Effective Date: July 6, 2025
Welcome to Dog Breed Identifier, a mobile application developed by JanoGroup LLC that helps users identify dog breeds using artificial-intelligence–powered image recognition.
Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and the choices you have. By downloading or using Dog Breed Identifier, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
No Account Required: You do not need to create an account or sign in to use Dog Breed Identifier.
No Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or precise physical location.
Uploaded Images: When you take or upload a photo for breed identification, the image is analyzed by our AI system.
Processing Location:
On-Device Processing: When supported by your device, image analysis occurs locally, and no image data leaves your phone.
Cloud Processing: On devices that do not support on-device processing, images are securely transmitted over HTTPS to our cloud servers solely for breed identification.
Image Retention: Images processed in the cloud are not stored permanently and are automatically deleted within 24 hours after the identification result is returned.
All data generated by the app remains on your device unless you choose to delete it:
Identification History: Previously identified breeds, timestamps, confidence scores, and optional notes.
App Settings: Preferences such as theme (light/dark), measurement units, and notification settings.
User Notes: Any notes or tags you add to a breed result.
You can delete this data at any time through the app’s settings.
To improve app performance and reliability, we may collect aggregated, non-personal usage data, such as:
App launch frequency and session duration
Features used (e.g., number of breed scans)
Crash reports and performance diagnostics (only if you opt in)
This data is fully anonymized and cannot be used to identify you.
Dog Breed Identifier may use the following third-party services:
AI Processing Services: Used only to analyze images when cloud processing is required. No third party retains or uses your images.
Platform Services: Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play Services (Android) may collect device or crash diagnostics in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Analytics & Crash Reporting (Optional): Services such as Firebase Analytics or Sentry may be used to collect anonymized usage and crash data. You can opt out via the app’s privacy settings.
We take reasonable measures to protect your data:
Encryption in Transit: All data sent to our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.
On-Device Protection: When supported, we rely on secure storage mechanisms provided by the operating system (e.g., iOS Keychain, Android Keystore).
No Long-Term Server Storage: We do not store images or identification data on our servers beyond what is required to provide the identification result.
While we follow industry best practices, no system is completely secure. We recommend protecting your device with a passcode or biometric lock.
Dog Breed Identifier is intended for users 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
If you believe a child under 13 has used the app and provided data, please contact us so we can delete it promptly.
Dog Breed Identifier is provided “as is” and “as available.” Breed identification results are generated by artificial intelligence and are intended for informational purposes only.
JanoGroup LLC makes no guarantees regarding accuracy and is not responsible for misidentifications or any decisions made based on app results. This app is not a substitute for professional veterinary advice.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. When material changes are made, we will update the Effective Date above and may notify you through the app. Continued use of Dog Breed Identifier after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
