Contract — when processing is necessary to provide a product or service you requested.
Consent — when you have given permission, such as for certain marketing or cookies.
Legitimate interests — when processing is reasonably necessary for our business operations, website security, analytics, customer service, and improvement of HuPaw, provided those interests do not override your rights.
Legal obligations — when processing is necessary to comply with applicable laws.
You may withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, although withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before consent was withdrawn.

17. California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of certain U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.

If HuPaw becomes subject to such requirements, appropriate mechanisms will be provided for eligible users to exercise those rights.
18. International Visitors
HuPaw may be accessible from countries around the world.

19. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure.
We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.
20. Children’s Privacy
HuPaw is intended for pet parents and general audiences and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children where parental consent would be legally required.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to HuPaw inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
21. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals.
Because standards and legal requirements concerning these signals continue to vary, HuPaw may not respond to all browser-based Do Not Track signals unless required by applicable law.
Where legally required, we will honor recognized opt-out preference signals.
