Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Persian Cat (persian-catss.com) is an informational website about the Persian cat breed with a community photo gallery. This policy explains what information we collect and how we use it.

2. Information you give us

When you upload photos to the gallery, we collect:

• Your full name and your Persian cat's name
• Your email address
• The images you upload (up to 5 per submission)

3. How we use it

• Your email is used only to send the confirmation link and to handle removal requests. It is never shown publicly or sold.
• Your Persian cat's name and photos are shown publicly in the gallery once you confirm.
• Your name is kept with your submission for record-keeping and rights questions.
• Please avoid uploading photos that show people's faces, addresses or other personal details. Image files may contain location data (EXIF); remove it before uploading if you prefer.

4. Cookies, analytics and advertising

We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the website, and Google AdSense to show advertisements.
