Needy Cat Media™ (“NCM”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy. This privacy notice explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard information when you visit www.needycatmedia.com (the “Site”), use our online tools, submit forms, interact with community features, or access optional premium features.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect personal information you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name, email address, message details, support request information, or other information you choose to submit through contact forms, newsletter forms, community features, or other site features.
We do not directly collect or store full payment card information through our website. Payment transactions are handled by third-party payment providers.
1A. Tool Usage Data
When you use interactive tools on this Site, such as QR code generators, text-to-speech tools, image tools, sitemap helpers, SEO slug tools, converters, printable resources, or script generators, we may collect limited usage data for analytics, performance monitoring, security, fraud prevention, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and site improvement.
This may include non-personal information such as tool type, timestamp, page URL, browser type, device type, general technical logs, error data, or anonymized usage patterns. We do not intentionally store the content you enter into tools unless a specific feature requires submission, posting, purchase processing, recovery access, moderation, or support handling.
1B. Cookies, Local Storage, and Browser-Based Access
This Site may use cookies, browser local storage, session storage, recovery tokens, or similar technologies to support basic site functionality, remember preferences, prevent abuse, improve user experience, support optional premium features, and maintain device- or browser-based access where applicable.
Some optional premium features may depend on local browser storage, cookies, recovery tokens, or device-specific records. Clearing browser data, changing browsers, using private browsing, blocking cookies or storage, switching devices, or using restrictive privacy settings may affect access to certain premium features.
1C. Community and User-Submitted Content
If you submit, upload, post, or share content through the Site, including pet photos, comments, names, descriptions, stories, feedback, or other materials, we may collect and store that submitted content so the related feature can operate.
User-submitted content may be reviewed, moderated, edited for formatting, hidden, rejected, or removed at our discretion. Do not submit content that you do not have permission to share.
1D. Payment and Premium Feature Information
If you purchase optional premium features, one-time unlocks, bundle access, templates, exports, watermark removal, audio downloads, or similar digital features, payment processing is handled by third-party providers such as PayPal or other payment processors.
Needy Cat Media™ does not directly store full payment card details. We may receive limited transaction-related information needed to confirm access, provide support, process recovery requests, prevent fraud, or maintain purchase records.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information may be used to:
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site, tools, and services.
- Respond to questions, feedback, support requests, or privacy-related requests.
- Send newsletters, updates, or messages you requested.
- Provide access to optional premium features or purchase recovery options where available.
- Moderate community content, comments, uploads, or gallery submissions.
- Monitor performance, troubleshoot errors, prevent abuse, and improve user experience.
- Comply with legal obligations, enforce our policies, or protect our rights and users.
3. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with trusted third-party service providers only when necessary to operate the Site, deliver requested services, process payments, provide analytics, send email, prevent abuse, improve security, or respond to support requests.
These providers may include payment processors, email services, analytics providers, hosting providers, security tools, anti-spam services, or other operational vendors. We may also disclose information if required by law, to enforce our policies, to prevent abuse, or to protect our rights, users, or services.
4. Analytics, Security, and Anti-Abuse Tools
We may use analytics, security, spam-prevention, rate-limiting, logging, or monitoring tools to understand site performance, prevent misuse, detect suspicious activity, protect forms, and improve the Site. These tools may collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, timestamps, referral data, or interaction patterns.
Where possible, we aim to use privacy-conscious settings and limit collection to what is reasonably needed for site operation, security, analytics, and improvement.
5. Data Storage Location
Personal information collected through our website is intended to be stored and processed in the United States. However, some third-party service providers may process data in other locations depending on their infrastructure, terms, and privacy practices.
6. Your Rights and Data Removal
You may unsubscribe from emails or request that your personal information be deleted from our records where applicable. To make a request, please visit our Contact Us page.
We will make reasonable efforts to process valid data removal requests within 7 business days. Some information may need to be retained when required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, transaction records, dispute handling, backup systems, or legitimate business purposes.
7. User-Submitted Content Removal
If you want to request removal of pet photos, comments, descriptions, stories, or other submitted content, please contact us through the Site. We may request reasonable information to verify the request before removing or modifying content.
8. Security Measures
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, loss, disclosure, or alteration. However, no website, server, browser storage method, payment processor, email system, or internet transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain links to external websites, tools, platforms, products, payment processors, affiliate partners, videos, software providers, merch providers, or services. These third-party sites and services are not controlled by Needy Cat Media™.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices, terms, security, content, accuracy, availability, shipping, refunds, support, or functionality of third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies and terms separately.
