BOWLSCOUT INFORMATION

Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information BowlScout may collect when you use the website, why it is used, and the choices available to you.

Last updated: September 7, 2026

Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to bowlscout.com and its guides, comparison tools, calculators, and other website features. BowlScout provides informational content about pet feeders and related products. The website is not a veterinary service, retailer, payment processor, or account-based pet-care platform.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, hosting, security, and analytics systems may process technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, timestamps, and diagnostic or security events. This information may be used to operate the site, understand aggregate usage, detect abuse, troubleshoot errors, and improve content and navigation.

Information you choose to provide

If you contact BowlScout, information you submit may include your name, email address, message, and any supporting details you choose to share. Please do not send passwords, payment information, veterinary records, or other sensitive information that is not necessary for the request.

Cookies and similar technologies

BowlScout may use necessary cookies for website operation and security, preference cookies for user choices, analytics technologies for aggregate performance measurement, and affiliate-attribution technologies that help a retailer or network identify an eligible referral. Availability and duration can vary by provider and browser settings.

For more detail and browser-management options, see the Cookie Policy.

Feeder Finder, Comparison, and Calculator

Selections made in BowlScout tools may be processed in your browser or passed through page parameters to show a relevant result. These tools are designed to provide general guidance and are not intended to create a user profile or make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. Avoid entering personal or sensitive information into free-text fields if a tool does not request it.

Some pages may link to retailers, manufacturers, veterinary resources, or other third-party websites. When you follow an external link, that third party may receive technical referral information and apply its own privacy practices. BowlScout does not control third-party websites. See the Affiliate Disclosure for information about eligible commission links.

How information may be used

  • to deliver, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot the website;
  • to understand aggregate readership and improve guides and tools;
  • to respond to messages, correction reports, or privacy requests;
  • to prevent spam, fraud, misuse, or security incidents;
  • to comply with applicable legal obligations and protect legitimate rights.

Service providers and disclosure

Website hosting, security, analytics, content-delivery, and affiliate-service providers may process limited information on BowlScout’s behalf or under their own terms. Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, investigate misuse, protect the website or its users, or support a business transfer. BowlScout does not claim to sell personal information for money.

Retention and security

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including security, recordkeeping, dispute resolution, and legal obligations. Retention periods may differ across hosting, analytics, and other service providers. Reasonable safeguards are used, but no website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices and rights

You can manage many cookies through your browser, clear stored site data, use available consent controls, and limit certain analytics or advertising technologies through provider or device settings. Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or a copy of certain personal information. Identity and jurisdiction may need to be verified before a request is completed, and lawful exceptions may apply.

Children’s privacy

BowlScout is intended for a general adult audience and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, use the published privacy-request channel so the issue can be reviewed.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when website features, service providers, or legal requirements change. The date above will be revised when a material update is published. Continued use of the website after an update is governed by the version then posted, subject to applicable law.

Privacy requests

Send privacy requests to contact@bowlscout.com. Please identify the nature of the inquiry and provide only the information reasonably needed to locate and address it.
