Third-Party Services
Amazon Associates
We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click affiliate links on our site and make purchases on Amazon, Amazon may collect information about your browsing and purchasing behavior in accordance with their own privacy policy. We receive only anonymized, aggregated reports about clicks and sales — we never see your personal purchase details.
Petfinder API
Our adoption page uses the Petfinder API to display adoptable animals. When you search for cats, your search query (such as a zip code) is sent to Petfinder's servers. Please refer to Petfinder's privacy policy for details on how they handle data.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand site traffic. We do not use invasive tracking, fingerprinting, or sell data to third parties.
Cookies
Our site may use essential cookies for basic site functionality. Third-party services (such as Amazon) may set their own cookies when you interact with affiliate links. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings.
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except as described in this policy (i.e., through standard third-party service integrations like analytics and affiliate programs).
Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
