Privacy Policy
In plain language
Patikoko helps a household share pet care — feeding, health records, supplies, reminders — between everyone who looks after the same pets. To do that, we store the pet and care information you enter, your account email, and the email of anyone you invite to your household.
- We never sell your data.
- Only people you explicitly invite to your household can see it.
- You can delete your account and its data at any time, from the app.
- We use a small number of outside services (listed below) to run the app, show ads, and fix crashes — not to build an advertising profile of you across other apps beyond what those services do by default.
1. Information we collect
Patikoko is built around a shared household ("Nest") of caregivers and pets. Most of what we store is information you and your household members type in directly.
Account: Email address and password (handled by authentication provider Supabase — plain-text passwords are never stored).
Pet profiles: Name, species, breed, birth date, weight, and optional photo for each pet.
Care records: Feeding, water, litter, walk, and grooming logs; health records (vaccinations, vet visits, medications, weight history); notes; calendar entries.
Household & supplies: Care station and inventory details (food, litter, and quantities/weights), and email addresses of invited household members.
Diagnostics: Crash and error reports including device model, OS version, app version, and failed code path. Pet or account content is excluded.
Advertising: Google AdMob uses the device advertising identifier and ad interactions to display and measure ads. On iOS, this requires tracking permission.
The app does not request access to contacts, precise location, camera, or microphone. Photo access is limited to selecting pet photos from your library or camera.
2. How we use it
- Run the app. Sync care records in real time between household members and store the information you enter.
- Send reminders. Feeding, medication, and low-stock reminders are scheduled as device notifications.
- Invite caregivers. Invitations are sent via email with a household join link.
- Fix problems. Crash reports help us identify and resolve bugs.
- Show ads. Our ad partners use limited device data to display and measure ads.
3. Who we share it with
Your data is not sold. Two groups can access it:
People you invite: Household members can view and edit pets and care records according to their permissions. Removing a member revokes their access.
Service providers:
- Supabase: Hosts account, household, pet, care data, and uploaded photos.
- Sentry: Receives crash and error diagnostics.
- Google AdMob: Displays and measures ads.
- Resend: Sends household invitation emails.
Information may be disclosed if required by law or to protect rights and safety.
4. Storage & security
Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). Database-level access control restricts household data to invited members only. While no method guarantees absolute security, we follow industry-standard practices.
5. Your choices
- Edit or delete records: Pets, care logs, health records, and supplies can be changed anytime in-app.
- Leave a household: Remove yourself, or be removed by others, from the Household screen.
- Delete your account: Permanently remove your login and identity from the Profile screen. Dependent records remain, unlinked from your identity.
- Notifications: Reminder notifications can be toggled per pet.
- Ad tracking (iOS): Tracking permission can be declined or changed in device Settings.
6. Children's privacy
Patikoko is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Contact us if you believe we've collected data from a child.
7. Changes to this policy
Material changes update the effective date above. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
