Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy Philosophy

petsMetrics is designed to be private by default. We do not require accounts, do not collect email addresses, and do not upload any of your pet data to our servers. Your pet profiles, tool inputs, and calculation results are stored exclusively in your browser's localStorage — on your device, under your control.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

• privacy.notCollectP1
• privacy.notCollectP2
• privacy.notCollectP3
• privacy.notCollectP4

3. Data Stored on Your Device

The following data is stored in your browser's localStorage and never leaves your device:

• Pet profiles (name, breed, species, birth date, weight, sex, neuter status, photo)
• Active profile selection
• Weight unit preference (kg or lb)
• UI preferences

You can delete this data at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for petsmetrics.com, or by using the "Delete Profile" function in the Profile dashboard. You can also export your data as a JSON file for backup.

4. Analytics

We may use a privacy-respecting analytics service (such as Plausible or a self-hosted alternative) to understand aggregate usage patterns — e.g., which tools are most popular, which pages receive the most visits. These analytics do not use cookies, do not track individual users across sessions, and do not collect any personally identifiable information. No individual user behavior is recorded or stored.

5. Third-Party Services

petsMetrics does not embed third-party trackers, social media pixels, or advertising networks that collect user data. We may display affiliate links to pet products or services — clicking these links takes you to the third-party site, whose privacy policies govern any data collected there.

The site is hosted on Vercel, which may collect standard server logs (including IP addresses) for operational purposes. Vercel's privacy policy governs that data processing.

6. Children's Privacy

petsMetrics is a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13.

7. GDPR Compliance

Since we do not collect, process, or store any personal data on our servers, GDPR compliance is inherently satisfied for data processing. All user data (pet profiles) resides on the user's device and is never transmitted to us. There is no "data controller" relationship for pet profile data because we never receive or access it.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
