🛡️ Privacy First

Your Data Stays Yours

Paw Track is built on a simple idea: your pet's data belongs to you. It lives on your device, syncs through your iCloud, and never touches our servers.

All this data is stored locally on your device and in your personal iCloud account. We never see, access, or store any of this information on our servers. We don't have servers.

How Your Data is Stored

Local Storage

Your pet data is stored directly on your iPhone using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data never leaves your device unless you choose to sync with family members through iCloud.

iCloud Sync (Optional)

If you enable family sharing, your pet data syncs to your personal iCloud account using Apple's CloudKit. This allows you to:

Important: Your iCloud data is encrypted and protected by Apple. We cannot access your iCloud data. Apple's privacy policy governs how iCloud data is handled: apple.com/legal/privacy

03

Data Sharing

We don't share your data with anyone. Ever.

Family Sharing

When you choose to share a pet with family members, the shared pet's data is transmitted directly between your devices via iCloud. This is peer-to-peer sharing through Apple's infrastructure. We are not involved in this process.

Share Cards

Paw Track v2.0 lets you create shareable milestone cards (birthday cards, walk art, badge unlocks, monthly recaps, and more). These cards are generated entirely on your device. When you share a card to Instagram, iMessage, or elsewhere, you are choosing to share that specific image. We never see what you share or where you share it.

Export Features

When you use PawPack export or PDF reports, files are created on your device that you can share with whomever you choose (such as your veterinarian). When you export expense reports, the PDF is generated locally. This is entirely under your control.

04

Third-Party Services

Paw Track uses TelemetryDeck for anonymous, aggregated analytics to help us improve the app. TelemetryDeck collects no personal data, no device IDs, and no IP addresses. Signals are anonymous and cannot be linked to any individual. It is GDPR compliant and based in the EU. Learn more: telemetrydeck.com/privacy

Paw Track does not use advertising networks, crash reporting tools, social media SDKs, or attribution frameworks. The only other services are Apple's iCloud (via CloudKit) for optional sync and Apple's StoreKit for in-app purchases.

05

Permissions We Request

Paw Track requests the following iOS permissions. All are optional and the app works without granting any of them.

📷

Camera Access

Take photos of your pets for profiles and capture documents like vet records. Photos are stored locally on your device and in your iCloud. Never uploaded to us.

🖼️

Photo Library

Select existing photos for pet profiles, diary entries, and vet record attachments. We only access photos you specifically choose. Never your full library.

📍

Location New in v2.0

Used exclusively for GPS walk tracking. Records your route while you walk your pet. Location data is stored only on your device and your iCloud. We never receive, transmit, or store your location. Includes background location access so walks continue tracking when you lock your phone.

📅

Calendar Access

Add vaccination due dates and vet appointments to your calendar as reminders. You control which events get added. We never read your calendar.

🔔

Notifications

Receive reminders for pet care tasks: meals, walks, medications, grooming, vet visits, training, and more. All notifications are generated and scheduled locally on your device.

06

Location Data

This deserves its own section because location data is sensitive.

Paw Track v2.0 includes a GPS walk tracker. When you start a walk, the app records your route coordinates, distance, duration, pace, and steps. Here is exactly what happens with that data:

Walk data is only collected while you actively use the walk tracking feature. The app does not access your location at any other time.

07

Children's Privacy

Paw Track does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. The app is designed to be family-friendly and safe for all ages. No accounts, no sign-ups, no personal data collection.

08

Data Retention & Deletion

You are in complete control of your data:

We don't retain any personal data because we never collect it. Anonymous analytics signals processed by TelemetryDeck cannot be linked to you or your device.

09

Security

Your data security is ensured by:

10

Privacy Manifest

As required by Apple, Paw Track includes a Privacy Manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) that declares exactly which system APIs the app accesses and why:

Our Commitment to You

Privacy is not a feature we added. It is how we built the app. Paw Track was designed from day one so that your pet's data never leaves your control. No clever workarounds, no future plans to change this. Just a powerful pet care app that respects you.
