Privacy Policy

At DogFoodCalculator.org, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal data with transparency and respect. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over your data.

By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use our calculation tools. All tools operate anonymously — your pet's weight, age, and health data entered in sliders stays in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data including browser type, pages visited, session duration, and geographic region (country level). This data never identifies you personally.
• Cookies: We use first-party cookies to remember your slider preferences so you do not need to re-enter values on return visits. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
• Log Data: Our hosting servers may automatically record standard log data including IP addresses (anonymized), request timestamps, and error logs for security and performance monitoring.

1.3 Contact Form Data

If you submit our Contact Us form, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry. This data is not used for marketing purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To improve the functionality and performance of our calculators
• To analyze which tools are most helpful to our users
• To respond to support inquiries and feedback
• To detect and prevent security incidents
• To comply with legal obligations

We never sell, rent, or trade your data to third-party advertisers or data brokers.

3. Amazon Affiliate Links

DogFoodCalculator.org participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click on a product link and make a purchase on Amazon, Amazon may set its own cookies to track the referral. Amazon's privacy policy governs how Amazon handles your data. We encourage you to review Amazon's Privacy Policy.

We do not receive or store any personal data from Amazon about your purchases.

4. Google Analytics & Advertising

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. Google Analytics collects data about your browsing behavior using cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We may also use Google AdSense to display contextually relevant advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings.

5. Data Security

Our website uses industry-standard HTTPS/TLS encryption to protect all data transmitted between your browser and our servers. We implement regular security audits and follow best practices to protect against unauthorized access, data loss, or disclosure.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and encourage you to use our tools on trusted networks.

6. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data
• Right to Restrict Processing: Request that we limit how we use your data
• Right to Data Portability: Request your data in a portable format
