Privacy Policy

PawPickList is an independent pet product guide. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when visitors use our website.

Who we are

Our website address is: https://pawpicklist.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.

An anonymized string created from your email address, also called a hash, may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie may be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, cookies may be set to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies may last for several days, and screen options cookies may last longer. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited.

Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use PawPickList, including which pages are visited, how users interact with the site, and general traffic patterns.

This information helps us improve our content, user experience, and website performance.

Affiliate links

Some pages on PawPickList may contain affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate partners may use cookies or tracking technologies to attribute sales and commissions.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content, such as videos, images, articles, product widgets, or social media content.

Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content.

Who we share your data with

We do not sell personal information.

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email.

Some data may be processed by third-party services used for website functionality, analytics, spam protection, affiliate tracking, or security.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata may be retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, if any, we may store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.

You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, security, or compliance purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Some visitor data may also be processed by third-party tools used for analytics, affiliate tracking, website performance, or security.
