**Technical Data**
This includes data such as IP addresses, login information, browser data, page visit times, page views, navigation paths, visit counts, time zones, and device details. The data source is our analytics software. We process this data to analyze user habits on the website, ensure its secure operation, and assess the effectiveness of marketing decisions.

3. **How Do We Collect Data?**
We collect personal data either directly from users (e.g., placing an order or sending a message) or automatically during website usage through “cookies” and similar technologies, which operate only after the user gives consent. For more information, please see our Cookie Statement. Additionally, we receive certain data from third parties such as analytics providers (e.g., Google, outside the EU), ad networks (e.g., Facebook™, outside the EU), and payment partners (e.g., PayPal and Barion, outside the EU).
4. **Our Data Protection Practices**
Protecting user data and complying with regulations is paramount for trueheritagevizslakennel.com After conducting a data protection impact assessment, we created a list of the data we collect, its necessity, legal basis, and compliance.
– To protect data provided on forms and generated on the site, we use SSL certification (Let’s Encrypt Authority X3).
– We employ premium security software (iThemes Security Pro) to guard against brute force and malware attacks.
– Customer and user data in our databases is stored in encrypted form (pseudonymized), making it unreadable to third parties.
– This Privacy Statement provides users with information on how to request access to, modify, or delete their personal data.
For business purposes, we may need to share data with certain service providers (e.g., hosting provider, courier service, newsletter software). In such cases, we select partners that comply with the GDPR, and for US-based partners, we ensure they participate in the EU-US Privacy Shield, with data processing agreements to ensure responsible data handling.
5. **Marketing Communication**
Marketing communication is essential to our business. The legal basis for data processing is the user’s interest in our services or explicit consent. Under the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we send marketing messages to users who have purchased from us or explicitly consented to receive such messages. Users can easily unsubscribe via a link at the bottom of each email or request removal from our database at True Heritage Vizsla Kennel ‘s email address. Even after opting out of marketing communications, users may still receive messages related to order fulfillment.

– Couriers that fulfill orders to the provided shipping addresses
**International Data Transfers**
We may need to share user data with partners outside the European Economic Area (EEA) to maintain business operations. Since many non-EEA countries do not provide the same level of data protection, European laws prohibit data transfers without appropriate safeguards. When transferring data outside the EEA, we follow the additional measures listed in Section 4 for secure data management.
7. **Data Retention Period**
We retain user data only as long as legally or operationally necessary. When determining retention periods, we consider the data’s quantity, nature, sensitivity, and potential risks of exposure.
