Privacy Policy

APCA collects information necessary to operate its breed registry and membership program. This includes information submitted for dog registration (such as registered names, registration numbers, sire and dam, breeder, and, where submitted, titles and health records), and information submitted by members and applicants, such as contact details and membership category.

We may also collect limited technical information from visitors to this website, such as pages viewed, to help us maintain and improve the site.

Certain registry information is treated as public record consistent with standard breed registry practice, including a dog's registered name, registration number, sire and dam, breeder of record, and any titles or health results voluntarily submitted for publication. This information may appear in registry search results and pedigree records on this site.

Owner contact details — such as phone numbers, email addresses, and mailing addresses — are kept private and are not published as part of the public registry. Such information is used internally by APCA for registry administration, membership communication, and, where applicable, to facilitate contact between parties who mutually consent to be connected.

This website may use cookies or similar technologies to support basic functionality and to understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some site functionality.

Members and registrants may request access to, correction of, or removal of their personal information held by APCA, subject to the association's recordkeeping obligations for the integrity of the registry. Requests can be submitted through our contact page.

Questions about this Privacy Policy can be directed to APCA through our contact page. Official contact email to be published.
