Privacy Policy
What information the site collects, how I use it, and the choices you have.
Effective November 8, 2026.
Overview
Dog Calorie Calculator is a free website with a dog calorie calculator. This policy explains what information I collect, how I use it, who I share it with, and the choices you have. By using the site, you agree to this policy.
Information I collect
Calculator entries
Your entries stay in your browser. The calculator does not send weight, age, or other inputs to my server, and it does not keep them after you leave the page. Printable reports open in a new window on your own device.
Contact form and email
If you write to me, I receive your name, email address, topic, and message. I use them only to reply to you and to improve the site. I don't sell them or add them to a mailing list.
Usage and device information
Like most websites, the site and its service providers automatically receive technical data such as your IP address, browser, device type, approximate location, pages viewed, and the time of your visit.
Google Analytics
I use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages people use. Google sets cookies or similar identifiers to do this. I use the reports to improve the site. You can block this tracking in your browser settings or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. Google explains how it handles data on its partner sites page.
Advertising and third-party partners
I may show ads on the site, and the ads may be provided by third-party advertising partners and ad management providers. These partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see them, measure performance, and, where permitted, show ads based on your interests. They may collect information such as your IP address, browser, device type, and pages viewed. I don't control these partners' cookies, and their use of the data is covered by their own privacy policies.
You can opt out of interest-based advertising through Google Ads Settings, the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out, or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out. You can also change your browser settings. Opting out doesn't remove ads. It makes them less tailored to you.
Google Fonts
Pages load fonts from Google. Google receives your IP address when this happens.
How I use information
- To run, secure, and maintain the site
- To understand how the site is used and to improve the calculator and its content
- To respond to messages and correction requests
- To show and measure advertising
- To meet legal obligations and prevent abuse
Who I share information with
I share information only with service providers that help me run the site, such as hosting, analytics, and advertising partners, and when the law requires it. I don't sell your contact details.
How long I keep information
I keep contact messages for as long as I need them to respond and keep records. Analytics and advertising data are kept according to the settings and policies of those providers.
Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain uses, and to opt out of targeted advertising or the sharing of your data for advertising. Laws in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and several US states, including California, give these rights. To make a request, contact me, and I'll respond. If I show a consent banner, I'll honor your selection.
International visitors
My service providers may process information in countries other than your own. By using the site, you understand that your information may be transferred and processed there.
Security
I use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website or transmission is completely secure, so I can't guarantee absolute security.
Links to other sites
The site links to outside pages, such as veterinary organizations and Google's privacy tools. I'm not responsible for their privacy practices or content.
Changes
If I change this policy, I'll update the date at the top of the page.
