This policy explains what information The Pet Check-In (thepetcheckin.com) collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. I keep it short and plain on purpose.
Information collected automatically
When you visit, my web host and analytics tools may record technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you view and the site you came from. This helps keep the site running securely and shows which guides are useful.
Information you provide
If you use the contact form, I receive the name, email address and message you enter. I use them only to reply to you. If you sign up for the newsletter, I receive your email address.
Email newsletter
If you subscribe, your email address is stored with an email service provider that sends the messages. Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can unsubscribe at any time. I don’t sell or rent your email address.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site, for example which pages are popular. Where consent is required, it loads only after you accept analytics cookies in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time using the cookie settings link.
Cookies
Cookies are small files stored in your browser. This site uses essential cookies to work properly and, with your consent, analytics cookies. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. More detail is in the cookie policy.
Third parties
- Affiliate links: if you click an Amazon or other retailer link, that site may set its own cookies and track the purchase so I can earn a commission. Their privacy policies apply once you leave this site.
- Pinterest and other social sites: if you share or save content, those services handle your data under their own policies.
- Service providers: my web host, email provider, spam protection and analytics tools process data on my behalf to run the site.
How I use information
To run and secure the site, to reply to your messages, to send newsletters you asked for, and to improve the guides. I don’t sell your personal information.
How long I keep it
Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to answer and follow up. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is kept for the period set in the analytics tool.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live (for example Canada, the EU or the UK), you may have the right to ask what information I hold about you, to correct it, or to ask me to delete it. Use the contact page and I’ll respond as soon as I can.
Children
This site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. I don’t knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to this policy
I may update this policy from time to time. The date below shows when it last changed.
