Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 29, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what information Pet Almanac (petalmanac.com) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.
Information we collect
- Information you send us: If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message.
- Server and log data: Like most websites, our servers record standard data such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit.
- Cookies: We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies, described below.
How we use information
We use this information to operate and secure the site, understand how readers use our content, respond to messages, fix errors, improve our guides, and support advertising that funds the site.
Cookies and advertising
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Some are needed for the site to work, and others help with measurement and advertising. We may show ads served by third parties. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at https://adssettings.google.com and learn more about interest-based advertising at https://www.aboutads.info. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not work as expected if you block them.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to learn which pages are read and how visitors find the site. These tools may collect information such as device type, pages viewed, and approximate location, and they may set their own cookies.
Affiliate links and third-party sites
Some links on our site are affiliate links, and we may link to other websites. When you follow a link, the other site may collect information under its own policies, which we do not control. We encourage you to read them. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more.
Legal bases and sharing
We do not sell personal information that you send us by email. We may share information with service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting, analytics, and advertising partners, and only as needed for them to provide those services. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our readers, our team, or the site.
Your choices
You can limit data collection in several ways. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Many also offer a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track setting, and we will honor opt-out signals where the law requires. You can unsubscribe from any correspondence by telling us, and you can ask us to delete an email conversation at any time.
Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the site work, and ads you see may be less relevant to you, though you will likely still see ads.
Data retention
We keep information only as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes described here, such as answering your message, maintaining records, or meeting legal obligations. Log and analytics data is kept for a limited period.
Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website or method of transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s privacy
Pet Almanac is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your privacy rights
Residents of California and some other U.S. states may have rights regarding their personal information, such as asking what we hold about them or requesting that it be deleted. To make a request, email us at [email protected]. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request.
Information from emails
When you write to us, we use your message and email address only to read and answer it, to review reported corrections, and to improve our content. We do not add you to a mailing list without asking, and we do not use your message to build advertising profiles.
International visitors
Pet Almanac is operated for readers in the United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those where you live.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Please review it periodically.
