Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 14, 2026
This policy explains what happens to information collected on the Melissa Dog Walking Directory (this website). By using this site, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
- Contact form submissions: your name, email address or phone number, and the content of your message
- Usage data: pages visited, browser type, approximate location based on IP address, and how you arrived at the site
- Cookies: small files stored on your device that help remember basic preferences and support site analytics
How We Use Information
We use the information above to respond to messages sent through the contact form, understand which pages visitors find useful, improve site navigation and performance, and consider business listing requests submitted through the contact form. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Cookies and Analytics
This site may use cookies and analytics tools to understand how visitors use it, in aggregate and without identifying individual visitors by name. Some cookies are essential for basic site functionality, such as remembering your progress through the contact form, while others are optional and used only for analytics. You can disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Some site features may not work as expected if cookies are turned off.
Third-Party Links
This directory links to the websites of dog walking and pet sitting businesses serving Melissa, TX. Once you leave this site through one of those links, the privacy policy of that business applies, not this one. We aren't responsible for the privacy practices of any site we link to.
Data Retention and Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us, though no method of storing or transmitting data online is completely secure. We retain contact form submissions only as long as needed to respond to your message or process a listing request.
Your Choices
You can decline to submit the contact form, adjust your browser's cookie settings, and reach out to us directly if you'd like information you've submitted removed.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised date at the top.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information through this site, contact us and we will remove it.
