Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how pet-safe-plant-checker.hub2.day (“the site”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you visit or interact with the site. The site is a searchable reference for pet toxicity ratings, symptom descriptions, and safer plant alternatives. It is not a veterinary service, and it does not provide medical advice.

By using the site, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the site.

Who We Are

The site is operated publicly under the domain pet-safe-plant-checker.hub2.day. For privacy questions, contact us at hello@pet-safe-plant-checker.hub2.day.

Information We Collect

We collect only what is needed to run the site, keep it secure, and show non-personalized or personalized advertising where applicable.

1. Browser-local inputs

Search queries, filters, and any notes you enter while using the plant checker may be stored locally in your browser (for example, via localStorage or sessionStorage). This data stays on your device unless you choose to share it. We do not receive or store these inputs on our servers unless you explicitly send them to us (for example, by email).

2. Contact email

If you email hello@pet-safe-plant-checker.hub2.day, we will receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your request and to keep a record of the communication for follow-up. We do not use contact emails for marketing unless you have separately agreed to that.

3. Server and security logs

Our hosting provider may automatically log technical information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, timestamps, and error responses. These logs are used for security, abuse prevention, debugging, and basic performance monitoring.

4. Cookies and local storage

The site may use cookies and similar technologies for:

• remembering your consent choices for advertising and analytics;
• keeping the site functional (for example, remembering UI preferences);
• delivering and measuring advertisements, including via Google AdSense.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before using non-essential cookies or similar technologies.

5. Google AdSense and advertising

The site uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to:

• serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other sites (personalized advertising), where you have consented; or
• serve non-personalized ads using contextual information and limited data, where permitted.

Google may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and interactions with ads. For details, see Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s information about advertising.

You can manage your ad personalization settings at adssettings.google.com or, where available, via the consent tool presented on the site.

Legal Bases and Consent (GDPR / EEA / UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar laws, we rely on the following legal bases where applicable:

• Consent: for non-essential cookies, personalized advertising, and similar technologies.
• Legitimate interests: for security logs, basic site operation, and non-personalized advertising, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Contractual necessity: to respond to your direct requests (for example, emails you send us).

You may withdraw consent at any time by using the cookie/consent controls on the site or by contacting us at hello@pet-safe-plant-checker.hub2.day. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Your Rights (GDPR / EEA / UK)

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• access personal data we hold about you;
• request correction or deletion of that data;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to processing, including for direct marketing;
• request data portability;
• lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@pet-safe-plant-checker.hub2.day. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

CCPA / CPRA-Style Choices (California and Similar Jurisdictions)

If you are a California resident (or in another jurisdiction with similar rights), you may have the right to:

• know what personal information is collected and how it is used;
• request deletion of personal information;
• opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, as defined by applicable law;
• non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. Where Google AdSense or similar services may be considered “sharing” under certain laws, you can opt out by using the consent controls on the site or by contacting us at hello@pet-safe-plant-checker.hub2.day.

Service Providers

We use third-party service providers for hosting, security, analytics, and advertising. These providers may process data on our behalf and are expected to handle it in accordance with applicable law and our instructions. Examples include:

• hosting and infrastructure providers;
• Google (for AdSense and related advertising services).

We do not share your personal information with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Server/security logs: typically for a short period (for example, 30–90 days), unless longer retention is needed for security or legal reasons.
• Contact emails: as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record-keeping.
• Consent records: as long as needed to demonstrate compliance with consent requirements.
• Browser-local data: until you clear your browser storage or the site removes it.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us at hello@pet-safe-plant-checker.hub2.day so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure. Use the site at your own risk and take care with any information you choose to share.

Third-Party Links

The site may link to external websites, databases, or resources (for example, botanical references or veterinary organizations). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Their own policies will apply once you leave this site.

International Processing

The site may be hosted in a country different from your own. By using the site, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in that country, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction. We rely on appropriate safeguards where required.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
