Who operates this service
HoundShield is operated by an independent sole proprietor. A registered legal entity and postal address will be published here before general availability. For any privacy, data-protection or legal request in the meantime, contact legal@houndshield.com — requests are answered within the statutory time limits regardless of entity status.
We publish this rather than a placeholder because a named, contactable operator is what GDPR Art. 13(1)(a), the EU e-Commerce Directive Art. 5 and CCPA each require, and stating the position plainly is more useful to you than an invented company name.
