Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information CatsLib collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Effective date: January 17, 2026
1) Who we are
CatsLib (“we”, “us”) is an educational website about cats (breeds, food safety, behavior, and tools). If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us at catslibinfo@gmail.com.
2) Information we collect
A) Information you provide
If you email us or contact us, we collect the information you choose to share (for example: your email address, message content, and any attachments).
B) Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we may collect basic technical data such as your IP address, device/browser type, pages viewed, and approximate location (derived from IP). This data is typically collected through server logs, security tools, analytics, and advertising technology.
C) Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. Some cookies are essential for site functionality and security, while others are used for analytics and ads.
3) How we use information
- To operate and maintain the site.
- To understand how people use CatsLib and improve content and UX.
- To respond to emails, feedback, and correction requests.
- To protect against spam, abuse, and security threats.
- To display and measure advertising and to support the site financially.
4) Analytics and advertising
We use analytics services (for example, Google Analytics) to measure traffic and understand usage trends. Analytics providers may use cookies and collect device/browser information.
Advertising
CatsLib displays advertising to support the website. Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant ads, limit repetition, and measure performance. These partners may receive information such as device identifiers, approximate location, and interactions with ads, depending on your browser settings and consent where applicable.
5) Cookies Policy
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, understand traffic, remember preferences, and support advertising.

How to control cookies
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
- Blocking cookies may affect site functionality and the way ads are displayed.
- Some analytics/advertising providers offer opt-out tools.
Depending on your location, you may see a consent banner (for example, in the EEA/UK) that lets you manage ad/analytics preferences.
6) Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in these cases:
- With service providers that help run the site (hosting, analytics, security, and advertising partners), under appropriate safeguards.
- If required by law, legal process, or to protect rights and safety.
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (we will update this policy if that happens).
7) Your choices
- You can control cookies in your browser settings (block/delete cookies).
- You can opt out of certain analytics/ads where providers offer opt-out tools.
- You can email us to request deletion of messages you sent us (where feasible).
8) Data retention
We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy (for example, to respond to requests, maintain security logs, or meet legal obligations). Email communications may be retained for support and record-keeping.
9) Security
We use reasonable measures to protect the site and information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
10) Children’s privacy
CatsLib is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
