How to Feed My Pet

Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 12, 2026

This policy explains what happens to your data when you use howtofeedmypet.com. The short version: the calculators run entirely in your browser, there are no accounts, and we don't run our own server that stores what you type in.

The calculators themselves

Your pet's weight, body condition, activity level, and every other calculator input are processed locally in your browser and are never sent to us or stored on any server we operate. If you upload a photo of your pet to personalize a share card, that photo is also read and drawn entirely in your browser — it is never uploaded anywhere.

Some of it is kept on your device between visits, and some is not. Specifically:

  • Calculator inputs and your pet's photo are not saved. Closing the tab or refreshing clears them.
  • Weight log entries and your kg/lb preference are saved in your browser's local storage, so they survive closing the tab. They stay on that device — we never receive them, and they do not follow you to another browser or phone.

To remove saved weight entries, use the delete control in the weight tracker, or clear this site's data in your browser settings. Clearing browser data removes the log permanently and we cannot recover it, so export the JSON backup first if you want to keep it.

Analytics is separate from all of the above and is described in the next section.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic — for example, which pages are visited and roughly where from. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as your approximate location, device and browser type, and pages viewed. We don't use this to identify individual visitors. You can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. We also record feature actions, such as starting the calculator, viewing an updated result, opening or downloading a share card, saving a weight record, changing language, and navigating or scrolling through guides. These custom events do not include pet names, photos, captions, entered weights, food quantities, or weight-record contents.

Advertising

This site may show ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can review or opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings, or generally at aboutads.info.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site may be affiliate links (see the Affiliate Disclosure). Clicking one may set a cookie on the destination site (for example, Amazon) so that a purchase can be attributed to this site — that cookie is set and controlled by the destination site, not by us.

Browser storage

This site may use your browser's local storage to remember small preferences (like a previously entered value) so you don't have to re-enter them. This data stays on your device and isn't sent to us.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
