Welcome to the Privacy Paw-licy for OurShepherds.com, where two German Shepherds (and their humans) overshare about walks, chewed shoes, and squirrel-related drama. We take privacy as seriously as our dogs take guarding the backyard—so here’s the scoop:

1. What We Sniff Out (Data Collection):

• Emails: If you sign up for our newsletter, we’ll ask for your email. We promise not to bury it in the yard or let the dogs drool on it.
• Comments: Leave a comment? We’ll see your name/email (but only to high-five you for joining the pack).
• Cookies: Not the edible kind (sadly). These digital crumbs help the site work. Our dogs would 100% eat them if they could.

2. Third-Party Squirrels (External Services):

We use tools like Google Analytics to track traffic. Think of them as nosy neighbors peeking over the fence—they mean well, but we can’t control their snack habits.

3. Your Data, Your Rules:

• Fetch Your Data: Want to see what we’ve got on you? Email us! We’ll dig it up faster than a GSD with a bone.
• Delete Like a Chewed Toy: Ask us to erase your data, and we’ll shred it (metaphorically—no actual destruction of devices).

4. Sharing? Only If You’re a Tennis Ball:

We won’t sell, trade, or toss your info to strangers. Unless required by law (or a really persuasive squirrel).

5. Updates:

This policy might get a refresh, like when our dogs discover a new mud puddle. Check back occasionally!

Bark at Us:

Questions? Complaints? Treat suggestions? Email vater@ourshepherds.com —we reply faster than our dogs sprint to the food bowl.

Paws and reflect: This policy isn’t legal advice, just common sense with a side of dog hair. Woof!
