Google Analytics may collect information such as your device type, browser, approximate location, pages visited, referral source, and interactions with our website.

We use this information primarily to understand which pages are useful to visitors, how people find Nord Velet, and how we can improve the website.

Google may process information collected through these services according to Google’s own privacy policies and terms.

4. Meta Pixel and Social Media Advertising

Nord Velet may use the Meta Pixel and related technologies provided by Meta Platforms, Inc., which operates Facebook and Instagram.

These technologies may collect information about visits to our website and interactions with particular pages. This may allow us to:

• Measure the effectiveness of advertising
• Understand whether visitors came to our website from Facebook or Instagram
• Measure website visits and conversions
• Build or improve advertising audiences
• Better understand how visitors interact with Nord Velet content

Information collected through Meta technologies may be processed by Meta in accordance with Meta’s own privacy policies and terms.

Depending on your browser, device, account settings, and location, Meta may be able to associate website activity with other information it holds about you.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and third-party services may use cookies, tracking pixels, local storage, or similar technologies.

These technologies may be used to:

• Keep the website functioning properly
• Understand website traffic
• Measure advertising performance
• Remember certain visitor preferences
• Improve website usability

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website functionality.

Your browser, Google account, Meta account, or other third-party services may also provide additional privacy or advertising controls.

6. How We Use Your Information

Nord Velet may use information we collect to:

• Review kitten applications
• Evaluate potential homes for Nord Velet kittens
• Contact applicants and prospective families
• Respond to questions or inquiries
• Discuss kitten availability
• Match kittens with appropriate homes
• Communicate about reservations, placement, transportation, and homecoming

Submitting a kitten application does not guarantee approval or reservation of a kitten.

7. How We Share Information

Nord Velet does not sell personal information for money.

We may disclose limited information when reasonably necessary to operate our website or business, including to service providers that assist us with services such as:

• Website hosting
• Website administration
• Analytics
• Online forms
• Email or communications
• Advertising and marketing
• Website security

For example, information about website activity may be processed by companies such as Google and Meta when their analytics or advertising technologies are used on our website.

We may also disclose information when required by law, legal process, court order, governmental request, or when reasonably necessary to protect Nord Velet, our animals, our customers, or others.

We do not provide kitten-application information to unrelated parties for them to independently market their products or services to you.

8. Kitten Application Information

Information submitted through a Nord Velet kitten application is used primarily to determine whether a prospective home is a suitable placement for one of our kittens.

Because responsible placement requires us to understand the prospective household and expected care of the kitten, the application may request more information than a typical website contact form.

Application information is reviewed by Nord Velet and is not publicly displayed.

We may retain application and placement information for our business records, breeder records, communication history, and future placement consideration.

9. Veterinary Information

If you provide the name or contact information of a veterinary clinic, you represent that you are authorized to provide that information.

Nord Velet may contact a veterinary clinic when reasonably necessary as part of the application or placement process.

We do not request confidential human medical records.

Questions regarding household cat allergies are intended only to help evaluate whether placement of a kitten is appropriate for the household.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Information related to an application that does not result in a kitten placement may be retained for future reference or future litter consideration.

Records associated with an actual kitten placement may be retained for a longer period for breeding records, contracts, health documentation, ownership records, support, dispute resolution, tax or business requirements, and other legitimate recordkeeping purposes.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information submitted through our website.

However, no website, online transmission, electronic storage system, or email system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For this reason, please do not submit financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through our website unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure method.

12. Children’s Privacy

The Nord Velet website and kitten application are intended for adults.

Applicants must be at least 18 years old.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13 through our website.

A parent or adult applicant may provide general information about household members, including children’s ages, when completing a kitten application for the purpose of evaluating the household environment.

If you believe a child has directly submitted personal information to us without appropriate permission, please contact us so we can review and, when appropriate, remove the information.

13. Links to Other Websites and Social Media

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, cat registries, or other external services.

Once you leave nordvelet.com, the privacy practices of those websites are governed by their own policies.

Nord Velet is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services.

14. Your Privacy Choices

You may contact Nord Velet to request that we:

• Confirm whether we have personal information you submitted
• Correct inaccurate application or contact information
• Delete certain information you previously submitted
• Stop contacting you for non-contractual communications

Some information may need to be retained when reasonably necessary for contracts, kitten-placement records, legal obligations, fraud prevention, disputes, accounting, or other legitimate business purposes.

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide additional privacy rights.

15. Advertising and Tracking Choices

You may be able to reduce or limit tracking by:

• Adjusting your browser’s cookie settings
• Blocking third-party cookies
• Using browser privacy features
• Adjusting advertising preferences within Facebook, Instagram, Google, or other services
• Using privacy or tracking-prevention features provided by your device

Blocking tracking technologies may not prevent all data collection and may affect certain website features.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Nord Velet may update this Privacy Policy periodically as our website, services, technology, or legal requirements change.

When we make material changes, we will update the effective date shown at the top of this page.

We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
