Privacy Policy & Cookie Disclosures

PawTrusty is designed as a free, public consumer safety directory. You are never required to create an account, register personal credentials, or provide payment details to access our pet food recall database, brand dossiers, breed guides, or veterinary calculators.

• Passive Server Logs: Like virtually all web servers, our edge hosting providers (Cloudflare, Vercel) automatically record standard technical log data such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, time of visit, and operating system for cybersecurity and DDoS mitigation.
• Direct Communications: If you voluntarily reach out via our contact form or email, we collect your name, email address, and message contents strictly to answer your safety inquiry or report correction.
• Calculator Inputs: All numerical inputs entered into our calculators (pet weights, ages, food caloric counts) are computed locally in your web browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our database.

If you reside within the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you are entitled to statutory data protection rights under the GDPR, including:

• The right to access, update, or delete information we hold on you.
• The right of rectification if your information is inaccurate or incomplete.
• The right to object to our processing of your personal data.
• The right to data portability and restriction of processing.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have specific privacy rights. PawTrusty does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for monetary consideration. California consumers may request disclosures regarding any data collected or request permanent deletion of contact inquiries by reaching out to us.

PawTrusty does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.

Our website links extensively to official public safety regulatory portals, including the United States FDA (fda.gov), Canadian Food Inspection Agency (inspection.canada.ca), United Kingdom Food Standards Agency (food.gov.uk), and Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (recalls.gov.au). We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites.
