Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

PawLog is designed with privacy as a core principle. Here is what we do and do not collect:

Data Stored on Your Device Only

• Pet profiles: Names, species, breeds, dates of birth, and other pet details you enter
• Health records: Vet visits, vaccinations, medications, symptoms, and weight entries
• Daily care logs: Feeding schedules, grooming sessions, milestones, and expenses
• Photos: Pet photos you add from your camera or photo library
• App preferences: Your settings such as weight unit and date format

This data is stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework and is automatically synced to your personal iCloud account when you are signed into iCloud on your device.

Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect analytics or usage data
• We do not use third-party analytics tools (no Google Analytics, Firebase, Mixpanel, etc.)
• We do not collect crash reports through third-party services
• We do not use advertising identifiers or ad networks
• We do not track your location
• We do not access your contacts
• We do not collect device identifiers for tracking purposes

2. Sign in with Apple (Optional)

PawLog offers optional Sign in with Apple functionality. If you choose to use this feature:

• We receive only a user identifier and, if you choose to share it, your email address
• This information is stored securely on your device using Apple's Keychain
• We do not transmit this information to any server
• Sign in with Apple is entirely optional — the app is fully functional without it

3. iCloud Sync

When you are signed into iCloud on your device, PawLog automatically syncs your data (including photos) to your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit framework. This enables you to:

• Restore your data if you reinstall the app
• Access your data on a new device signed into the same iCloud account

Your data is stored in your personal iCloud storage and is not accessible to us or any third party. Apple's iCloud is protected by Apple's privacy policy and end-to-end encryption. iCloud sync requires no additional sign-up — it works automatically with your device's iCloud account.

4. In-App Purchases

PawLog offers an optional one-time in-app purchase ("PawLog Pro") to unlock premium features. Regarding purchases:

• All purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store
• We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information (credit card, Apple Pay, etc.)
• We store only your purchase status (whether Pro features are unlocked) locally on your device
• Purchase verification is handled through Apple's StoreKit framework
• We do not use any third-party payment processors

5. Camera and Photo Library Access

PawLog requests access to your camera and photo library solely for the purpose of adding photos of your pets to the app. Photos you add are:

• Stored locally on your device and synced to your personal iCloud account
• Never shared with us or any third parties
• Deleted from app storage and iCloud when you remove them from PawLog

6. Notifications

PawLog uses local notifications to remind you about vet appointments, medication doses, feeding times, and other scheduled events. These notifications:

• Are generated and scheduled entirely on your device
• Do not use any push notification server
• Do not transmit any data to external services
• Can be disabled at any time through iOS Settings or within the app

7. Data Export

PawLog allows you to export your data as JSON, CSV, or PDF files. When you use this feature:

• The export file is generated on your device
• You control where the file is shared using iOS's built-in share sheet
• We do not retain any copy of exported data

8. Data Security

Your data is protected by:

• iOS device encryption (all data at rest is encrypted by your device)
• Apple's Keychain for any sensitive credential storage
• App sandboxing — other apps cannot access PawLog's data

9. Data Deletion

You have full control over your data:

• Delete individual records at any time within the app
• Delete all data at once through Settings > Delete All Data
• Uninstalling PawLog removes all app data from your device

10. Children's Privacy

PawLog does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. Since all data is stored locally and we do not collect any data, there is no risk of collecting children's personal information.

11. Third-Party Services

PawLog does not integrate with any third-party services, APIs, or SDKs beyond Apple's own frameworks. We use only:

• SwiftUI and SwiftData (Apple's native UI and data frameworks)
• Apple's Charts framework (for weight and health analytics)
• Apple's PhotosUI framework (for photo picking)
• Apple's UserNotifications framework (for local reminders)
• Apple's AuthenticationServices framework (Sign in with Apple)
• Apple's CloudKit framework (iCloud data sync)
• Apple's StoreKit framework (in-app purchases)

12. Changes to This Policy

If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of PawLog after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
