Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Commitment to Privacy

At PetsCalorieCount.com ("we", "our", or "us"), we believe that your personal privacy and your pets' health data belong to you. We are committed to transparency in our data practices. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information when you visit and use our web applications, calculators, and content.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Our core calculator is engineered to run client-side directly within your web browser.

• We do not require user registration or account creation to use our calculators.
• We do not store your pets' names, weights, body condition scores, or dietary inputs on our servers. All pet profiles and recent calculation histories are stored solely in your device's browser memory (localStorage).
• We never sell, rent, or monetize your personal information or pet data to third-party brokers or advertisers.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

When you access our website, standard web server logs and privacy-preserving analytics may passively collect basic non-personally identifiable technical information, including:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system and device category
• Referring URL and pages visited
• Timestamp of access and approximate geographic region (country or state level)

This telemetry is aggregated and utilized solely to optimize site performance, diagnose server errors, and improve tool responsiveness.

4. Cookies & Local Storage (Browser Storage)

We use browser localStorage exclusively to save your UI preferences (such as your chosen Light/Dark theme mode) and your optional saved pet calculation cards so that they persist when you return. You can erase this data at any time by clearing your browser cache and local storage.

5. Third-Party Links & Resources

Our website may contain links to external non-profit organizations and academic standards bodies (such as WSAVA, AAHA, NRC). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy statements of any external sites you visit.

6. GDPR & CCPA/CPRA Compliance

Whether you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, California, or elsewhere globally, you have the right to inspect, correct, or delete any personal information held about you. Because we do not maintain centralized user databases, you have full control to purge stored pet records directly from your browser.
