Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 17, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Argos Paws ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit argospaws.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide directly
Our free tools (the Puppy Weight Predictor and Dog Food Cost Calculator) run entirely in your browser. Any values you enter — weight, age, food price, and similar — are used only to calculate your result on your device and are never sent to, or stored on, our servers.
If we add a contact form, comment section, or newsletter sign-up in the future, we will collect only what's needed to respond to you or send what you asked for (e.g., name and email address), and will update this policy before doing so.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we may automatically collect standard technical information when you visit: your approximate location (city/country level, derived from IP address), browser type, device type, pages visited, and how you arrived at the Site (e.g., search engine, direct link). This is collected through analytics tools and server logs and is used in aggregate — it is not used to identify you personally.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for two purposes:
- Analytics — to understand which pages and tools are useful so we can improve the Site.
- Affiliate tracking — when you click an outbound affiliate link (for example, to an insurance quote page or a retailer), our affiliate partner's own cookie is set on your browser so they can attribute the referral to Argos Paws. This is how we earn a commission or referral fee, and it does not cost you anything extra.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Doing so may prevent affiliate partners from crediting a referral to us, but it won't affect your ability to use our free calculators.
3. Third-party links and services
Affiliate and outbound links take you to third-party websites (such as insurance providers, retailers, or brand sites) that we do not control and that have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review a site's privacy policy before entering any personal or payment information there. See ourAffiliate Disclosure for more on how these relationships work.
4. How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our tools
- Understand aggregate traffic and content performance
- Attribute affiliate referrals accurately to our partners
- Respond to inquiries, if you contact us directly
We do not sell your personal information.
5. Children's privacy
Argos Paws is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
6. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or limit the use of personal information we hold about you (for example, under the California Consumer Privacy Act or the EU/UK GDPR). Because our tools process your inputs locally and we collect only limited automatic data as described above, most requests can be resolved simply by clearing your browser's cookies. For any other request, contact us using the details below.
7. Data retention and security
We retain aggregate analytics data only as long as needed to understand trends over time, and we use reasonable technical measures to protect any information we do hold. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
9. Contact us
If you have questions about this policy or how your information is handled, contact us at[email protected].
