Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 24, 2026
This page explains, in plain language, what PawCalcHub does and does not do with information when you visit this site and use its calculators. It describes our actual current practices — not a generic template.
Overview
This Privacy Policy covers pawcalchub.com and the free pet nutrition calculators, feeding guides, and educational content published here. It does not cover any third-party site you reach by following a link from PawCalcHub — those sites have their own privacy practices.
Information You Provide
PawCalcHub does not currently have user accounts, a login system, a contact form, or a newsletter sign-up. Comments are turned off on every page of the site. As a result, the site itself does not collect names, email addresses, comments, or account information through any form, comment box, or account system.
This is different from email you choose to send us. If you write to the address on our Contact page, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message through your own email service, not through a form on this site. Please do not include sensitive personal information in your message.
Calculator Inputs
Every calculator on PawCalcHub — including the calorie, RER, feeding-amount, water-intake, and dry-matter tools — runs entirely in your own browser using JavaScript. When you enter a value, such as your pet’s weight or a food’s label information, that value is used immediately to compute a result on your device. We have checked the calculator code, and it does not send the numbers you enter to PawCalcHub’s servers or to any third party. If you refresh the page or close your browser, the values you entered are gone; we do not store them.
Automatically Collected Technical Information
Like most websites, the server that hosts PawCalcHub (through our hosting provider) may automatically log standard technical information when a page is requested, such as IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, and the date and time of the request. This is typical, general-purpose web server and security logging, not information PawCalcHub specifically collects about you as an individual, and we do not use it to build a personal profile.
Cookies and Local Technologies
PawCalcHub does not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking. Because comments and accounts are not active on this site, the cookies WordPress normally sets for commenting or logging in are not set for ordinary visitors. Our hosting and caching infrastructure (including LiteSpeed Cache) may use technical cookies or similar local storage needed to serve pages correctly and efficiently; these are functional in nature, not used to track you across other websites. Google Analytics may also set analytics cookies in your browser; these are used to measure site usage, not for advertising.
Third-Party Services
PawCalcHub is hosted on Hostinger, and a small number of Hostinger-provided scripts and services run as part of that hosting relationship, including a script associated with Hostinger’s “Reach” email-marketing integration. This integration is installed but PawCalcHub does not currently run an active newsletter sign-up form, so it is not currently used to collect your email address through this site. As with any third-party script, it may be able to see standard technical request information as described above; we encourage you to review Hostinger’s own privacy policy for details of what their infrastructure and services do.
PawCalcHub does not currently use Google AdSense, Facebook/Meta Pixel, or any other advertising script that we are aware of. It does use Google Analytics (see the Analytics section below) and Google Search Console. If advertising is added, this policy will be updated first.
Embedded Content and External Links
Some pages link out to external sources we reference for our calculators and guides, such as the Merck Veterinary Manual, the National Research Council, Tufts Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, and others listed on our Sources & References page. Following one of these links takes you to a site outside PawCalcHub’s control, governed by that site’s own privacy policy, not this one.
Analytics
PawCalcHub uses Google Analytics 4, set up through the Google Site Kit plugin, to understand in aggregate which pages and calculators are used. Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar technologies and collects information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type, and how visitors arrived at the site. We do not use it to identify individual visitors. You can learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. We also use Google Search Console to monitor how the site appears in Google Search.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
PawCalcHub does not currently run advertising (including Google AdSense) or participate in affiliate programs. If advertising, affiliate links, or sponsorships are introduced in the future, we intend to disclose them clearly and update this policy and our Editorial Policy at that time. Nothing on the site today should be read as an affiliate or sponsored link.
Data Retention
Because PawCalcHub does not currently collect personal information through accounts, comments, or forms, there is no personal data of that kind for us to retain or delete on request. General server/technical logs, where they exist, are handled according to our hosting provider’s standard practices rather than a fixed retention period we set ourselves.
Data Security
We take reasonable, standard precautions to help keep this site running securely, such as relying on our hosting provider’s infrastructure and keeping software up to date. No website can guarantee absolute security, and we don’t claim one.
Children’s Privacy
PawCalcHub is a general-audience educational website about pet nutrition. It is not directed at children, and it is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the site does not have forms, accounts, or comments, it does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, through the site itself.
Your Privacy Choices
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, and you’re welcome to do so — PawCalcHub’s calculators do not rely on cookies to function. If you’d prefer not to load the third-party script described above, browser extensions that block third-party scripts will generally do that; this may not affect how the calculators themselves work, since they run independently in your browser.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
As PawCalcHub adds new features — such as analytics, advertising, or a newsletter — this page will be updated to reflect what is actually active, with the “Last updated” date above changed accordingly. We recommend checking back periodically if you have privacy questions.
Contact / Questions
