Scope
This policy applies to information we process through the Site and related pages where it is linked. It does not cover third-party websites, apps, or services that we do not control, even if we link to them (for example, product vendors, marketplaces, tele-vet providers, or analytics platforms). Their practices are governed by their own policies.

- User content: Messages, feedback, or other information you provide in forms or emails.
- Commercial information (limited): If we offer paid features in the future, we may collect purchase history or subscription details. Payment processing would be handled by a third-party provider; we do not store full payment card numbers.
