If we become aware of inadvertently receiving information from a minor under 13, please inform us via our contact form.

10. Response to Do-Not-Track Signals

Many browsers and some mobile operating systems offer a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting. Enabling this feature indicates your preference about the collection of information regarding your online activities. Presently, due to the absence of a standardized method for interpreting and implementing DNT signals, KittenShelterHomes does not specifically respond to DNT browser signals or similar mechanisms. Should a standard for online tracking be adopted that necessitates our compliance, we will revise this Privacy Policy to include these changes.

11. For California Residents: Understanding Your Rights

For California residents under 18 who have provided information to KittenShelterHomes, you have the right to request the removal of unintentionally shared data. Please contact us through the provided channels, specify the data, and confirm your residency in California. We will try to remove the data from public view on KittenShelterHomes, but we cannot guarantee complete removal from our databases or cached/archived versions of our site. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) enacted in 2018 grants additional rights regarding the access, deletion, and sharing of personal information collected by businesses. While we do not sell your data to third parties, we work with third-party partners and service providers who may access your information as described in this Privacy Policy. Californians may have additional rights under state laws. For more details, refer to our Supplemental Privacy Notice for California Residents.
