This Privacy Policy explains how PetCare+ (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use the app on your mobile device.

1. Who we are

PetCare+ is a mobile application that helps you record and organize pet care information such as feeding, water intake, and activities.

2. Information we collect

PetCare+ is designed primarily for offline use. The app allows you to enter and manage pet information and care records.

When you use the app, you may provide the following data:

Pet profile information: pet name, type, breed, gender, weight, birthday, neutered status,  avatar photo, and other pet-related details you add.

Care records:

Feeding records (meal type, food type/name, serving amount/unit, calories, and optional notes)

Water intake records (water amount)

Outdoor activity records (activity type, duration, distance, and optional notes)

Optional text fields such as custom titles/content you enter.

Where it is stored:

PetCare+ stores this information locally on your device (inside your app’s local storage). In the current implementation, the app uses SharedPreferences to persist:

pets (pet profiles)

feeding_records (feeding/water/activity records)

Additional local settings may also be stored as needed by the app.

Photos and media:

If you choose a pet avatar photo from your camera or gallery, the app stores and references that image locally on your device for display in the app. The app does not upload your photos to a server 

3. How we use information

We use the locally stored data to:

Display your pet profiles and avatars

Record feeding, water, and activity history

Generate daily summaries and charts/statistics within the app

Compute and display your pet’s smart age

Improve user experience within the app (e.g., keeping your preferences)

4. Data storage, retention, and deletion

Storage: Your data remains on your device as long as the app is installed.

Retention: There is no automatic server-side retention because the app is local-only in its current implementation.

Deletion within the app: You can remove pets and related records using the app’s built-in actions.

Deletion by uninstalling: If you uninstall PetCare+, your local app data (including stored preferences) is typically removed as well.

5. Permissions

To provide certain features (such as selecting photos from your device), your device may require user permission (for example, when using camera/gallery via the system photo picker). These permissions are controlled by the operating system, and your selected media is handled locally for in-app display.

6. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your locally stored information by leveraging platform app sandboxing. However, no method of storage is guaranteed to be 100% secure. You should also consider device security (e.g., device lock screen) to help protect your data.

7. Children’s privacy

PetCare+ is intended for general audiences. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can assist with deletion.
