1. Who We Are (Data Controller)

This website is operated by the CheckMyPoo.com team ("we", "our", "us"). For any privacy-related questions, contact us at seposeres1@seznam.cz.

2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why

• IP Address: We automatically store your IP address for basic site functionality (voting, moderation, anti-spam, analytics, and for the "country/city" fun info under each upload). IP addresses are not shared or published.
• Nickname & Location: When you upload a photo, you can (optionally) enter a fun nickname and city/country. This is for entertainment only. Don’t use your real name if you want to stay anonymous.
• Email Address: We do not require or collect emails for normal use. If you contact us, your email will only be used to reply and will never be published or shared.
• Uploaded Images & Descriptions: All uploads are public (except for moderation actions). Do not upload any content that could identify you or someone else.

3. Cookies & Analytics

• Essential Cookies: We use cookies for site operation (e.g., keeping your rating, spam protection).
• Analytics Cookies: We use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to track anonymized site usage (no personal info is sent or stored beyond your IP address, which is masked as much as possible).
• Advertising Cookies (if enabled): If ads are shown (e.g., Google AdSense), third-party cookies may be set by advertising partners to personalize ads and measure effectiveness. You will be notified and asked for consent if/when this happens.
• Cookie Consent: By using the site, you agree to our cookie usage. When required by law (EU/EEA), a cookie consent banner will appear.

4. How We Use Your Data

• To operate, improve, and secure the website.
• To enable core features (uploads, rating, moderation, fun geolocation display).
• For anti-spam and security.
• For analytics and site improvement.
• If advertising is enabled, to serve relevant ads (see above).

5. Who We Share Data With

• We do not sell or trade your data. Some data (like IP or cookies) may be shared with third-party service providers (hosting, analytics, advertising), but only as necessary for the website to function.
• Advertising Partners: If third-party ads are shown, advertising partners may process your data according to their own policies. See their respective privacy policies for details.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & Other Laws)

• You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data.

• You can withdraw consent for cookies or advertising trackers at any time (check your browser or our cookie banner settings).
• You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

7. Data Security & Storage

• Your data is stored on secure servers operated by our hosting provider. Access is restricted to authorized personnel only.
• We take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, 100% security cannot be guaranteed online.
• We retain data only as long as necessary for website operation and legal compliance.

8. Third-Party Links

• This website may contain links to other sites (e.g., for privacy policies of analytics or advertising providers). We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
