Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Creamy Elf Devons collects, uses, discloses, stores, and otherwise processes personal information through this website, our contact and application forms, and related communications about our cattery and placement process.

This Privacy Policy does not govern third-party websites, platforms, or services that maintain their own privacy notices, even where those services are linked from this website or used to support certain website functions.

The categories of personal information we collect depend on how you interact with the site. We collect only the information reasonably necessary for website operations, communications, and application review.

Depending on the form you submit or the preferences you allow, the categories of information may include the following:

• Identifiers and contact details, such as your name, email address, phone number, address, city, state, and ZIP code.
• Inquiry, communication, and application information, such as the contents of your message, household details, pet ownership history, placement preferences, veterinarian information, references, and other information you choose to provide.
• Internet, device, and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device characteristics, pages visited, referring URLs, timestamps, approximate location derived from IP, cookie identifiers, and website interaction data.
• Security, anti-abuse, and technical diagnostic information used to protect forms, prevent misuse, detect failures, and maintain website reliability.

We may collect personal information directly from you when you contact us, complete a form, communicate with us by email, or otherwise provide information voluntarily.

We may also collect information automatically from your browser or device when you use the website, including through cookies, scripts, logs, and similar technologies required for site functionality or enabled through your privacy preferences.

In addition, service providers acting on our behalf may process personal information in connection with hosting, security, cloud media storage, email delivery, analytics, error monitoring, or advertising measurement.

We may use personal information for the following business and operational purposes:

• To respond to inquiries and communicate with prospective homes.
• To review kitten applications, evaluate placement suitability, and maintain records related to breeder operations.
• To provide follow-up communications regarding availability, waitlists, future litters, contracts, pickup or transport coordination, and post-placement support.
• To operate, administer, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and related services.
• To measure traffic, understand site usage, and review campaign or referral performance when optional analytics or advertising tools are enabled.
• To protect our rights, investigate misuse, comply with law, and maintain appropriate administrative records.

We may disclose personal information to service providers, contractors, and vendors that perform services on our behalf and under appropriate instructions. Those services may include website hosting and deployment, email delivery, spam and bot prevention, media storage, authentication, analytics, advertising measurement, session insight tools, and browser error monitoring.

We may also disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to a lawful request, protect safety or property, investigate fraud or misuse, or support a corporate reorganization, sale, transfer, or similar business event.

We do not sell personal information for money. However, certain browser-based advertising or analytics technologies may, depending on applicable law, be characterized as a form of 'sale,' 'sharing,' or targeted advertising. Where those technologies are used, you may manage them through this website's privacy preference controls.

This website uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and, if you permit them, for website analytics, session and UX insights, advertising measurement, and performance monitoring.

Essential functionality remains active because it is required for basic site operation, form security, session integrity, and abuse prevention. Optional categories remain disabled unless and until you enable them.

You may revise or withdraw your optional consent choices at any time by reopening Privacy Preferences from the footer or the floating privacy control made available on the site after a selection has been saved.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including communications, application review, breeder operations, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and recordkeeping. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected.

Certain information may remain in backups, logs, or archival systems until routine deletion or overwrite cycles are completed. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information, but no method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

This website is intended for adults seeking information about or consideration for kitten placement. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the public-facing website.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the website, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

Depending on your jurisdiction and the applicability of the relevant law to our operations, you may have privacy rights relating to access, correction, deletion, or information about certain disclosures or processing practices.

California residents may have rights under California privacy law, including rights related to access, deletion, correction, and certain opt-out choices, to the extent those laws apply to our data practices. Optional analytics and advertising technologies can be managed directly through this website's privacy preferences when they are in use.

To make a privacy-related inquiry or request, please contact us using the contact information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we may limit or decline a request where permitted by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights available to you under applicable law.

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational, technical, legal, or regulatory changes. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the 'Last updated' date.

Your continued use of the website after an updated policy is posted will be subject to the revised version to the extent permitted by law.
