Privacy policy
Last updated: November 15, 2026
In short:
- You don't need an account, and we don't ask for personal details to use the site.
- We count visits with privacy-friendly analytics that don't use cookies.
- If you email us, we use your details only to reply.
- We don't sell your personal information.
Who we are
This policy covers PetPlateCheck.com ("PetPlateCheck", "we", "us"), an information website about which foods are safe for dogs and cats. You can reach us at info@petplatecheck.com.
Information we collect
- Visit statistics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages are popular. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't build a profile of you and doesn't track you across other websites.
- Technical data. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes basic technical information such as your IP address and browser type to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.
- Messages you send us. Our contact form doesn't store anything on our servers. It prepares an email in your own email app, and you choose whether to send it. If you do, we receive what you wrote, such as your name, email address, whether you have a dog or a cat, and your message.
- Search on our site. The food search runs in your browser. We don't store what you type.
How we use information
- To reply to your message.
- To fix mistakes and decide which foods to cover next.
- To understand how the site is used and keep it fast and secure.
We don't sell or rent your personal information, and we don't use it for marketing emails.
Cookies
PetPlateCheck doesn't currently set any cookies, for tracking, advertising or anything else. If that changes (see Advertising below), we'll update this section.
Advertising
We may show ads in the future, for example through Google AdSense. If we do, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You'll be able to opt out of personalised ads in Google's Ads Settings. We'll update this policy, and ask for consent where the law requires it, before ads go live.
Links to other websites
Our pages link to other organisations, such as the ASPCA and the American Kennel Club. Their privacy practices are their own, so please read their policies when you visit them.
How long we keep information
We keep emails only as long as we need them to answer you and to keep a record of corrections, and then delete them. Analytics data is kept in summary form.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to correct it or to have it deleted. Email info@petplatecheck.com and we'll respond within a reasonable time.
Children
PetPlateCheck is a general-audience site and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you think a child has sent us their details, please contact us and we'll delete them.
Security
The site is served over a secure (HTTPS) connection. No method of sending information over the internet is completely secure, so please don't include sensitive personal details in your messages.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
