1. Introduction
Welcome to PetID ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the PetID mobile application (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
2. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
- Photos you submit for identification. When you take or upload a photo of an animal, the image is sent to our server for AI-powered analysis. We do not store your photos after analysis is complete.
- Usage data. We may collect anonymous usage statistics (e.g., number of scans performed, features used) to improve the App. This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
- Purchase information. If you purchase a premium subscription or one-time upgrade, the transaction is processed by Apple. We do not receive or store your payment details.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To identify animals in photos you submit using AI vision technology.
- To provide first aid and safety information for dangerous animals.
- To process and verify in-app purchases.
- To improve the accuracy and performance of our identification service.
4. Camera and Photo Library Access
The App requests access to your device's camera and photo library solely to let you capture or select animal photos for identification. We do not access your camera or photos without your explicit action, and we do not transmit any photos except the one you intentionally submit for identification.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- OpenAI (GPT-4o Vision) — processes submitted images for animal identification. Images are transmitted securely and subject to OpenAI's Privacy Policy.
- Apple In-App Purchases — handles payment processing for premium features, subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
6. Data Retention
Photos submitted for identification are processed in real time and are not stored on our servers after analysis. Animal scan results you choose to save are stored locally on your device only and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
7. Children's Privacy
PetID is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
8. Data Security
All communication between the App and our servers uses HTTPS encryption. We take reasonable precautions to protect your data, but no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
9. Your Rights
Because we do not store personally identifiable information, there is generally no personal data to access, correct, or delete. If you have concerns, please contact us at the address below.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance.
