Privacy and cookie information

Information entered into the calculator

Pet names, food choices, portions and prices are processed in the browser to produce the displayed calculations. PetPence does not transmit those entries unless the user deliberately creates an email reminder or, after signing in, chooses to save device data to their account.

Optional account and saved records

PetPence does not create or store a password. Email-first account access uses a secure Supabase passwordless magic link delivered through the verified PetPence email domain. ChatGPT sign-in remains an optional secondary method. When a signed-in user selects Save this device data, PetPence stores the account email, display name, pet and food plan state, confirmed purchases, saved price snapshots, alerts and reorder settings. Account data is separated by the authenticated user identity.

Signed-in users can export their saved data as JSON or delete the server copy from the Account page. Deleting server data does not silently erase browser-local data; the user controls that device storage separately.

Authentication is separate from communication consent. Signing in does not automatically opt a user into Deal Alerts, Reorder Planner emails or marketing. Those preferences are stored only after an explicit choice.

Device storage

Selecting Save uses browser local storage on that device. This may include the pet name, selected foods, entered prices, retailer entries and, when used, the private email reminder-management token. The information remains until it is replaced or the user clears the browser’s site data. PetPence cannot use local storage from another device.

Email reorder reminders

Email reminders are offered only when PetPence has a working delivery service connected. When a user deliberately creates one, PetPence stores the email address, pet name, selected food, food type, retailer, expected run-out date and reminder timing. A random private token connects the message to the saved reorder page. PetPence does not request or store a phone number.

The email address is used only to deliver the requested reorder reminder and is not added to a marketing list. A delivered or expired reminder is retained for up to 90 days so it can be managed or rescheduled, then removed. Active reminders remain until delivery or until the user removes them. Selecting Remove reminder deletes that reminder record.

Calendar reminders

Add to calendar creates a calendar file in the browser using the feeding and reminder details displayed on screen. PetPence does not send that file to a PetPence database. The user chooses whether to add it to their own calendar application.

Cookies and analytics

PetPence offers optional Google Analytics 4 measurement only after the user chooses to allow it. Analytics is configured without Google Signals or advertising personalisation, and PetPence does not send email addresses, pet names, account identifiers, postcodes or phone numbers as event data. A declined choice is respected. Essential technical information may still be processed by the hosting service to deliver, secure and diagnose the website.

External websites

Veterinary sources, retailer searches and the emergency-vet search open third-party websites. A postcode entered into the vet finder is not saved by PetPence; it is included in the Google Maps search only after the user selects Search now. Those organisations apply their own privacy, cookie and purchasing policies.

Retailer product feeds and affiliate destinations

Wilko product, price, stock and exact affiliate-destination data can be received from Awin on PetPence servers. The private Product Feed List address is not sent to the browser. PetPence stores validation, refresh and active-snapshot status so a failed import does not replace the last valid retailer snapshot.

Contact and privacy requests

Use the Account page to export or delete server-saved data. General enquiries can be sent through the contact route published on PetPence. Calendar reminders remain local to the user's chosen calendar app.
