Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 23, 2026

PawfullyHonest ("we," "us," or "the Site") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit PawfullyHonest.com and how that information is used. By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

PawfullyHonest does not collect personal information directly from visitors. We do not have:

• User accounts, registration, or login systems
• Contact forms, comment sections, or email subscription forms
• E-commerce or payment processing
• User-generated content features

We do not ask for, store, or process your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit PawfullyHonest, certain non-personal information is collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies used by our analytics and advertising partners.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our Site. Google Analytics collects:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website or search engine
• Browser type and version
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• General geographic location (city/country level, not precise location)
• Screen resolution and operating system

This data is aggregated and anonymized. We use it solely to understand traffic patterns and improve our content. Google Analytics uses cookies to identify returning visitors without collecting personally identifiable information. You can learn more about Google's data practices at Google's Privacy Policy and opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on.

Adsterra Advertising

We display advertisements on our Site through Adsterra, a third-party advertising network. Adsterra and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to:

• Serve advertisements relevant to your interests
• Measure ad performance and impressions
• Limit the number of times you see a particular ad
• Track browsing activity across websites to deliver targeted advertising

Adsterra's ad units on our Site include display banners (728x90, 300x250, 160x600) and the Social Bar notification widget. For more information about Adsterra's data practices, visit Adsterra's Privacy Policy.

3. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. PawfullyHonest uses the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies

These are required for basic site functionality such as remembering your navigation preferences. They do not collect personal data.

Analytics Cookies

Set by Google Analytics to track page views, session duration, and traffic sources. These cookies include _ga and _ga_* identifiers that distinguish unique visitors without identifying them personally.

Advertising Cookies

Set by Adsterra and its advertising partners to deliver and measure advertisements. These cookies may track your browsing activity across multiple websites to serve relevant ads.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, view which cookies are stored, and set preferences for individual websites. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on the Site. Common browser cookie settings:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies
• Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and Site Permissions

4. Third-Party Links

Our Site contains links to external websites, including product pages, veterinary resources, and other pet-related sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any website you visit through links on our Site.

5. Affiliate Links

Some links on PawfullyHonest are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, the affiliate network may use cookies to track the referral. These cookies are set by the affiliate network (not by PawfullyHonest) and are subject to that network's privacy policy. We do not receive any personal information about you from affiliate transactions — only confirmation that a purchase was made through our referral link.

6. Children's Privacy

PawfullyHonest is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we do not collect personal information from any visitors, there is no risk of inadvertent collection of children's data through our Site. However, third-party advertising partners may set cookies that track browsing behavior. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has been exposed to inappropriate advertising content through our Site, please contact us.

7. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, you have specific rights regarding your data:

For EEA Residents (GDPR)

• Right to access: You can request information about data collected about you
• Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your data
• Right to object: You can object to data processing for advertising purposes
• Right to restrict processing: You can request limits on how your data is used

Since PawfullyHonest does not directly collect personal data, these rights primarily apply to data collected by our third-party partners (Google Analytics and Adsterra). You can exercise these rights by using the opt-out tools referenced above or by contacting the respective third parties directly.

For California Residents (CCPA)

• Right to know: You can request disclosure of the categories of information collected
• Right to delete: You can request deletion of your information
• Right to opt out: You can opt out of the sale of personal information

PawfullyHonest does not sell personal information. Third-party advertising cookies may constitute a "sale" under the CCPA's broad definition. You can opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting NAI's opt-out page or DAA's opt-out page.

8. Data Security

PawfullyHonest is served over HTTPS, which encrypts data transmitted between your browser and our servers. While we take reasonable steps to protect the information associated with your visit, no internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of any data transmitted to or from the Site.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
