Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

Overview

MatchingPetNames.com ("we", "us", or "our") is operated by Vanilabs. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our site. We keep it simple because we collect very little.

Data We Collect

We do not collect personal information directly. The data we may have access to includes:

• Saved preferences: Your saved name pairs are stored in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to us.
• Usage analytics: We may use anonymized, aggregated data (page views, country of origin) via Cloudflare analytics. No personally identifiable information is captured.
• Advertising data: Google AdSense may collect data as described below.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads on this site. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other websites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out by visiting aboutads.info.

Cookies

We do not set first-party cookies. Third-party cookies may be set by Google AdSense for advertising purposes as described above. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

CCPA — California Residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal data is collected about them
• Request deletion of their personal data
• Opt out of the sale of their personal data

We do not sell personal data. Since all saved data is stored locally on your device, you can delete it by clearing your browser's localStorage at any time. For any questions, contact us at privacy@vanilabs.co.

GDPR — European Residents

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data. You also have the right to restrict or object to certain processing of your data.

Our lawful basis for processing any data is legitimate interest (site analytics) and consent (advertising cookies via AdSense). You may withdraw consent at any time by adjusting your browser's cookie settings or visiting Google's opt-out page.
