Privacy Policy

Pawbase is a place to keep your pet’s records private and organized. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the control you keep. The short version: your data is yours, it is private by default, we show no ads, and we never sell it.

What we collect

• Account data — your email address, name, chosen language, and a password hash (or your Google account identifier if you sign in with Google).
• Pet care data you enter — pet profiles, health records, medications, reminders, appointments, notes, expenses, and photos you upload.
• Location data you provide — addresses you save for clinic search. Browser location is used only when you allow it, only to find nearby clinics.
• Technical basics — authentication cookies (required to keep you signed in) and server logs for security and reliability. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

How we use it

Only to run Pawbase for you: showing your records, sending the emails you request (such as password resets), finding clinics near an address you provide, and keeping the service secure. We do not sell or rent personal data, and we do not use your pets’ health data for advertising.

Where it lives

Data is stored in our database and file storage hosted with established cloud providers. Photos you upload are stored in private object storage. Clinic search uses mapping providers (Google Maps/Places, OpenStreetMap, Geoapify) — only the search query and coordinates needed for the lookup are sent to them.

Your controls

• Export everything you’ve stored as JSON, anytime, from Settings.
• Delete your account and all its data yourself, from Settings.
• Correct or remove any record directly in the app.

Retention

We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, your records are removed from the live database immediately; residual copies in backups expire on their normal rotation.

Children

Pawbase is intended for users aged 16 and over.

Changes & contact

We are in early access, so this policy will evolve; material changes will be announced in the app before they take effect. Questions or requests: support@pawbase.app.
