PawJoy
Privacy Policy
PawJoy ("PawJoy," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the PawJoy iOS app for iPhone and iPad handles information when you use its pet care, inspiration, journaling, and reminder features.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide
PawJoy allows you to enter or select the following information:
- Pet profile information, such as a pet's name, breed, optional birthday, and optional avatar photo.
- Care check-in information, such as the care type, selected pet, date and time, and optional notes.
- Journal content, including text and optional photos.
- Profile information, such as your nickname and optional profile photo.
- App preferences, such as appearance mode and care reminder settings.
Information collected automatically
PawJoy is designed as a local-first app. The core app does not require an account and does not automatically collect or send your IP address, precise location, contacts, advertising identifier, usage analytics, or crash reports to us.
2. How We Use Information
Information entered into PawJoy is used to provide the app's on-device features, including:
- Displaying and managing your pet profiles.
- Creating care check-ins and calculating your daily care rhythm.
- Saving favorite inspiration ideas.
- Displaying your care history and journal timeline.
- Applying your preferences and scheduling local care reminders when you enable them.
If you contact us by email, we may use the information in your message and any information you choose to provide to respond to your request.
3. Local Storage and Security
PawJoy stores pet profiles, care check-ins, favorites, journal entries, selected photos, profile information, and app preferences in the app's private local storage on your iPhone or iPad. PawJoy does not upload this content to a PawJoy server as part of the core app experience.
We use reasonable safeguards provided by the iOS platform and the app's private storage to help protect information on your device. No method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your device's operating system may include app data in device backups according to your device settings. PawJoy does not control or access those backups.
4. Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your PawJoy content. PawJoy does not use advertising networks, social login services, or third-party analytics SDKs for its core experience.
We may disclose information you send to us if required by applicable law, a valid legal process, or a lawful request from a competent authority.
5. Photos and Notifications
PawJoy accesses photos only when you choose a photo through the system photo picker. Selected photos are stored locally with the related pet profile, journal entry, or user profile.
PawJoy requests notification permission only when you enable care reminders. Reminders are scheduled as local notifications on your device. PawJoy does not use remote push notifications for the core app experience.
6. Your Choices and Rights
Within PawJoy, you can:
- View and edit your pet profiles and profile information.
- Delete an individual pet and its related care check-ins.
- Delete individual care check-ins or journal entries.
- Clear all care check-ins and journal entries from Review or Profile.
- Choose whether to grant photo library access and notification permission.
- Delete the PawJoy app to remove its local app data from your device, subject to any device backups.

7. Third-Party Services and Links
PawJoy does not require third-party services for its core local-first features. If a future version includes a link to an external website or service, that service may have its own privacy policy and terms. We recommend reviewing those policies before using an external service.
8. Children's Privacy
PawJoy is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us by email, please contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make a material change, we will update the effective date and last updated date above. The revised policy will become effective when it is published.
10. Contact Us
If you have questions, comments, or complaints about this Privacy Policy, please contact us by email.
