Puppy Feeding Calculator (puppyfeedingcalculator.com) is designed to run directly in your browser. Any puppy names, weights, or growth logs you enter are saved locally on your own device via localStorage and are never uploaded to or sold by our servers.
1. Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal identification to use the Puppy Feeding Calculator. We handle two categories of data:
- On-Device Calculator Data (
localStorage): When you save a puppy profile, log weekly weights in the Growth Tracker, or toggle Dark/Light theme mode, that data is stored strictly inside your web browser’s local storage on your device. You can delete this data at any time by clicking “Clear” in the calculator or clearing your browser data. - Voluntary Contact Information: If you email us or submit a message via our Contact Us page, we receive your name, email address, and message contents solely to respond to your inquiry.
- Standard Server & Analytics Logs: Like most websites, our hosting infrastructure may automatically log anonymized technical metadata such as browser type, referring page, country/region, and timestamps to maintain site security and performance.
2. Cookies and Local Storage
We use strictly functional browser storage (localStorage) for the following keys:
- theme — Remembers your preferred Light or Dark UI theme.
- pfc_profiles_v2 — Stores your saved puppy calculator profiles locally on your device.
- pfc_weight_log_v1 — Stores your puppy’s weekly weigh-in history locally on your device.
If third-party analytics or advertising partners (such as Google Analytics or Google AdSense) are enabled in the future, they may set cookies to measure aggregate traffic or serve relevant ads in accordance with your cookie consent preferences.
3. How We Use Information

- Operate, maintain, and improve the accuracy and speed of
