Privacy at gobuildmy
Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 22, 2026
This policy describes the limited information processed when you read the Site or contact us.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to the public pages and restricted administration area of gobuildmy.com(the “Site”). It explains what information is processed, why it is processed, and the choices available to you.
The Site is primarily a pet-care publication. Public visitors do not create accounts, post comments, complete contact forms, or subscribe to a newsletter on the Site.
2. Information We Process
Information collection notice: The Site processes only the information needed to deliver and secure pages, information you voluntarily send by email, and authentication data used in the restricted administration area. Public pages do not currently use third-party analytics, advertising trackers, or behavioral profiling.
2.1 Technical request information
When your browser requests a page, the hosting and network infrastructure may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, requested URL, timestamp, referring page, and error or security events. This information is inherent to delivering a website and may appear in temporary server or security logs.
2.2 Information you send by email
If you contact us using the email address published on the Site, we receive your email address and whatever information you choose to include in the message. Please do not send passwords, payment details, medical records, or other sensitive information.
2.3 Restricted administration data
Authorized administrators use a secure session cookie to remain signed in. The administration interface may also store a language preference in the browser. These features are not used to track public readers.
2.4 Information we do not currently collect
- No public account or profile information
- No comments, ratings, likes, saved articles, or other reader submissions
- No newsletter subscription information
- No payment information
- No third-party advertising or analytics identifiers on public pages
3. How We Use Information
We use the limited information described above to:
- Deliver requested pages and maintain Site performance
- Detect abuse, investigate errors, and protect the Site
- Respond to emails, corrections, and privacy requests
- Authenticate authorized administrators
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
We do not sell personal information and do not use it for behavioral advertising.
4. Cookies and Browser Storage
Public reading pages do not currently set non-essential analytics or advertising cookies, so the Site does not display a cookie-consent popup.
| Storage | Purpose | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|
| Admin session cookie | Authentication for authorized administrators | Up to 7 days |
| Admin language preference | Remembers the administration interface language | Until cleared from the browser |
Browser controls can be used to delete cookies and local storage. Disabling the admin session cookie prevents an authorized administrator from remaining signed in but does not prevent public articles from being read.
6. Retention and Security
We keep information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was processed, including security, correspondence, and legal record-keeping. Actual retention may vary depending on the nature of the information and applicable obligations.
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, including HTTPS and restricted access to administration functions. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
7. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of personal information associated with you. You may also object to certain processing or withdraw consent where consent is the applicable basis.
To make a request, email us using the address in Section 10 and describe the information or correspondence involved. We may need enough information to verify the request and will respond as required by applicable law.
8. Children's Privacy
The Site is a general-audience pet-care publication and is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when the Site or its information-handling practices change. The updated date at the top of this page will show when the latest revision took effect. If non-essential analytics or advertising technology is introduced, this policy will be updated and any consent mechanism required by applicable law will be provided before use.
10. Contact
For privacy questions or requests, contact us by email. Please include enough detail for us to understand your request, but do not include sensitive information.
