Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-05-03

Introduction

This privacy policy explains how moth-identification-field-guide.hub2.day (“the site”, “we”, “us”) handles information when you visit and use our free moth identification tool. The site is a focused, independent web utility that helps gardeners, naturalists, curious homeowners, and parents identify moths by wing pattern, size, color, and region, and learn whether a species is beneficial, neutral, or a pest, and what its caterpillar looks like.

Information you provide

The site allows you to enter identification inputs such as wing pattern, approximate size, color, and region. These inputs are processed in your browser to suggest possible matches. We do not require an account, and we do not collect or store your identification inputs on our servers as part of normal use.

If you contact us at hello@moth-identification-field-guide.hub2.day, we will use your message and email address only to respond to your request and to maintain a brief record of support communications. We do not sell your email address and we do not use it for marketing without your consent.

Browser-local storage

The site may use browser-local storage mechanisms such as localStorage or similar technologies to remember your recent selections, preferences, or consent choices on your own device. This information stays in your browser and is not transmitted to us unless you send it to us. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic site operation, preference memory, and advertising. Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. Some cookies are necessary for the site to function, while others support advertising and analytics.

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences using the consent options provided on the site, or through your browser settings.

Google AdSense and advertising

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners may use cookies, including the DoubleClick advertising cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the internet.

You can personalize or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or YourOnlineChoices.eu.

GDPR, EEA, and UK consent choices

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with similar laws, we rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and personalized advertising where required. You can:

These may include the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not sell your personal information. If you wish to opt out of personalized advertising or make a privacy request, contact us at hello@moth-identification-field-guide.hub2.day. We will verify your request as required by law and respond accordingly.

Service providers

We use third-party service providers to operate the site, host content, and deliver advertising. These providers may process limited technical information such as IP addresses, browser type, and access logs in order to provide their services. We require service providers to use information only on our behalf and in accordance with this policy.

Server and security logs

Our hosting and security providers may automatically collect standard server log information when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use these logs for security, troubleshooting, and to maintain the stability and performance of the site.

Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Server and security logs are typically retained for a limited period and then deleted. Information you provide by email is retained only as long as reasonably needed to address your request and maintain basic records.

Children’s privacy

The site is a general-interest educational utility and is not directed at children under the age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@moth-identification-field-guide.hub2.day so we can take appropriate steps.

Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the limited information we handle against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no website or internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party links

The site may link to third-party websites, resources, or services for additional information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
