Privacy Policy
Most of FindYourLostPets runs entirely in your browser. Here's what that means in practice, and the limited ways data is handled when you use this service.
Most of FindYourLostPets runs entirely in your browser. Your pet data stays on your device. This policy explains what that means in practice and the limited ways data is handled when you use this service.
Your pet data
When you create a pet profile, everything you enter, including your pet's name, description, photos, and your contact information, is stored in your browser using IndexedDB, a standard browser storage technology. This data is never transmitted to FindYourLostPets servers. We have no access to it. Deleting your browser data or using the app's built-in reset function removes it permanently.
Apple's Safari browser on iOS applies a policy called Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) that automatically deletes locally stored website data, including your pet profiles and photos, if the website hasn't been visited in 7 or more days. This happens silently, without warning. We cannot override this behaviour.
If you use an iPhone or iPad: export a backup file after every session and restore it when you return. The Export backup button is always available in the app header.
Third-party services
Cloudflare: This website is hosted on Cloudflare's infrastructure. Standard server request data (IP address, browser type, request timestamp) is processed by Cloudflare as part of normal hosting operations. We receive only aggregate traffic data and do not access individual request logs. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for details.
Google Fonts: This site loads typefaces from Google Fonts. When you visit, your browser makes a request to Google's servers to retrieve those fonts. Standard request data (including your IP address) is sent to Google as a result. See Google's privacy policy for details.
Google Analytics 4 (only if you accept): we use it to count visits and see which pages are used. It loads only after you click Accept on the consent banner; until then no Google analytics request is made and no analytics cookie is set. IP anonymisation is on. Your pet profiles, photos and contact details are never sent to it. See our cookie policy for the cookies it sets.
What we don't do
We do not create user accounts. We do not use advertising. We do not sell data to third parties. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. The only optional analytics is Google Analytics 4, and only after you accept it.
Future changes
Planned features, including sighting reports, which allow people who spot your pet to submit their location and contact details, will require some data to be stored on our servers. When those features are introduced, this policy will be updated before they launch and a notice will be shown in the app.
Your rights
Because your pet data lives in your browser, you control it completely. Export it at any time using the Export backup feature. Delete it at any time by clearing your browser's site data or using the app's Reset function.
Children
This service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Governing law
This service is operated from Pennsylvania, United States. These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Who operates this site
This site is operated by Unsupervised Media, a Pennsylvania company. Mailing address: 3401 Hartzdale Drive, Suite 103B, Unit #729, Camp Hill, PA 17011, United States.
Additional privacy rights (California and EU/UK)
You can ask us what personal information we hold about you, ask for a copy, and ask us to correct or delete it. Email contact@findyourlostpets.com and we will respond within 30 days. We may need to confirm that the request comes from you.
California residents (CCPA/CPRA) have the right to know, delete and correct personal information, to opt out of its sale or sharing, and not to be treated differently for using those rights. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of; analytics runs only if you opt in through the cookie banner.
If you are in the EU or UK (GDPR), you also have the right to data portability, to restrict or object to processing, to withdraw consent at any time (decline the banner or clear this site’s browser storage), and to complain to your local data protection authority. We process data on the basis of your consent (analytics) and our legitimate interest in running and securing the site.
