Privacy Policy for aekennels.info
The claim stays put. The evidence keeps moving.
This Privacy Policy describes how A&E Kennels LLC handles personal data on aekennels.info. The operator is A&E Kennels LLC, 28 Geary St, Suite 650, San Francisco, CA 94108, email [email protected]. This document covers data collected through contact messages and standard site operation. It does not cover third-party services that operate their own sites.
Read this page if you are about to send a message, a correction, or a privacy request. It explains what we receive, why we use it, how long we keep it, and what you can ask us to do about it. The language is deliberately plain: this is a small editorial site, not a marketplace, and we do not run accounts, checkout, or advertising profiles here.
What reaches us
Data we collect
We collect personal data only when you send it to us, such as your name, email address, and message content through the contact form or email. If you write about a PC game or app we covered, include a correction, or ask a question, the details in that message are what we receive. We do not ask for payment card data, and we do not collect it on this site.
We also collect standard technical data needed to operate the site, such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, through server logs and cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. This information helps us keep pages loading, spot faults, and understand which guides are read. It is operational data, not a profile we build about you for advertising.
That distinction matters. Information you choose to send in a message is personal data we can respond to and, where you ask, correct or delete. Technical records are kept in aggregate or for security review, and they are not merged with your contact message unless we need to investigate a specific problem with that message.
Use of your data
How we use personal data
We use contact data to reply to your message, to review corrections and suggestions, and to keep a record of editorial correspondence. If you point out an error in a release date, a performance note, or a guide step, we use your message to check the point, amend the page where needed, and keep a note of why a change was made.
Technical data is used to operate, secure, and improve the site, and to understand aggregate usage. That includes confirming pages load correctly on desktop browsers, reviewing unusual traffic for security, and seeing which topics readers actually use. We do not sell personal data. We do not use contact data for advertising.
We also do not add contact details to a mailing list on the basis of a single message. If a future service ever offered a newsletter, it would say so clearly and provide a way to opt in and opt out before any address was used that way.
How long we keep it
Retention
We keep contact messages for as long as needed to handle the request and to maintain editorial records. Technical logs are kept for a limited period for security and operations. When data is no longer needed, we delete it or remove identifiers where practical. Retention periods may vary by record type.
In practice, a short question may need only a brief reply and no long-term record, while a correction that changes a published guide may be kept as part of the editorial file for that page. Even then, we keep only what is relevant to the matter at hand. If you ask us to delete contact data you sent, we will remove it unless a legal or security reason requires us to keep a limited record, and we will explain that if it applies.
Who sees it
Sharing of personal data
We share personal data only with service providers that help us operate the site, such as hosting or email services, and only to the extent needed for that service. A hosting provider, for example, may process technical data in order to deliver pages; an email service may handle a message you send us. In each case the sharing is limited to running the site or delivering the message.
We may disclose data when required by law or to protect rights and safety. We do not share personal data with advertisers as part of editorial coverage. Coverage of a game, a remaster, or a PC app does not involve passing reader contact details to a publisher, developer, or advertising network.
Your choices and requests
Your choices and requests
You may ask us what personal data we hold about you, ask for a correction, or ask for deletion of contact data you sent. Send requests to [email protected] with a clear subject line. We will respond within a reasonable period and may ask for verification to protect your data. Some records may need to be kept for legal or security reasons.
A clear subject line helps us route your request quickly — for example, “Privacy request — access” or “Privacy request — correction”. Please tell us which message or page your request relates to, and what you would like us to do. If we need to confirm that you are the person who sent the original message, we will ask for enough detail to verify that without collecting more than is necessary.
Contact for privacy questions
Contact for privacy questions
For questions about this policy, contact A&E Kennels LLC at 28 Geary St, Suite 650, San Francisco, CA 94108 or [email protected]. Please include the page or topic of your question. We will explain how data was handled and what options you have under applicable law.
If your question is about cookies rather than personal data you sent us, the Cookie Policy sets out the choices available in your browser. If it is about using the site itself, the Terms of Service may be the better starting point. For anything else, the contact page is the right route, and a short note on the subject line helps us pass it to the right person.
This policy may be updated from time to time. The version on this page is the current one. If a change affects how personal data is handled, we will update the date above and describe the change here.
