address, the pages you visit and whether you complete a purchase.

  • We only recommend products and services we believe may be of genuine value to our audience, but you should always do your own research before buying.

  • Affiliate partners are separate data controllers, and their use of your information is governed by their own privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their practices.

If we participate in the Amazon Associates Programme, the following applies:

As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Pooch Profits is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk and other Amazon sites.

7. Payments

We sell our own digital products and services through the Website. Payments are handled by third-party payment processors. We do not store or collect your full payment card details: that information is provided directly to the payment processor, whose use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. Reputable payment processors comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS).

The payment processors we use may include PayPal and Stripe, or others as our business develops. We will update this policy if we change the way we take payments.

8. Who We Share Your Information With

We only share your information where necessary and never sell it.

We may share it with:

  • Service providers who help us run the business, including our email marketing provider (MailerLite), website and landing page hosting, payment processors, analytics providers, and tools we use to deliver our products and support. They may only use your data to provide services to us.

  • Affiliate partners, but only as described in section 6 and only through cookies and tracking links you click on yourself. We do not hand over our email list to affiliates.

  • Professional advisers, such as accountants and lawyers, where needed.

  • Authorities, where we are required to by law or to protect our rights, safety or property.

  • A buyer or successor, if our business is sold or merged, in which case your information may transfer to the new owner, who must continue to protect it in line with this policy.

9. Cookies and Analytics

Like most websites, we use cookies, which are small text files stored on your device. We use them to make the Website work, to remember your preferences, to understand how it is used, and to track affiliate referrals.

  • Essential cookies keep the Website secure and working properly.

  • Preference cookies remember your settings.

  • Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors find and use the Website. We may use Google Analytics, which collects information such as pages viewed and how you arrived at our site. You can read how Google uses data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

  • Marketing and affiliate cookies are placed by our affiliate partners and any advertising or tracking tools we use, to record clicks and sales.

Where the law requires it, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can block, delete or manage cookies at any time through your browser settings.

Guidance is available at https://www.aboutcookies.org.uk/managing-cookies. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the Website work.

Comments, embedded content and media

If you leave a comment on our Website, we may collect the information in the comment form, plus your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam. Comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. If you upload images, please avoid uploading images containing embedded location (EXIF GPS) data, as visitors may be able to download and extract it.

Pages on our Website may include embedded content from other websites (for example videos or images). This content behaves exactly as if you had visited the other website, and those sites may collect data about you, use cookies and monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

10. Your Rights

If the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies to you, you have the following rights:

  • Access: to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

  • Rectification: to ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.

  • Erasure: to ask us to delete your personal information, in certain circumstances.

  • Restriction: to ask us to limit how we use your information, in certain circumstances.

  • Objection: to object to our processing based on legitimate interests, and to object to direct marketing at any time.

  • Portability: to receive your information in a structured, commonly used format, and to ask us to send it to another organisation where possible.

  • Withdraw consent: to withdraw consent at any time where we rely on it, for example by unsubscribing from our emails.

  • Complain: to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. In the UK this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): https://ico.org.uk, telephone 0303 123 1113. If you are in the EU/EEA, you can contact your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at info@poochprofits.com.

We may ask you to verify your identity before acting on your request. We will respond within one month, and we will not charge a fee unless a request is clearly unfounded or excessive.

We may need to keep some information where the law requires it, or where we need it for legal claims.

Rights for residents of California and other US states

If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request access to or deletion of it, to correct it, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Where affiliate cookies or tracking technologies could be considered "sharing" under these laws, you can limit this by managing your cookies and browser settings. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.

To make a request, email info@poochprofits.com.

11. International Transfers

We are based in the United Kingdom, but we have customers and subscribers worldwide, and some of our service providers (such as our email provider, payment processors and analytics tools) are located in, or process data in, other countries, including the United States and countries within the EEA.

Where your personal information is transferred outside the UK or EEA to a country that does not have an equivalent level of protection, we take steps to make sure it is protected, such as relying on an adequacy decision, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

12. How Long We Keep Your Information

  • Email subscribers: for as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we keep a minimal record (your email address) so that we can honour your request and not email you again. You may ask us to delete this too, but then we cannot guarantee that you will not be re-added if you sign up again.

  • Customers: order and payment records are kept for as long as the law requires for tax and accounting purposes, which is typically at least six years in the UK.

  • Enquiries: emails and messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with your request and for a reasonable period afterwards.

  • Comments and their metadata: retained until you ask us to remove them, so follow-up comments can be recognised and approved automatically.

  • Analytics and cookie data: kept according to the retention settings of the relevant provider, usually between 14 and 26 months.

When we no longer need your information, we delete it or anonymise it.

13. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access and disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to affect your rights, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.

14. Caching

This Website may use caching to give you faster response times and a better experience. Caching may store a temporary copy of pages on display. Cache files are temporary and are not accessed by third parties, except as needed to obtain technical support from the cache provider. Cache files expire on a schedule set by the site administrator.

15. Links to Other Websites

Our Website and emails contain links to websites not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be taken to that site. We strongly advise you to review the privacy policy of every site you visit.

We have no control over, and accept no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies or practices of third-party sites or services.

16. Children's Privacy

Our Website and products are intended for business owners and adults. They are not directed at anyone under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, please contact us at info@poochprofits.com and we will delete it promptly.

17. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law or in how we operate. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

If we make significant changes, we may also notify you by email. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
