Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 24, 2026.

This Privacy Policy explains what information SweetPets collects when you visit the site, what it is used for, who it is shared with, and what your rights are.

Who is responsible

The party responsible for processing data on this site is SweetPets, a website with informational content about dogs and cats. For anything about privacy or your data, contact us at [email protected]. We reply within 15 days.

Information we collect

SweetPets does not ask you to sign up and has no login area. We do not ask for your name, your CPF (the Brazilian taxpayer number), your address, or any payment details.

When you visit the site, some technical information is collected automatically by the services that keep the site online:

• IP address, browser type, and device operating system;
• pages visited, and the date and time of the visit;
• the page you came from, such as a Google search.

If you write to us by email, we receive your email address and whatever you wrote.

What we use it for and the legal basis

• Keeping the site online and protecting it from attacks: technical access data, based on our legitimate interest in running a secure, working site.
• Remembering the language you chose: a preference cookie, which is necessary for that feature.
• Replying to your messages: your email address and what you wrote, based on your request to contact us.
• Showing ads, when there are any: browsing data and advertising cookies, based on your consent where the law requires it, as explained below.

We do not sell personal data and we do not make automated decisions about you.

Cookies

Cookies are small files stored in your browser. SweetPets uses:

• Language preference cookie (lingua): stores the language you picked in the selector for up to 1 year. It does not identify you.
• Advertising cookies: only when the site shows ads, as explained below.

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Some features, such as remembering your chosen language, may stop working.

Advertising and Google AdSense

SweetPets may show Google AdSense ads. About that:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this and other websites.
• The use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to SweetPets and other sites on the internet.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party cookies used for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• To learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

When ads are shown, readers in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland will see a consent notice before any advertising cookie is set, with options to accept or decline. You can change your choice at any time through the same notice.

Who we share data with

• Cloudflare: hosts the site and protects it from attacks; it processes technical access data.
• Google: shows the ads, when there are any, and receives the data described in the advertising section.
• Google (Gmail): stores the messages sent to our email address.

These services are located outside Brazil, mainly in the United States. The transfer takes place under the contractual safeguards these vendors offer all of their customers, such as the standard contractual clauses accepted under Brazilian and European law.

How long we keep it

• Technical access data: for the period set by Cloudflare for the security and operation of the site; we do not use it to identify visitors.
• Language cookie: up to 1 year, or until you delete it.
• Email messages: up to 2 years after the last exchange of messages, unless you ask us to delete them sooner.

Your rights

Under Brazil's General Data Protection Law (LGPD), the EU and EEA General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended (CCPA/CPRA), Canada's PIPEDA, Australia's Privacy Act 1988, and the privacy laws of the state or country where you live, you may, depending on where you live:

• confirm whether we hold data about you and get access to it;
• correct incomplete or wrong data;
• ask for it to be deleted, blocked, or anonymized;
• ask for your data to be portable;
• find out who it has been shared with;
• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting what was done before;
• object to a type of processing.

For any request, write to [email protected]. If you are not satisfied with our reply, you can complain to Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD), to the data protection authority of your country (in the EU and EEA, the national data protection authority where you live; in the United Kingdom, the ICO; in Canada, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada; in Australia, the OAIC), or, under the CCPA/CPRA, to the California privacy authorities, or to the privacy authority of your state or country.

Links to other sites

Articles may link to other sites, such as research sources or stores. We do not control those sites, and they have their own privacy policies. Some links may be affiliate links: when that is the case, the article says so.

Children

SweetPets is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.
