This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle the collection, use, and disclosure of dog pictures and related data when you engage our dog training services.

Collection and Use of Dog Pictures:
When you, as a client of “Beyond The Paw,” participate in our dog training sessions or events, we may take photographs or videos of your dog(s) for promotional purposes, including social media posts, print materials, and our website.

By participating in any dog training session or event with “Beyond The Paw,” you automatically grant us consent to use pictures and videos of your dog(s) for promotional purposes as described in this policy. This means that any images taken during our sessions may be used on our platforms and promotional materials without requiring additional explicit consent.

Privacy and Security:
We are committed to maintaining the security and confidentiality of all images and data collected. All pictures will be stored securely and accessed only by authorized personnel involved in marketing and promotional activities. We will not share, sell, or lease any images to third parties without your consent.

We will not include personal information such as your full name or address in captions or tags. However, we may use your dog’s name and share details related to their training progress with your consent.

Third-Party Services:
We may engage third-party service providers to assist with marketing and advertising activities. In such cases, we will ensure that these providers adhere to strict privacy standards and use the images solely for the purposes specified in this policy.

Image Removal Request:
While consent is automatically granted for the use of pictures, if you wish to have any images of your dog(s) removed from our promotional materials, social media accounts, or website, please contact us at [email protected] . We will promptly fulfill your request and cease using the images for promotional purposes.
