Owen-a-Doodle Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters deeply to us — because you’re more than a customer, you’re part of the Owen-a-Doodle family. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information, both online (like through our website or Facebook page) and offline (like puppy applications, deposits, and visits to our property).

We will NEVER sell your information.
We will NEVER spam you.
You can ALWAYS opt out of emails or messages by letting us know.
We promise never to do anything strange with your data — only what’s needed to care for our puppies, communicate with you, and improve your experience.
