You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience on the Site or the functionality of embedded content.

1.4 Embedded Content and Third-Party Services

1.5 Information Collected When You Click Affiliate Links

When you click on affiliate links on our Site (such as links to product retailers through AWIN or other affiliate networks), the affiliate network may collect information such as:


  • Your IP address

  • The link or product clicked

  • Whether a purchase was made and the purchase value


This data is collected by the affiliate network, not directly by us. Please review the privacy policies of any affiliate network or retailer you visit through our links.

1.6 Additional Information We May Collect in the Future

As the Site grows, we may introduce new features such as user accounts, newsletter subscriptions, community features, or additional contact forms. This Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect any material changes in information collected.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.


3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

3.1 Affiliate Networks and Retail Partners

When you click an affiliate link on our Site, you are directed to a third-party retailer's website (e.g., a pet product store). The applicable affiliate network (such as AWIN) and the retailer will collect information about your visit and any resulting purchase, subject to their own privacy policies. We receive only aggregated performance data (clicks, conversions, commissions) - not your personal details from the retailer.

3.2 Service Providers

We may share information with third-party service providers who help us operate the Site, such as:


  • Web hosting platforms

  • Analytics providers

  • Email marketing platforms (if and when a newsletter is introduced)


These providers are authorized to use your information only as needed to provide services to us.

3.3 Legal Compliance

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if necessary to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users or the public.

3.4 Business Transfers

If Cute Puppy Life is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change via a prominent notice on this page.


4. Affiliate Disclosure

Cute Puppy Life participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that we may earn a commission or referral fee when you click on certain product links on our Site and make a purchase, at no additional cost to you.

Current Affiliate Relationships

We currently participate in the following affiliate programs (this list may be updated as relationships change):


  • AWIN Affiliate Network - we earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through AWIN-tracked product links (including bully sticks and other dog products featured on this Site)

  • Buy Me a Coffee - we accept voluntary tips/contributions from readers who wish to support Tank & Buddy

  • ClickBank or other networks - we may participate in additional affiliate networks from time to time

How This Affects Our Content

Our participation in affiliate programs does not influence the authenticity or editorial independence of our content. We only recommend products we believe may be genuinely useful or enjoyable for dog owners. However, you should be aware that affiliate links are present on this Site and that we benefit financially when you make qualifying purchases through them.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with guidelines issued by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), we disclose our affiliate relationships prominently. Where affiliate links appear, we strive to identify them clearly (e.g., with "Buy Now" links, product banners, or contextual disclosures). If you have questions about whether a specific link is an affiliate link, please contact us.


5. YouTube Channel

Cute Puppy Life operates a YouTube channel at youtube.com/@cutepuppyshortsvideos (and @cutepuppyshortsvideos_tank). When you visit, subscribe to, or interact with our YouTube channel, your interactions are governed by Google's/YouTube's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We do not collect personal data from YouTube directly, though YouTube may share aggregated audience analytics with us through YouTube Studio.


6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure. These measures include:


  • HTTPS encryption on the Site

  • Use of reputable third-party platforms with their own security standards


However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.


7. Data Retention

We retain any personal information (such as email addresses collected through subscriptions) for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Analytics and usage data is typically retained in aggregate or anonymized form. When personal data is no longer needed, we will delete or anonymize it.

  • Right to Access - request a copy of any personal data we hold about you

  • Right to Correction - request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data

  • Right to Deletion - request deletion of your personal data

  • Right to Opt Out of Marketing - unsubscribe from any promotional communications at any time

  • Right to Data Portability - in certain circumstances, receive your data in a portable format

California Residents

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal data), and the right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.


To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 11.
