Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the BrodinnyPaw mobile application for iOS and Android (the “App”), this website, and support communications sent to us. BrodinnyPaw is developed and operated under the BrodinnyPaw name by an independent developer (referred to as “BrodinnyPaw,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

This policy describes the App and website as of the effective date. The App does not require a BrodinnyPaw account, cloud synchronization, advertising, behavioral analytics, or a remote content service. Premium product information, purchase verification, restore status, and entitlement status are exchanged with Apple or Google and RevenueCat over encrypted connections. If our data practices change, we will update this policy and the applicable store disclosures before the changed processing begins.

• The App has no BrodinnyPaw account or cloud synchronization.
• Dog profile, training, Tracker, Favorites, reminders, and settings data stay in app-private storage on your device.
• The App has no advertising, behavioral or product-usage analytics, crash-reporting SDK, tracking domain, remote content API, or advertising identifier.
• The App does not use location, contacts, or microphone access and does not play audio in the background.
• The website has no account, contact form, advertising pixel, or cross-site advertising tracker.
• Vercel Web Analytics measures anonymous, aggregated page views without third-party cookies or a permanent cross-site visitor identifier.
• Premium purchases are processed by Apple or Google and RevenueCat; BrodinnyPaw does not receive your payment-card or bank-account details.
• If you email support, we receive the email address, message, and anything you choose to attach.

“Local” does not mean risk-free. Your operating system or a backup provider may include app data in device or cloud backups according to settings controlled by you and that provider.

The App may store the following information only on your device:

Optional onboarding answers about age range, owner status, issues, learning interests, known commands, training time, and dog role are temporary. Because the App has no approved ongoing purpose for them, they are deleted when onboarding completes.

Optional dog photo

The App opens the system photo picker or camera only after you choose that action. It requests one image, removes unnecessary metadata, center-crops and normalizes the result locally, and stores only the normalized copy in app-private storage. BrodinnyPaw does not upload or analyze the image. Cancelling or denying access keeps the default avatar.

Local notifications

Notification permission is requested only after you try to activate a reminder and see an in-app explanation. Reminder definitions are local. Android may retain active scheduling copies in app-private platform preferences so reminders can be restored after reboot or time-zone changes; iOS retains pending requests in its notification system.

Packaged audio

Clicker, whistle, sounds, and melodies are bundled with the App and play locally in the foreground. The App uses audio focus, route, and interruption state only to control playback. It does not use the microphone.

We do not use a marketing form, advertising pixel, behavioral advertising, or cross-site advertising tracker on this website. We use Vercel Web Analytics to measure anonymous, aggregated website traffic. A page-view data point may include the event time, page URL or route, filtered query parameters, referrer, approximate country or region, browser, operating system, device type, and analytics-script version. We do not configure custom events that contain names, email addresses, purchase data, dog/profile data, or other user-entered content.

Vercel Web Analytics does not use third-party cookies for this service. Vercel derives a daily visitor hash from the incoming request for aggregate counting; the hash is not designed to identify a person or follow them across different websites and is discarded after 24 hours. Like most websites, hosting and network providers may also process limited request data such as IP address, browser or device information, requested page, time, response status, and security signals to deliver, protect, and diagnose the service. We do not use this information to build advertising profiles.

If you email brodinnypaw.app@outlook.com, we and our email provider receive your sender address, message, technical email headers, and any attachment you choose to send. Please do not send sensitive personal data or an identifiable dog photo unless it is needed for the support request.

For the App and website, we do not:

• sell or rent personal information;
• share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising;
• track activity across other companies’ apps or websites;
• send dog profile, photo, learning, Tracker, Favorites, or reminder data to BrodinnyPaw servers;
• use facial recognition, image recognition, precise location, contacts, or microphone data; or
• make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Local App processing is performed at your request to provide the features you choose to use. System permissions rely on your choice and can be denied or changed in device settings. Where law requires a legal basis for processing data we actually receive, we generally rely on:

• contract or steps at your request to answer support questions and provide the requested service;
• legitimate interests to secure, operate, and diagnose the website and respond to non-marketing communications;
• consent where a platform permission or optional communication requires it; and
• legal obligation when retention or disclosure is required by applicable law.

Limited website or support data may be processed by infrastructure, hosting, security, analytics, and email providers acting for us. Vercel processes website delivery data and the anonymous Web Analytics data described above. These providers process only what is needed to provide their services, subject to their agreements and applicable law. We may also disclose information when legally required, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transfer with appropriate safeguards.

Apple and Google control their app stores, purchase processing, operating-system services, device backups, and purchase history. Their privacy notices apply to data they process independently. When you view, buy, renew, cancel, or restore Premium, the applicable store processes your store account, payment, and transaction records. The App receives store-supplied product availability and entitlement status needed to display the offer and unlock or restore Premium. BrodinnyPaw does not receive your payment-card or bank-account details, and this website does not offer or process purchases.

RevenueCat provides purchase-status and Premium-entitlement infrastructure for the App. It processes store-supplied purchase history and an app-scoped anonymous customer identifier to verify, restore, and maintain Premium access and to provide purchase analytics. BrodinnyPaw does not send your dog profile, photo, learning activity, Tracker history, Favorites, reminders, contacts, precise location, microphone data, or advertising data to RevenueCat.

How to delete BrodinnyPaw data

1. To delete local App data immediately, open BrodinnyPaw, go to Settings, choose Delete All Local Data, and confirm. This removes the local dog profile and normalized photo, onboarding state, course progress, Favorites, Tracker history, reminder definitions, settings, and locally cached entitlement status.
2. To request deletion of personal data that BrodinnyPaw or a service provider acting for us actually holds, email brodinnypaw.app@outlook.com with the subject Data Deletion Request. State whether the request concerns support correspondence, website communication, or RevenueCat purchase records. We may request limited platform and store-transaction information to locate the correct record and avoid deleting another person’s data.
3. BrodinnyPaw cannot delete Apple or Google purchase history, store-account records, operating-system backups, or cloud backups controlled by those providers. Use the relevant platform controls for those records.

App data remains on your device until you remove it, use a relevant in-app reset control, or uninstall the App, subject to operating-system or cloud backups outside BrodinnyPaw’s control. Settings provides controls to reset training progress, remove the dog profile and Tracker history, or delete all BrodinnyPaw local data. Delete-all also cancels BrodinnyPaw reminder identifiers before clearing local rows and files.

Local deletion cannot erase Apple or Google purchase history, an operating-system backup, or a copy retained by a backup provider. You must manage those through the relevant platform.

A verified deletion request is normally completed within 30 days. Support correspondence needed to complete or document the request may be retained for up to 90 days after the request is closed and is then deleted. A minimal record may be retained longer only when required by law or reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, or the establishment or defense of legal claims, and only for the period needed for that purpose. No additional BrodinnyPaw retention period applies to local App data after the in-app deletion finishes because BrodinnyPaw does not receive a server copy of that local data.

Vercel's temporary visitor hash for Web Analytics is discarded after 24 hours. Anonymous, aggregated analytics reports may remain available for the reporting and retention period provided by the applicable Vercel service plan. Because those reports are not tied to an identified visitor, BrodinnyPaw generally cannot locate or delete one person's page views from the aggregated reporting data.

App records use the operating system’s application sandbox. On Android, the App uses Internet access only for Google Play and RevenueCat product availability, purchase, restore, and entitlement verification. These connections use encrypted transport. The App does not use this access for advertising, remote course delivery, cloud synchronization, or first-party product analytics. We also minimize requested permissions and package fonts, illustrations, content, and audio with the App.

No storage or transmission method is perfectly secure. Protect your device with current software and an appropriate passcode. Hosting and email providers may process request or support data in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on the provider’s contractual or legally recognized transfer safeguards.

Because BrodinnyPaw does not receive the local App data described above, the primary way to access, correct, or delete it is through the App and device. You can skip optional profile fields, use the default avatar, decline notifications, change permissions in system settings, disable reminders, remove local records, or uninstall the App.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or withdrawal of consent for personal data that we actually hold. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority. Email us to exercise a right. We may need proportionate information to verify the request and will explain when the data exists only on your device or with Apple, Google, RevenueCat, Vercel, an email provider, or a backup provider.

BrodinnyPaw is intended for dog guardians and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. A person who is not old enough to accept these terms in their country should use the App only with a parent or legal guardian’s involvement and permission. An adult must supervise any child shown or involved in dog training.

If you believe a child sent personal information to our support inbox, contact us so we can assess and delete it where required.

We may update this policy to reflect product, provider, legal, or security changes. We will change the effective date and provide additional notice when required. Material App privacy changes receive a new in-app policy version so the acknowledgement screen can reopen before continued use.
