Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Interactive Pet Marketplace (interactivepetmarketplace.com) is an independent product comparison and affiliate site operated by Tim Thomasson, based in Coppell, Texas, USA. We help seniors, families, and gift buyers find the right companion pet for their needs.

2. Information we collect

We collect information in two ways:

a) Information you give us

• Your email address, if you subscribe to the Senior Companion Digest newsletter
• Any information you voluntarily provide via our contact form

b) Information collected automatically

• Pages visited, time on site, and general location (country/region) via Google Analytics 4
• Clicks on outbound affiliate links, tracked as events in Google Analytics 4
• Ad interaction data via the Facebook/Meta Pixel, if you arrive from or interact with our Facebook ads

3. How we use your information

• To send you the Senior Companion Digest newsletter (email subscribers only)
• To understand which pages and products are most useful to visitors
• To improve the site and its content
• To measure the effectiveness of Facebook advertising campaigns
• We do not sell your personal information to anyone, ever

4. Email and newsletter (Beehiiv)

Our newsletter is managed by Beehiiv. When you subscribe, your email address is stored on Beehiiv's servers. You can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any issue of the digest, or by contacting us directly. Beehiiv's privacy policy is available at beehiiv.com/privacy.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use this site. Google Analytics collects data such as pages viewed, time spent, and general geographic region. This data is aggregated and anonymized — we cannot identify individual visitors from it.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Facebook / Meta Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel to measure the performance of our Facebook advertising campaigns. The Pixel may collect information about your visit to this site and link it to your Facebook profile if you are logged in to Facebook. This helps us understand which ads lead to meaningful visits.

You can manage your ad preferences at facebook.com/adpreferences.

7. Affiliate links

This site participates in affiliate programs including the Amazon Associates Program. When you click a product link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We track outbound clicks via Google Analytics to understand which products are most relevant to our visitors. See our full affiliate disclosure for details.

Interactive Pet Marketplace is a participant in the GoAffPro Affiliate Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to the partner site.
