We may also collect information on how the service is accessed and used. This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.

3. Photos, Messages and Storage

When you send a message or a photo of your pet to PawVet.ai, we send it to our AI provider to generate a response. Your messages, photos and pet profiles are stored securely and linked to your account so you can see your conversation history. We do not use your photos or messages to train our own AI models.

You can delete individual conversations at any time, or delete your whole account from the Account page, which removes your conversations, pet profiles and account details from our servers.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our service.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our service ("Service Providers"), to provide the service on our behalf, to perform service-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how our service is used.

These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. Our third-party service providers include:

  • Stripe (payment processing)
  • OpenAI (AI responses to your questions and photos)
  • Google Analytics (website usage analytics)

6. Security

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

We will also retain Usage Data for internal analysis purposes. Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer time periods.

8. International Transfers

Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

If you are located outside the United Kingdom and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to the United Kingdom and process it there.
