Privacy Policy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://animalreport.net.

At AnimalReport.net, we are committed to maintaining the trust and confidence of all visitors to our website. We want to inform you that AnimalReport.net is not in the business of selling, renting, or trading email lists with other companies and businesses for marketing purposes.

AnimaReport.net provides a “Service”. Throughout this Privacy Policy, we’ll refer to our website as “Service.”

We only collect information about you if we have a reason to do so–for example, to provide our Service, to communicate with you, or to make our Service better. Below we explain how we collect, use, and share information about you, along with your choices concerning that information.

If you choose to use our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information we collect is used to provide and improve the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

We take your privacy seriously and take measures to provide all visitors and users of AnimalReport.net with a safe and secure environment.

What Personal Data We Collect And Why We Collect It

Log Data

We want to inform you that whenever you visit our Service, we collect information that your browser sends to us, which is called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser version, pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics.

In addition, we have enabled Google Signals, which uses Google’s signed-in data including user location, search history, YouTube history, and data from sites that partner with Google. This is used to provide aggregated and anonymized insights into cross-device behaviors of our users

Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. AnimalReport.net may set and access AnimalReport.net cookies on your computer. Cookies are used to provide our system with the basic information to provide the services you are requesting.  Cookies can be cleared at any time from your internet browser settings.

When you first visit AnimalReport.net, you are presented with the cookie notice. If you press “OK” or continue to use the Service, you agree that you are fine with collecting such data.

Comments

When someone visits AnimalReport.net, there may be an ability to submit comments on particular articles or pages. When submitting comments, you are entitled to use aliases or information that completely hides your identity. The relevant details you provided (name, email) are stored when a comment is submitted. These details are stored so that we can display your comment to you and anyone viewing the comment sections on the site. We do not verify the information entered, nor do we require verification.

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact forms

If you submit information through our contact form at https://animalreport.net/contact-us/, we will use this information for a certain period of time for visitor service purposes, but we do not use the information submitted for marketing purposes to identify or contact you.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Google Analytics

When someone visits AnimalReport.net, we use a third-party service, Google Analytics, which now includes Google Signals. Google Signals provides additional insights using Google’s signed-in data for better understanding of customer behaviors across devices. It collects standard internet log information and details of visitor behavior patterns. We do this to track things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the site and interactions with the site. This information is processed in a way that does not identify anyone. We do not make and do not allow Google to make any attempt to find out the identities of visitors to our website.

Who we share your data with

Third Parties

There may be circumstances where your IP address, geographic location, and other browser-related details, as well as Google’s signed-in data including user location, search history, YouTube history, and data from sites that partner with Google may be shared with third-party companies. We may share your above-mentioned data with the following third-party companies from time to time.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons:

  • To facilitate our Service;
  • To provide the Service on our behalf;
  • To perform Service-related services; or
  • To assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

We want to inform our Service users that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

How long we retain your data

The comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely if you leave a comment. This is so we can automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Access to Your Personal Information

You are entitled to view, amend, or delete your personal information. Email your request to our data protection officer Alex at animalreport.alex@gmail.com, and we will work with you to remove any of the personal data we may have relating to you.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Links to Other Sites

Our Service may contain links to other sites. You will be directed to that site if you click on a third-party link. Note that these external sites are not operated by us. Therefore, we strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

Affiliate Disclosure
