Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 9, 2026

1. Overview

PetKeep is a local-first pet health and medication tracker. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information. Our guiding principle is simple: we do not collect any personal data.

2. Developer and Operator

PetKeep is developed and operated by Cai Gege (蔡格格). For privacy questions, support requests, or to exercise your data rights, please contact us via [email protected] or visit our Support page.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

PetKeep does not collect, transmit, or store any of the following on our servers:

• Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number)
• Pet health records, medication data, or photos
• Device identifiers or usage analytics
• Location data
• Any data from your contacts or photo library

All data you enter into PetKeep remains exclusively on your device.

4. Local Data Storage

Your pet records, medications, doses, weight logs, health events, and photos are stored locally on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework. This data is contained within your device's app sandbox and is not accessible to us or any third party.

If you enable device-wide iCloud Backup, your app's data may be included in your encrypted iCloud backup at Apple's discretion. This is outside our control and governed by Apple's privacy policies.

5. Third-Party Services

PetKeep uses the following third-party frameworks, all provided by Apple and governed by Apple's privacy policies:

• StoreKit — For processing in-app purchases. Apple handles all payment data; we do not receive or store your payment information.
• SwiftData — For local data persistence on your device.
• UserNotifications — For local reminder notifications. These are scheduled and delivered on your device without server involvement.

We do not integrate with any advertising SDKs, analytics platforms, or social media trackers.

6. Photos

Photos you add within PetKeep are stored locally in the app's sandbox. We do not access your photo library without your explicit permission, and we never upload images to any server.

7. Children's Privacy

PetKeep is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will assist in removing it (though, as stated, we do not collect data in the first place).

8. Your Rights

Because all your data is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it:

• Access and export: Use the in-app PDF export feature to create a portable copy of your pet's records.
• Deletion: Delete individual records within the app, or delete the entire app to remove all associated data from your device. Uninstalling the app will permanently delete all local data with no cloud recovery option.
• Correction: Edit any record directly within the app at any time.

9. Security Measures

We protect your privacy through a local-first architecture:

• All data remains on your device within Apple's app sandbox.
• No network requests are made for data storage or retrieval.
• We do not operate servers, databases, or cloud infrastructure that could access your data.
• In-app purchases are processed by Apple StoreKit; we never handle payment information.

While we take these measures to protect your data, no device or system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for securing your device with a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the app evolves. Any changes will be posted here with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. For material changes that substantially affect your rights, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you through the app or other appropriate channels.
