PupGrowth Privacy Policy: Our Data Stewardship and Privacy Commitments
Welcome to PupGrowth. Protecting the privacy of our visitors is one of our primary commitments. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect, record, and utilize, as well as our strict practices regarding data handling for all of our puppy growth, nutrition, and health calculators.
Core Principle: Zero Pet Data Retention
We believe in absolute data privacy. When you input your puppy's physical traits, parameters, name, breed, weight, height, or age into any of our calculators, all mathematical computations are performed locally inside your web browser. We do not save, store, or transmit your puppy's physical traits or identity to our servers. Your pet's information remains entirely temporary, private, and secure within your session. For details on tool usage liability and boundaries, please refer to our Disclaimer.

- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
- Browser type and version.
- Internet Service Provider (ISP).
- Date and time stamps.
- Referring and exit pages.
- The number of clicks during your session.
This data is not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of collecting this information is for analyzing traffic trends, administering the website, tracking user movement on the website, and gathering demographic information to optimize layout and performance.
