PRIVACY POLICY

Chihuahua City • ChihuahuaCity.store

Effective Date: Wed July 8, 2026
Last Updated: October 18, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Getchman Klovas Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Chihuahua City (“Chihuahua City,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit ChihuahuaCity.store, including any subdomains, and any related content, tools, quizzes, newsletters, or promotions we operate (collectively, the “Site”).

Chihuahua City is a content and affiliate-marketing website. We publish product recommendations, buying guides, and educational content for Chihuahua owners, and we earn commissions when visitors click links on the Site and make purchases from third-party retailers and brands. We do not sell products directly, we do not operate a checkout, and we never collect or process payment card information. All purchases are completed on third-party websites under those parties’ own terms and privacy policies.

By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Site.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

Contact information — your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter, download a guide, or submit a form; your name if you choose to provide it.
Quiz and preference data — answers you submit through interactive tools on the Site (for example, our product-finder quiz), such as your dog’s age range, approximate weight, and product needs or interests.
Promotions and surveys — information you submit if you enter a sweepstakes, contest, or giveaway we run, or respond to a survey. Promotions may be subject to supplemental official rules provided at the time of entry.
Communications — the contents of messages you send us through contact forms, email, chat, or social media.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

Device and browser data — IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen dimensions, and language settings.
Usage data — pages viewed, links clicked (including affiliate links), time on page, scroll depth, referral source, search terms that brought you to the Site, and the dates and times of visits.
Approximate location — coarse, city- or region-level location inferred from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location.
Site analytics — visit counts, pages viewed and the country or region of visitors, as counted by Wix’s built-in site analytics, plus the search terms that bring visitors to us, as reported by Google Search Console (which tells us the terms, not who searched).
Cookie and identifier data — cookie IDs, click IDs, and similar online identifiers described in Sections 3, 4, and 5.

2.3 Information From Third Parties

Affiliate networks and retail partners provide us with reporting about clicks originating from the Site and resulting transactions — for example, click identifiers, order values, items or item categories purchased, and commission amounts. This reporting is tied to pseudonymous click IDs rather than to your name or contact details, and we do not use it to build a profile of your individual purchases.
Our email platform, Omnisend, supplies engagement data (deliveries, opens, clicks, unsubscribes) tied to your subscription record.

2.4 Categories of Sources

We collect personal information from the following categories of sources: you (directly); your device (automatically); our service providers; and affiliate networks and retail partners.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information as defined by applicable law (such as government identifiers, financial account credentials, health records, biometric data, or precise geolocation), and we ask that you do not submit it to us.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party partners use cookies, pixels, tags, web beacons, software development kits, local storage, and similar technologies (collectively, “cookies”) on the Site and in our emails. We use the following categories:

Strictly necessary cookies — required for the Site to function (security, load balancing, consent preferences). These cannot be switched off.
Analytics and performance cookies — Wix’s built-in site analytics and Omnisend’s visit tracking help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and layout.
Functional cookies — remember your preferences, such as quiz progress or region.
Affiliate attribution cookies — set by the destination retailer or its network, on its own site, when you click an affiliate link, so that it can attribute any resulting purchase to Chihuahua City (Section 4). We set no attribution cookie ourselves.
Advertising cookies and pixels — none today. We run no advertising pixels or retargeting; if we add them, this Policy and our Cookie Policy will be updated first and the banner will ask for your consent (Section 5).

On your first visit, a banner lets you accept or decline non-essential cookies; nothing non-essential loads until you answer. To change your choice later, clear this site’s cookies in your browser and the banner will ask again, or use your browser’s cookie controls. Blocking some cookie categories may affect Site functionality. Additional detail appears in our separate Cookie Policy, which is incorporated into this Privacy Policy by reference.

4. Affiliate Programs and Third-Party Tracking

Chihuahua City participates in affiliate advertising programs. When you click an affiliate link on the Site, you are redirected to the retailer’s or brand’s website, and the retailer or its affiliate network places one or more cookies or similar identifiers on your device to record that the visit originated from Chihuahua City. If you later make a qualifying purchase within that program’s attribution window, we earn a commission. The information processed for attribution (such as click ID, timestamp, referring page, device identifiers, and order value) is collected and controlled by the retailer or network under its own privacy policy, not by us. As described in Section 2.3, networks and partners return conversion reporting to us tied to pseudonymous click identifiers.

Chihuahua City is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. We also participate in the eBay Partner Network.

We may join additional affiliate programs and networks over time. The current list of our affiliate partners is maintained on our Affiliate Disclosure page at https://www.chihuahuacity.store/affiliate-disclosure.

Our outbound links go straight to the retailer’s page. We use no link-shortening or link-routing service, and we do not read your location to route you.

Once you leave the Site by clicking any outbound link, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of every website you visit, including our retail partners’ sites, before making a purchase or submitting personal information.

5. Interest-Based Advertising, Retargeting Pixels, and Matched Audiences

We do not currently run interest-based advertising, retargeting pixels, or matched audiences, and we do not share hashed email lists with any advertising platform. If we ever add these tools, this Policy and our Cookie Policy will describe them before they start, and the banner will ask for your consent. Today the only tracking in our marketing is the email pixel described here:

Email web beacons. Emails we send contain a small pixel that tells us when a message is opened and which links are clicked. You can disable this by turning images off in your email application.

Your choices: turn images off in your email application to stop the email pixel, and use the unsubscribe link in any email to stop the emails.

Because we run no advertising pixels, we do not “sell” or “share” personal information or engage in “targeted advertising” as those terms are used in U.S. state privacy laws (Section 12).

6. How We Use Personal Information

To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site and its content.
To send you the newsletters, deal alerts, guides, and other communications you request, and to deliver lead magnets you download.
To personalize content and product recommendations — for example, tailoring email content based on quiz answers or the content categories you engage with (such as puppy care, senior-dog care, apparel, training, tech, or insurance).
To administer sweepstakes, contests, and surveys, and to award and deliver prizes.
To measure Site performance, understand aggregate visitor behavior, test layouts, and fix errors.
To track affiliate referrals and reconcile commission reporting from our networks and partners.
To comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms of Use, prevent fraud and abuse, and protect the rights, property, and safety of Chihuahua City, our users, and the public.

We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not knowingly process sensitive personal information.

7. Email Communications

7.1 Email

If you subscribe, we will send you editorial and promotional email, which may include affiliate links and sponsored placements. Our email platform records deliveries, opens, clicks, and unsubscribes — including through the web-beacon pixel described in Section 5 — and applies interest-based tags derived from your interactions (for example, engagement with food, apparel, training, technology, or insurance content) so that we can send more relevant messages. Every marketing email contains an unsubscribe link; opting out is processed promptly and without charge. We may still send you non-promotional, transactional messages where permitted by law (for example, confirming a request you made).

When you sign up for our emails, your browser remembers your address. If you then follow a product link from one of our aisles, we note that aisle on your subscriber record so our emails fit what you shop for, such as food or cold-weather gear. Clearing this site’s data in your browser stops it, and every email has an unsubscribe link.

7.2 Text Messages

We do not currently send text messages, and no page on the Site asks for a phone number. If we add a text-message program, it will be strictly opt-in, this Policy will be updated before it starts, and its terms (message limits, STOP and HELP instructions, and carrier charges) will be stated at sign-up.

8. How We Disclose Personal Information

We do not sell personal information for money. We disclose personal information only as follows:

Service providers / processors. Companies that host and support the Site and our operations under contract, currently including: Wix.com Ltd. (website hosting, content management, forms, CRM, built-in site analytics, and the cookie banner); Omnisend (email and marketing automation); Google LLC (Google Search Console and Google Workspace email); and Sentry (error monitoring, loaded through a Wix app, which records technical faults on the Site and the browser details attached to them so we can fix them). These providers may access personal information only to perform services for us and are contractually restricted from using it for their own purposes, except as permitted for limited security and improvement uses under their agreements.
Affiliate networks and retail partners. As described in Section 4, attribution data associated with your click (such as click IDs and device identifiers) is transmitted to and collected by the applicable network or retailer through cookies when you click an outbound affiliate link. We do not transmit your name, email address, or phone number to affiliate networks or retailers.
Legal and safety. When we believe disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or is reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or property, to investigate fraud, or to respond to a lawful government request.
Business transfers. In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of all or part of our business, personal information may be transferred as a business asset, subject to reasonable confidentiality protections and, where required, notice to you.
Aggregated or de-identified data. We may use and share information that no longer reasonably identifies you (for example, aggregate traffic statistics) for any lawful purpose. We maintain de-identified data only in de-identified form and will not attempt to re-identify it.

9. Community and Public Features

If the Site offers comments, reviews, forums, or other community features, any information you post there — including your display name and the contents of your post — is public, may be read, collected, and used by anyone, and may remain visible after you stop using the Site. We are not responsible for information you choose to disclose publicly. To request removal of content you posted, contact us using Section 17; note that removal from the Site does not guarantee removal from search engines or third-party archives.

10. Your Choices

Cookies — accept or decline non-essential cookies through the banner on your first visit; to change your choice later, clear this site’s cookies in your browser and the banner will ask again.
Email — use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.
Analytics — decline non-essential cookies in the banner; Wix’s built-in analytics then counts your visit only in aggregate.
Affiliate tracking — the retailer sets its attribution cookie on its own site after you click; you can block or clear it in your browser, which may prevent the retailer from crediting your purchase to Chihuahua City but does not affect your ability to buy.

11. Notice of Financial Incentive

From time to time we offer benefits in exchange for joining our email list — for example, a free downloadable guide (such as the “Chihuahua Care Starter Guide”), subscriber-only deal alerts, or entry into a giveaway. Under California law these offers may be considered a “financial incentive” because they are tied to the collection of personal information (your email address). We value the personal information collected at approximately the cost to us of providing the benefit; this good-faith estimate is based on the expense of producing the content or prize and the reasonable relationship between that expense and the data provided. Participation is entirely optional and requires your opt-in; you may withdraw at any time by unsubscribing from email, after which we will stop using your information for the program. Withdrawal does not affect benefits already delivered.

12. Privacy Rights — United States

Depending on your state of residence (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and others with comprehensive privacy laws), you may have the right to: (a) confirm whether we process your personal information and access it, including in a portable format; (b) correct inaccurate personal information; (c) delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions; (d) opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, of targeted advertising, and of profiling in furtherance of significant decisions (which we do not perform); and (e) not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights.

How to exercise these rights: email us at info@chihuahuacity.store or submit a request through https://www.chihuahuacity.store/help. You do not need an account to submit a request. We will verify your request by matching the information you provide against the personal information we hold (for example, confirming control of the email address on file) and may request additional information where reasonably necessary to verify your identity or understand the scope of your request. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. You may designate an authorized agent to act on your behalf; we will require proof of authorization and may still verify your identity directly.

Right to appeal. If we decline to act on your request, residents of certain states (including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, and Texas) may appeal our decision by replying to our response or emailing info@chihuahuacity.store with the subject line “Appeal.” We will respond to appeals within the period required by your state’s law, and if we deny your appeal, we will provide a method to contact your state Attorney General.

Opt-out of sale/sharing and targeted advertising: we do not sell or share personal information and do not run targeted advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of today. If that ever changes, we will add a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link to the Site footer and honor opt-out preference signals such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) before it starts.

“Shine the Light” (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.83). California residents may request, once per calendar year, information about personal information (if any) we disclosed to third parties for those parties’ own direct-marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes. Requests may be sent to info@chihuahuacity.store.

13. Privacy Rights — Canada

If you are located in Canada, we collect, use, and disclose personal information with your consent or as otherwise permitted by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial laws. You may withdraw consent to marketing at any time, and you may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you by contacting us as set out in Section 20; withdrawing consent for certain disclosures may limit the services we can provide. Our commercial electronic messages comply with Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL): we send marketing email only with express consent, every message identifies us, and every message contains a functioning unsubscribe mechanism. Your information is processed and stored on servers located in the United States and may be accessible to U.S. authorities under U.S. law.

14. Visitors Outside the United States and Canada

The Site is operated from the United States and is directed to residents of the United States and Canada. If you access the Site from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or any other jurisdiction, you do so on your own initiative, you are responsible for compliance with local law, and you understand and agree that your information will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction. We do not target or monitor individuals in the EEA or UK.

15. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy: subscriber records (email) for as long as your subscription is active and for 24 months after unsubscribe for suppression and compliance purposes; analytics data in identifiable form for no longer than 14 months; consent and opt-in/opt-out records for as long as required to demonstrate compliance; and correspondence for 3 years. When retention periods expire, we delete, de-identify, or aggregate the information. Where you exercise a deletion right, we may nevertheless retain limited information as permitted by law — for example, to maintain your opt-out or suppression status, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

16. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information, including TLS encryption in transit, access controls, unique credentials with multi-factor authentication for administrative accounts, and reliance on established, SOC 2–audited service providers for hosting and data processing. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affecting your personal information occurs, we will notify you and regulators as required by applicable law.

17. Children’s Privacy

The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us at info@chihuahuacity.store and we will delete it.

18. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including retail partners, social media platforms, and embedded content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and this Policy does not apply to information collected by them. Any information you provide on a third-party site — including account registration, payment details, and shipping addresses used to complete a purchase — is governed exclusively by that party’s privacy policy.

19. Do Not Track and Opt-Out Preference Signals

Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals; because no common industry standard for DNT has been adopted, the Site does not respond to DNT signals. Because we do not sell or share personal information, there is no sale or sharing for a Global Privacy Control signal to opt out of; if that ever changes, we will honor the signal as applicable law requires (Section 12).

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top indicates when it was most recently revised. Material changes will be announced by a prominent notice on the Site or, where appropriate, by email to subscribers, before they take effect. Your continued use of the Site after the effective date of a revised Policy constitutes acceptance of it.
