PetDose Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Sean Lynch ("we", "us") handles information in connection with the mobile app PetDose (the "App").
1. Summary
- Your records stay on your phone. PetDose has no account and no server. The pets, schedules, doses, weights and notes you enter are stored only on your device and are never uploaded to us.
- The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Ads are never personalized, and the App never asks to track you.
- Subscriptions are processed by Apple and RevenueCat.
- We do not sell your information, and we have no analytics or crash-reporting service.
2. Information you enter
Pet names and details, medication and care schedules, logged doses, observations such as weight or appetite, notes, and the name you choose to show on entries. This information is stored in the App's storage on your device and is included in your device backup. We cannot see it. It leaves your phone only if you choose to export or share it, for example by sending a vet report.
3. Information processed by third-party services
| Purpose | Data | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Showing ads in the free version (banners, occasional full-screen ads, and ads you choose to watch) | Coarse device and app information, IP address (used for ad delivery and fraud prevention), ad interaction events. No advertising identifier (IDFA) is requested, and every ad request is marked non-personalized. | Google AdMob |
| Processing and restoring subscriptions and purchases | Store transaction identifiers, purchase receipts, a randomly generated app-install identifier, and, if the install came from an Apple Search Ads ad, Apple's attribution token (used to measure which ads led to installs, not to identify you) | Apple App Store and RevenueCat |
| Reminders | Reminder text and times, scheduled on your device by iOS. Nothing is sent to us. | Apple iOS (on device) |
None of these providers receives your pet records. We do not receive your real-world identity from any of them. Google's ad data practices: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. RevenueCat's privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy.
4. Advertising and your choices
- Ads are never personalized, for every user in every region.
- No ads appear on the Today screen or anywhere you record a medication.
- In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent form may appear. You can review your choice any time in Settings → Records → Ad privacy choices.
- Subscribing to PetDose Pro removes all ads.
5. Subscriptions
Payments are handled by Apple. We receive confirmation that a purchase or restore succeeded and a non-identifying transaction reference. We never receive your card number or billing address.
6. Data retention and deletion
- Your records: kept on your device until you delete them. Open Settings → Records → Delete all my data, or delete the App.
- Ad and fraud-prevention data: retained by Google under its own policy.
- Purchase records: retained by Apple and RevenueCat as required for tax, accounting and disputes.
7. Children
The App is intended for pet owners and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will help remove it.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your personal information and to object to processing. Because your records are stored only on your device, you can export or delete them directly in the App. For anything held by our providers, email us and we will pass on or act on the request within the time your law requires. California residents: we do not sell or share personal information as defined by the CCPA.
9. Security
Your records are protected by your device's security and app sandbox. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure.
10. Changes
We will update this policy when the App changes and revise the date above. If the App ever starts uploading your records, for example to share them with a household member, this policy will be updated before that release.
11. Contact
