We’re setting things up but we’d still love to hear what you have to say about dog walks or businesses. Tell us what you think about places you’ve visited and how dog-friendly the experience was!
Thanks for your contribution to the K9 Nation community. We hope to be able to share it with the community very soon.
Protecting your data is very important to K9Nation Limited (“K9Nation”, “us”, “our” or “we”). This policy, together with our Terms and conditions, sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by K9Nation.

For the avoidance of any doubt, any reference in this privacy policy to your data shall include data about other individuals that you have provided us with.
We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration. This is statistical information about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and may be linked to an individual user through other information that is held by us or publically available.
