Service providers
Information may be processed by services that help operate Hoof Care 101, including the website host, WordPress and its plugins, WPForms, MailerLite, email providers, security tools, analytics providers and advertising services. These providers have their own privacy practices and may process information in Canada, the United States or other countries.
Newsletter choices
Newsletter messages include an unsubscribe option. You can unsubscribe at any time. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not prevent Hoof Care 101 from responding to a separate service request you have made.
Cookies and advertising
Cookies may remember preferences, help pages work correctly, measure website use or support relevant advertising. Browser settings can be used to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect some website features. Where a consent tool is presented, you may use it to adjust available choices.
Sharing and sale of information
Hoof Care 101 does not sell personal contact information. Information may be shared with service providers as described above, when you ask for it to be shared, to protect people or the website, or when disclosure is required by law.
Retention and security
Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, for business records, or as required by law. Reasonable steps are taken to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
