Privacy Policy
At The Vet Company, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We should mention: there is no Vet Company. The name belongs to a story published on this site by Jon Curtis. The site does collect data, and what follows is how it is handled. The practices are real even if the company is not.
What We Collect
When you visit this site, our web server records your IP address, the page you requested, the time of the request, your browser type, and the referring page.
When you email us at tips@thevetcompany.net or contact@thevetcompany.net, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.
When you donate through Ko-fi, Ko-fi shares with us your display name, message, donation amount, and email address if you provide one. Ko-fi processes the payment under its own privacy policy. We do not see or handle your payment card information.
What We Do Not Collect
We do not run analytics on this site. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other tracking script.
We do not capture email subscriptions on this site.
We do not set cookies on this site.
We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties.
How We Use Your Information
We use server logs to operate the site and diagnose technical issues.
We use email correspondence to respond to you.
Retention
Server access logs are rotated and deleted by our hosting provider on a short cycle.
Email correspondence is retained as a record of the project.
Donation records are retained as required for tax and recordkeeping.
Third Parties We Rely On
We rely on a small number of third-party services to operate this site: a hosting and content delivery provider, an email service for our published addresses, and Ko-fi for donations. Each operates under its own privacy policy. We do not embed third-party tracking widgets or scripts.
Links from this site to Medium take you to medium.com, which has its own privacy practices.
Age Requirement
This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Security
We use reasonable security measures to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is entirely secure.
