1. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you express an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and Services, when you participate in activities on the Services, or otherwise when you contact us.
The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions:
- Personal Data Provided by You: Names, phone numbers, email addresses, mailing addresses, and contact preferences.
- Application & Waitlist Information: Details regarding your home environment, history with large cat breeds, and household preferences.

2. Website Analytics Tracking Cookies & Your Consent Choices
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity but includes device and usage data.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to access or store information. These logs help us with:
- Securing our forms and intercepting automated spam bots or brute-force tracking behaviors.
- Analyzing traffic density patterns to optimize our horizontal menu rails and image loading speeds.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. If you prefer, you can usually choose to set your browser to remove cookies and to reject cookies. If you choose to remove or reject cookies, this could affect certain structural features or form submissions on our Services.
3. Legal Basis for Processing Your Information (GDPR Compliance)
If you are located in the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA), our legal bases for processing your personal data rely on specific frameworks:
- Consent: You have given us clear consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose (such as submitting a waitlist profile).
- Performance of a Contract: Processing is required to fulfill an agreement or organize a specific kitten placement protocol.
- Legitimate Interests: Processing supports our core organizational security requirements, including protecting our original photography assets.
4. How We Use Your Information
We process your personal information for purposes based on legitimate business interests, the fulfillment of our contract with you, compliance with our legal obligations, and/or your consent.
We use the information we collect or receive to:
- Facilitate Account Creation & Inquiries: To manage your intake record and streamline communication.

- Deliver Administrative Communications: To send you product updates, cattery journal entries, or technical changes to our policies.
- Protect Our Services: To keep our forms secure, trace fraudulent activity, and enforce right-click dragging protection protocols.
5. User-Submitted Media and Photo Rights
If you send us personal photos, updates, or alumni success text reviews of your DLuxxy kittens, you explicitly grant us permission to exhibit these assets across our public platforms.
- We respect your visual property. We will only broadcast images you have intentionally submitted to us for sharing purposes.
- All owner-submitted updates displayed inside our Alumni Showcase Hub rows are backed by our global layout anti-theft scripts.

- Form Processing Link Handlers: We securely transfer your data inputs through trusted form engines (such as Formspree or Web3Forms).
- Payment Gateways: We never hold or process credit card numbers on our local databases. All transactions are securely routed through external billing channels.
- Official Registry Compliance: Data tracks may be coordinated with TICA solely to verify lineage records or ethical validation requirements.
7. Data Security & Retention
We keep your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures, including active web encryption and form firewalls, designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, please also remember that no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Although we do our absolute best to shield your records, submission of personal data to and from our Services is at your own risk.
8. Your Rights

By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Services. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the record and take immediate measures to promptly delete such data from our history.
