Pure Dog Talk uses MemberPress to manage membership accounts. When you register as a free member or paid patron, we collect your name, email address, and membership tier information. This information is used to provide you with access to member content and benefits appropriate to your tier.

Paid memberships are billed annually and renew automatically on your signup anniversary date. You will receive a reminder email before your renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account page at puredogtalk.com/account/.

Stripe collects and processes your payment information in accordance with PCI-DSS standards.
