We're a small, independent website. We collect as little as possible - we just want you to enjoy the site. Daily Paws respects your privacy. This page explains what personal information may be collected when you use our website, contact us, or sign in.
Who we are
Daily Paws is a UK-based entertainment website for dog lovers. You can contact us at support@dailypaws.co.uk. We are the data controller for the personal information described in this policy.
Information we may collect
- Contact details you send to us by email, such as your name, email address, and message.
- Email address and public profile name provided by Google if you sign in using Google. This is used only to create and identify your account and is stored by Supabase.
- Your player name and game scores if you submit a score to a leaderboard.
- Basic website analytics such as pages visited and device/browser type, collected by Cloudflare Web Analytics (see below).
How we use information and our lawful basis
- Replying to enquiries and support requests - our legitimate interest in responding to customers.
- Website analytics - our legitimate interest in understanding how the site is used. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not track individuals across sites.
- Account and leaderboard features - based on your consent when you choose to sign in or submit a score. Your Google email address is used only to identify your account and is not shared with other users or used for marketing. Your player name and score are stored to provide the leaderboard.
Third-party services we use
We share information only where needed to run the business:
- Cloudflare Web Analytics - privacy-friendly website analytics. No cookies are set; no personal data is stored. Cloudflare Privacy Policy
- Cloudflare - website hosting and delivery. May log IP addresses and request data for security and performance purposes. Cloudflare Privacy Policy
- Supabase - database, authentication, and backend services. If you sign in or submit a leaderboard score, your Google email address, public profile name, player name, and score are stored on Supabase's servers. Supabase Privacy Policy
- Formspree - form handling service. Anonymous footer feedback, if you submit it, sends your message and the page URL to us by email. No name or email address is requested. Formspree Privacy Policy
- Google - authentication provider when you choose to sign in with Google. Google processes your sign-in and shares your email address and public profile name with us to create your account. Google Privacy Policy
- Google Fonts - loads the typefaces used on the site from Google's servers. Google Privacy Policy
Local storage
We use your browser's local storage to save game state, preferences, streaks, theme settings, and player name between sessions. This data stays in your browser unless you choose to sign in or submit a leaderboard score. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for dailypaws.co.uk.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the reason it was collected, including legal, accounting, support, and fraud-prevention purposes.
