AdoptLearnLove is operated by Taciturn Studios LLC. This page explains what we collect, how cookies and advertising work on this site, and how to reach us. Privacy questions go to privacy@adoptlearnlove.com. Public support is info@taciturnstudios.com. For support, contact The AdoptLearnLove team.
1. Information we collect
We collect information you give us directly: name and email when you subscribe, purchase, sign in with a magic link, or send a contact message. We also collect limited technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages viewed so we can run the site, prevent abuse, and understand which guides help adopters.
2. How we use information
We use your information to deliver downloads after Stripe confirms payment, send newsletters you asked for, answer support mail, and improve the guides. We do not sell personal information.
3. Payments
Card payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers. See Stripe’s privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
This site uses cookies and local storage for three jobs:
- Essential: keeping you signed in after a magic-link login and remembering a cookie notice you already dismissed.
- Analytics: optional first-party or Umami-style page counts so we can see which articles are useful. These cookies are not required to read the guides.
- Advertising: Google AdSense and its partners set cookies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure clicks. These cookies may collect information about your visits to this site and other sites.
A short cookie notice appears after you scroll so the first paint of the page is not blocked. You can also control cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may hide ads or require you to sign in again.
5. Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense (publisher ca-pub-1051825252184436) to display advertising on content pages such as the blog and individual articles. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party cookies at aboutads.info/choices.
Our authorized digital sellers file is published at /ads.txt.
6. Amazon Associates
AdoptLearnLove is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. Product links on this site use the associate tag seperts-20 only. We may earn a commission if you buy through those links, at no extra cost to you. Amazon’s privacy practices are described at amazon.com/privacy.
7. AI chat assistant
If you use the optional on-site chat assistant, your messages are sent to our language-model vendor to generate a reply. We may keep transcripts to improve answers. Do not send payment card numbers or passwords in chat. You can request deletion of a transcript by emailing info@taciturnstudios.com.
8. Data retention and your rights
We keep purchase records as long as needed for tax, fulfillment, and fraud prevention. Newsletter addresses stay until you unsubscribe. Depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we hold. Email info@taciturnstudios.com to exercise those rights.
9. Children
This site is written for adults considering dog adoption. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
