Privacy Policy

PetTrueCost ("we", "our", "the site") provides a free Canadian pet ownership cost calculator at pettruecost.online. This policy explains what information is collected when you use the site and how it is used.

Information We Collect

The calculator itself runs entirely in your browser. Your selections (pet type, breed, city, diet tier, insurance choice, and similar preferences) are not sent to our servers — they exist only in your browser's memory for the current session, plus a small saved theme preference stored in your browser's local storage.

We do not require account creation, and we do not collect names, addresses, or payment information.

Cookies & Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic patterns — for example, how many people visit, which pages are popular, and what general region or device type visitors use. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies, and may collect your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. This data is processed by Google under its own privacy policy.

Advertising

This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or generally at aboutads.info.

Third-Party Links

This site may link out to third-party services (such as pet insurance providers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites you visit from links here.

Children's Privacy

PetTrueCost is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
