We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
If a parent or legal guardian believes that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, they should contact us immediately.
Upon verification, we will take reasonable steps to delete such information unless retention is required by law.

Supplemental Privacy Disclosures
The following provisions supplement and form part of this Privacy Policy. These disclosures are intended to provide additional transparency regarding our privacy practices and should be read together with the rest of this Privacy Policy.
Electronic Communications
By contacting BengalKittens through our website, email, telephone, contact forms, or other communication methods, you consent to receive communications from us regarding your inquiries, requested services, kitten availability, transportation arrangements, customer support, and other legitimate business matters.
Communications may be provided by:
- Telephone
- SMS or text message (where applicable)
- Postal mail
- Website notifications
Message and data rates may apply when communicating through your mobile carrier.
You may opt out of promotional communications at any time; however, you may continue to receive transactional or service-related communications necessary to fulfill your requests or provide customer support.
Accuracy of Submitted Information
You agree that all information you provide to BengalKittens is accurate, complete, and current.
Providing false, misleading, incomplete, or fraudulent information may prevent us from responding to your inquiry or providing our services.
If any of your information changes after submitting an inquiry, you are encouraged to notify us promptly so our records remain accurate.
Data Integrity
We take reasonable steps to maintain the accuracy, relevance, and integrity of the personal information we maintain.
However, because much of the information we process is provided directly by customers, BengalKittens cannot guarantee that all submitted information remains current unless updated by the individual who originally provided it.
Business Records
Certain communications and transaction records may be maintained as official business records.
These records may include:
- Customer inquiries
- Email correspondence
- Shipping documentation
- Customer support communications
- Payment confirmations
- Adoption-related documentation
- Website submissions
- Customer service records
Such records may be retained for legitimate business, legal, accounting, auditing, regulatory, or compliance purposes.
Automated Decision-Making
BengalKittens does not make adoption decisions solely through automated processing or artificial intelligence.
Our team reviews customer inquiries individually and evaluates information using reasonable business judgment and responsible pet placement practices.
Whenever possible, significant decisions involving kitten placement are reviewed by a member of our team rather than being made solely through automated systems.
Data Breach Response
Although we employ reasonable safeguards to protect personal information, no security system is completely immune from risk.
If BengalKittens becomes aware of a security incident involving personal information, we will investigate the matter promptly and take appropriate corrective measures.
Where required by applicable law, affected individuals and appropriate governmental authorities will be notified in accordance with applicable federal and state notification requirements.
Limitation of Liability
While BengalKittens uses commercially reasonable measures to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, BengalKittens shall not be responsible for damages arising from unauthorized access, cybersecurity incidents, network failures, acts of third parties, force majeure events, or circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits any rights that cannot legally be limited under applicable law.
Severability
If any provision of this Privacy Policy is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Entire Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy constitutes the complete privacy statement governing the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information by BengalKittens through its website and related services.
This Privacy Policy should be read together with our:
- Terms and Conditions
- Shipping Policy
- Refund Policy
- Cookie Policy (if published)
- Any additional policies or notices posted on our website
Where another policy specifically addresses a particular service or transaction, that policy will supplement this Privacy Policy.
Contacting Us About Privacy
If you have questions, concerns, complaints, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our handling of personal information, we encourage you to contact us first so we have the opportunity to address your concerns promptly.

We are committed to protecting your privacy, maintaining transparency in our data practices, and continuously improving our services to provide a safe and trustworthy experience for every visitor and customer.
With all of these sections combined, your Privacy Policy is now comparable in scope to those used by established U.S. businesses. The next documents I recommend creating are Terms & Conditions, Refund Policy, Shipping Policy, and Health Guarantee, as these work together with the Privacy Policy to provide a complete legal framework for your website.
