What we collect, what we never collect

This site is designed to collect as little as possible. We do not require accounts, we do not run comment systems, and we do not ask for names, addresses or payment details. Standard, anonymized server logs (page URL, browser type, referrer, approximate region and timestamp) are retained for security and traffic statistics only.

If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to include — typically your address and message. Correspondence is used solely to reply, correct errors or consider review suggestions, and is never sold, rented or shared with marketers.

We use a minimal set of cookies: functional cookies that keep the site working, and privacy-respecting analytics that aggregate page views without building individual profiles.

Affiliate links to Amazon.com carry our associate tag. When you click one, Amazon may set its own cookies to attribute the referral — that tracking is governed by Amazon's privacy policy, not ours. We never receive personal data from these clicks; only anonymized commission reports (item, amount, date).

Outbound links to retailers follow the privacy practices of their respective owners; we encourage you to read their policies.

You control the small data surface we touch: block cookies in your browser settings, use any ad blocker you like, or browse with Do Not Track enabled — every feature of this site works regardless. To request deletion of correspondence or ask privacy questions, email privacy@pawstimate.com and a human will answer within one business day.
