We may also use your information for other purposes disclosed to you when the information is collected.

3. KITTEN APPLICATIONS AND INQUIRIES

Information submitted through a kitten application or inquiry is used primarily to communicate with prospective homes and help us determine whether one of our cats or kittens may be an appropriate match.

Submitting an application does not guarantee approval, placement, availability, reservation, or sale of a kitten or cat.

Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information through general website forms unless we specifically request information that is reasonably necessary for a transaction or placement.

4. PAYMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS

If payments, deposits, or other transactions are accepted through our website or a third-party payment provider, payment information may be processed directly by that provider.

Stellarosa Havana Browns may receive transaction information such as your name, contact information, transaction amount, payment status, and transaction identifier. We may not directly receive or store complete payment-card information when transactions are processed by a third-party payment processor.

Payment providers maintain their own privacy and security practices, and their handling of your information is subject to their respective policies.

5. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

Our website may use cookies, pixels, analytics technologies, and similar tools to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website traffic, improve performance, and measure how visitors interact with our content.

Cookies are small data files stored on your device.

Depending on the technologies used by our website, cookies may include:

Essential Cookies: Necessary for basic website operation and security.

Functional Cookies: Used to remember website preferences or provide enhanced functionality.

Analytics Cookies: Used to understand visitor activity and improve website performance.

Advertising or Marketing Cookies: If implemented, these may be used to measure advertising effectiveness or provide more relevant marketing.

Where required by applicable law, we will request appropriate consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

You may also be able to control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

6. ANALYTICS AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

We may use third-party services for website hosting, analytics, security, forms, email communications, payment processing, website functionality, or other business operations.

These providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services to us.

If our website uses services such as Google Analytics or similar analytics technologies, those services may collect information regarding your device and interactions with our website according to their own privacy policies.

7. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION

We do not disclose personal information to third parties except as reasonably necessary for legitimate business operations or as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy.

Information may be shared with service providers that assist us with functions such as:

  • Website hosting
  • Website maintenance
  • Email services
  • Forms and application processing
  • Analytics
  • Payment processing
  • Security and fraud prevention
  • Professional or administrative services

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to lawful legal requests, protect our rights or property, investigate suspected fraud or misconduct, or protect the safety of our customers, animals, business, or others.

If ownership or control of the business or website changes, information associated with the business may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

8. SALE OR SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Stellarosa Havana Browns does not sell personal information for money.

Certain privacy laws define terms such as “sale,” “share,” or “targeted advertising” more broadly than their ordinary meanings. Depending on the advertising, analytics, or tracking technologies used on our website, some disclosures to third-party technology providers could potentially fall within those definitions.

Where applicable, we will provide privacy choices required by law.

9. DATA RETENTION

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including maintaining business and breeding records, administering contracts or transactions, responding to inquiries, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting our legal rights.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

10. DATA SECURITY

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should therefore exercise appropriate care when transmitting personal information online.

11. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES AND RIGHTS

Depending on where you live and applicable privacy law, you may have certain rights concerning your personal information.

These may include the right to request:

  • Information about personal information collected about you
  • Access to certain personal information
  • Correction of inaccurate information
  • Deletion of certain personal information
  • Information regarding certain disclosures of personal information
  • Opt-out of certain uses or disclosures where applicable
  • Withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent

These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions and eligibility requirements.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain privacy requests.

We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.

12. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE

California residents may have additional rights under applicable California privacy laws.

Depending on whether a particular law applies to Stellarosa Havana Browns and the nature of our data practices, California residents may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, disclosure, and certain uses or disclosures of their personal information.

We may request information reasonably necessary to verify your identity and process your request.

13. DO NOT TRACK AND PRIVACY SIGNALS

Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” settings or other privacy preference mechanisms. There is not necessarily a uniform industry standard for responding to all such signals.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular browser-based opt-out preference signal, we will endeavor to process supported signals as required.

14. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

Our website and services are intended for adults interested in our cattery, cats, kittens, and related services. They are not directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information to us should contact us.

15. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES

Our website may contain links to websites, social-media platforms, registries, payment providers, veterinary resources, or other third-party services that we do not operate.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, availability, or content of third-party websites or services. We encourage visitors to review the privacy policies of third-party services before providing personal information.

16. EMAIL AND COMMUNICATIONS

If you contact Stellarosa Havana Browns, submit an application, join an inquiry or waiting list, or otherwise request information, we may contact you regarding your inquiry, application, kitten availability, reservations, transactions, or related matters.

If we send promotional or marketing email communications, recipients may opt out of those communications using the unsubscribe mechanism provided in the message or by contacting us.

Transactional, administrative, contractual, or service-related communications may still be sent when reasonably necessary.

17. INTERNATIONAL VISITORS

Our website may be accessible from locations outside the United States.

If you access our website from another country and provide personal information, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

Privacy and data-protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from those in your country.
