Privacy Policy

Legacy Ranch Golden Retrievers
Effective date: October 21, 2026

Legacy Ranch Golden Retrievers (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a golden retriever breeder in Parker, Colorado. This policy explains, in plain language, what information we collect through legacyranchgoldenretrievers.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Our contact form

When you send us a message using the contact form, we collect:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your phone number
  • The type of inquiry you choose
  • Your message

When you submit the form, our website also automatically records your IP address, your browser and device type, and the page you sent the form from. This helps us block spam and fix problems.

The form is run by a WordPress plugin called Fluent Forms. Your submission is saved in our website’s database and emailed to our Gmail inbox (provided by Google) so we can reply. We only use this information to answer your question and talk with you about our dogs and puppies. The form uses built-in spam protection and does not load any outside captcha service.

Puppy questionnaire (Google Forms)

Our puppy questionnaire, which you fill out before placing a deposit, is hosted on Google Forms, not on our website. When you fill it out, Google collects and stores your answers, and Google’s Privacy Policy applies (https://policies.google.com/privacy). We use your answers only to review your questionnaire and contact you about it.

Payments

We accept cash, Zelle, and Venmo. Payments are handled directly between you and us, or through those payment services, and never through this website. We do not collect or store any payment card or bank details on this site. Each payment service has its own privacy policy.

How we use your information

We use the information you give us to:

  • Reply to your questions and messages
  • Review puppy questionnaires
  • Arrange video calls, deposits, contracts, and puppy pick-ups
  • Keep records of our conversations with you

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share it with anyone except the service providers that help us run the website and communicate with you (listed below), or when required by law.

Website hosting

Our website is hosted by Kinsta. Kinsta’s servers store our website and the form submissions in its database, and may keep basic technical logs (such as IP addresses and browser type) for security and performance. Kinsta uses Cloudflare to protect and speed up the site, so your visit passes through Cloudflare’s network. See Kinsta’s privacy policy at https://kinsta.com/legal/privacy-policy/ and Cloudflare’s at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

Website analytics (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics, connected through Google’s Site Kit plugin for WordPress, to understand how people find and use our website so we can make it better. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as:

  • Which pages you visit and how long you stay
  • Your device type and browser
  • Your approximate location (such as city or region)
  • How you got to our site (for example, a Google search, Facebook, or Instagram)

We use this information only in summary form to see how our site is doing. Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses, and we do not try to figure out who individual visitors are. We do not sell this data. Google processes this information under its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you don’t want Google Analytics to collect your visits, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

Cookies

Our website uses two kinds of cookies:

  • Essential cookies that the site needs to work properly and stay secure. These include a security cookie from Cloudflare (through our host, Kinsta) that helps tell real visitors from bots, and WordPress cookies used when someone logs in to manage the site.
  • Analytics cookies from Google Analytics (such as “_ga”), which help us understand site traffic as described above.

We do not use advertising cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or use Google’s opt-out add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) to stop Google Analytics. Blocking essential cookies may keep parts of the site from working properly.

Links to other websites

Our site links to other websites, including Facebook, Instagram, the American Kennel Club (AKC) Marketplace, Good Dog, and Google Forms. When you visit those sites, their own privacy policies apply, not ours. We are not responsible for how they handle your information.

How long we keep information

We keep messages and questionnaires for as long as we need them to work with you and for our own records. You can ask us to delete your information at any time (see below).

Your privacy choices

We are a small family breeder, so privacy laws like the Colorado Privacy Act may not apply to us. We still want you to be in control of your information, so anyone can ask us to:

  • Ask what personal information we have about you
  • Ask us to correct it
  • Ask us to delete it
  • Ask for a copy of it
  • Stop using it for anything other than talking with you (we never sell it or use it for targeted advertising)

To make a request, email us at LegacyRanchGoldens@gmail.com. We may need to confirm your identity before we act on the request. We will do our best to respond within 30 days and will not treat you differently for making a request.

Children’s privacy

Our website is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no website or email system is 100% secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page.
