Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 21, 2026
Shared Pet Care (“we”, “our”, or “the app”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what the iOS app stores and how it uses Apple’s services. The app is not intended for children under 13.
1. Information you store in the app
The app only processes data you enter for your own pet household:
- Household: name, time zone, and optional cover photo.
- Pets: name, species, breed, dates, microchip, notes, and optional photo.
- Care tasks: title, kind, schedule, instructions, and completion logs (who, when, notes).
- Medications: name, dosage, instructions, recurrence, and prescribing vet notes you enter.
- Health events: vaccinations, appointments, procedures, allergies, conditions, weight, and notes.
- Attachments: documents or photos you explicitly attach to a pet or health record.
We do not require a separate account beyond your Apple ID for iCloud.
2. Where data is stored
Pet-care data is saved in your iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit. Private households sync to devices signed in with the same Apple ID. Shared households use Apple’s CloudKit sharing when you invite collaborators.
We do not run our own backend for your pet-care data. Storage and sync are handled by Apple’s iCloud infrastructure under your Apple ID.
3. Photos
If you attach photos or documents to a pet or health record, the app requests access only from that explicit action. Attachments are stored as part of your household data in iCloud.
4. Third-party services in the app
The app does not embed analytics SDKs, ads, or third-party trackers. The only external service involved in app data is Apple iCloud (CloudKit).
5. Website (if you use our marketing pages)
If you visit our public website, it may use standard tools such as Google Tag Manager or similar for aggregated traffic insight. That activity is separate from data inside the iOS app and is governed by the policies of those providers.
6. Export
You can export care history as CSV and generate a vet-oriented PDF from the app. Exports are explicit user actions and may contain sensitive information.
7. Retention and deletion
Data remains in your iCloud while you use the app. You can delete pets, tasks, and records inside the app. To remove all app data from iCloud, use your Apple ID / iCloud settings or delete the app and associated iCloud data as described by Apple.
8. Not medical advice
Shared Pet Care is an organizational tool for pet-care coordination. It is not veterinary diagnosis, treatment advice, telemedicine, or an emergency service.
9. Changes
We may update this policy; the effective date at the top will change when we do. Please review this page occasionally.
