Privacy

The short version

This site is operated by CorvidData LLC, in the State of Ohio, United States, which is the data controller for the personal information described on this page and the party responsible for answering questions about it.

614petcare is a set of pre-built pages. There is no account system and no login. This site does measure its traffic: Google Analytics runs on every page through Google Tag Manager and counts the pages that are opened. No advertising is shown here, and no ad-serving script loads. One piece of Google’s advertising infrastructure does load on every page: the consent tool Google calls Privacy and messaging, or Funding Choices. Where the rules require it, that tool is what asks you about advertising and measurement and records your answer, and it is in place ahead of any advertising being switched on. The only information you give this site is what you type into one of its forms, and you only do that if you choose to. Some pages embed content from other companies, and your browser contacts those companies directly when it loads that content.

Cookies, analytics, and accounts

This site sets no cookies of its own. The Google services described below do set cookies of their own, and the consent tool stores your choice in your browser, in a cookie or in local storage, so that you are not asked again on every page. There are no user accounts and nothing to sign in to, so nothing that happens here is attached to a name or to a profile you could log into. No ad unit is configured for this build, so the pages that can carry advertising show nothing in that space, and no ad-serving script is loaded.

The measurement is Google Analytics 4, loaded through a Google Tag Manager container. In plain terms it records which pages are opened and in what order, the address that linked you here, an approximate location worked out from your IP address, and basic device, browser and language details. It stores a randomly generated id in a cookie so that several pages opened in a row count as one visit rather than several strangers. It is not given your name, your email address, or anything you type into a form on this site.

The consent tool is Google Funding Choices, which Google’s own console calls Privacy and messaging. It loads on every page from fundingchoicesmessages.google.com, and it is here ahead of the advertising, because consent has to be asked for and recorded before any ad is served. Its job is to show you a consent message where the rules require one and to record your answer, which it keeps in your browser so you are not asked again on every page; that answer is what the advertising and measurement settings described here then follow. Loading it tells Google your IP address and standard device and browser details, in the same way any other content loaded from another company does. It displays no advertising itself. Which message is shown, and where, is configured by the people who operate this site in Google’s console rather than in the code of these pages, so it can change without the site being rebuilt.

Google’s consent settings ship with this site already set to deny advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalization, and to allow analytics storage. Those are the starting values, applied before anything else on the page loads; if the consent tool asks you and you answer, your answer replaces them. Which tags actually run is decided by the tag manager container, which the people who operate this site configure in Google's tag manager console rather than in the code of these pages, so it can change without the site being rebuilt. If you need to know exactly what runs today, that container is the authority, not this paragraph.

Third-party content on some pages

A few things on this site are loaded from other companies’ servers. When your browser requests them it necessarily reveals your IP address and standard request details to that company, which handles them under its own privacy policy, not this one.

Links to businesses’ own websites take you off this site entirely. What those sites do is up to them.

What you send when you use a form

The submission, claim, and correction forms, and the review form where a listing page offers one, ask only for what an editor needs to act on the request. Between them that is: your name or display name, your email address, your relationship to the business, the business’s name, website, phone, location and category, the field you are correcting and the corrected value, a link supporting the change, how you want to verify a claim, and whatever you write in the free-text boxes. On the correction form the email address is optional; on the others it is required so an editor can reply.

When you submit, your browser posts that form directly to the contribution endpoint configured for this deployment. Along with your answers it sends the type of request, the listing it refers to, the address of this site, and the time of submission. Nothing is written to the site by that post: an editor reviews the submission separately, and any resulting change appears only when the site is rebuilt and republished.

The service that receives and stores submissions is operated separately from these pages, and email you provide is used to follow up on your request. Do not send anyone else’s personal information, or anything sensitive, through these forms.

Business information published here

The business records in this directory are compiled from open and licensed data sources and from companies’ own published websites, and every listing shows where its details came from. Contact details are published because the business publishes them, or because they appear in open data, as business contact information. The open datasets used here are credited in the footer of every page and listed in full on the terms page.

Small businesses sometimes publish a personal mobile number or a home address as their business contact. If a record here contains a detail you consider personal rather than commercial, use the removal request page below.

Removal and correction requests

To have a listing or a specific detail removed, see data removal requests. To fix something that is wrong rather than remove it, see corrections. Both routes go to the same editorial review. Questions about this notice can go to [email protected], and the contact page lists every route.
