Wagging Tail ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information within the Wagging Tail: Dog Walk Tracker mobile application.
Wagging Tail is designed as a "local-first" application. Most data you create remains exclusively on your device. However, certain features require the processing of data:
Location Data: We collect precise and/or approximate location data to enable walk tracking, route mapping, and distance calculation.
Background Usage: This data is processed even when the app is closed or not in use only if a walk is currently active.
Foreground Service: To ensure tracking is transparent and reliable, a persistent notification will be visible in your device's notification tray whenever a walk is being recorded.
Storage: This data is stored locally in an SQLite database on your device and is not transmitted to our servers or any third parties.
Device Information: We may collect non-identifying information about your device (model, OS version) to improve app performance and troubleshoot bugs.
To provide in-app purchases and Lifetime Pro verification, we use RevenueCat. RevenueCat may collect:
Transaction Data: Information about your purchase (date, price, and store receipt identifiers) to ensure your Pro status is synced and restorable.
Device Identifiers: Anonymous IDs (RevenueCat App User ID) used to link your purchase to your device. This data is governed by RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.
All pet profiles, walk history, and photos are stored locally on your physical device. We do not have access to this data. If you use the "Backup" feature, the app generates a file which you control and can store in a location of your choosing (e.g., Google Drive, Email).
Wagging Tail will ask for the following permissions:
Location (Always/Background): Required to map your walk route while the phone is in your pocket.
Post Notifications: Required to display the active walk status (Foreground Service).
Storage/Photos: Required only if you choose to upload photos for dog profiles.
Wagging Tail does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under 13.
