Privacy policy
Snake Finder is an informational website. We keep data collection to a minimum and explain here what is collected, by us and by the third parties that help run the site.
Information we collect
We do not offer accounts, and we do not ask you to create one. We do not knowingly collect personal information such as your name, address, or contact details, except information you choose to send us directly (for example, if you email a correction). Like most websites, our servers and infrastructure providers may automatically log standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit, used to operate, secure, and improve the site.
Analytics
We use analytics to understand aggregate, non-identifying traffic patterns, such as which counties and species pages are most useful. This helps us decide what to improve. We do not use analytics to build advertising profiles of individuals.
Advertising and cookies
This site is supported by advertising. We work with third-party ad providers, which may include Google AdSense and, in the future, other advertising networks. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits here and elsewhere on the internet. These third parties may also use web beacons or your IP address to collect information as a result of ads served on this site.
You can control or opt out of personalized advertising:
- Opt out of Google personalized ads at Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of many third-party vendors at aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time.
If you are in a region that requires consent for advertising cookies, we will request that consent through a consent notice before such cookies are set.
Affiliate links and lead generation
Some links on this site are affiliate links, and some pages connect you with third-party services such as professional snake-removal providers. If you click certain links, buy a product, or request a service or call, we may earn a commission or referral fee at no extra cost to you. When you contact a provider through the site or complete a purchase, the information you submit is shared with that provider so they can respond to you, and their own privacy practices then apply. See our terms of use for the related disclosure.
How information is used
We use the limited information described above to operate and secure the site, understand aggregate usage, support advertising, connect you with services you request, and respond to messages you send us. We do not sell your personal information.
Children's privacy
Snake Finder is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information, or to opt out of certain data uses. To make a request or ask a question about this policy, contact us using the address below.

Questions about privacy can be sent to privacy@snakefinder.com. We may update this policy as the site grows, including before new advertising or lead-generation features go live, and we will post the current version here.
