Privacy Policy

AquariumDB is a free freshwater-aquarium reference and tank-mate compatibility tool. This page explains, in plain language, what data the site does and does not collect.

Your "My Tank" list stays on your device

When you add fish to My Tank, that list is saved in your browser's local storage on your own device. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, and it is not tied to any account — clearing your browser data removes it.

Analytics

If and when we measure traffic, we will use aggregate analytics that count page views and general information such as country, referrer and device type to understand which pages are useful. Such analytics do not identify you personally, and this policy will name the specific provider once one is in place.

Advertising

We intend to support the site with advertising, including Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site — for tanks, heaters, filters, reef equipment and other gear — are affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, and we may earn a commission from other retailers if you buy through them. This comes at no extra cost to you, and it never influences which species or products we cover.

Cookies

The core site does not require cookies to function. Cookies may be set by the advertising partners described above. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings.

Children

AquariumDB is written for adult fishkeepers and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

This is general guidance, not professional advice

Care profiles and compatibility verdicts are general educational guidance computed from published care data — a strong starting point, not a guarantee. For fish-health and medication decisions, consult a qualified aquatic veterinarian or specialist.

Changes & contact

We may update this policy as the site evolves; the "last updated" date above will change accordingly. Questions about privacy can be sent to laukanka@gmail.com.
