Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 12, 2026

Your Privacy Matters

At PetTimely, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. We are committed to transparency and giving you control over your data.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we may collect your email address, display name (optional), and profile avatar (optional).

Pet Information

You provide pet profiles, reminders, health records, wellness journal entries, photos, and veterinarian details.

Location Data

If you use Nearby Services, we process location data needed to find nearby providers and save selected providers.

Family Coordination Data

If Family Sharing is enabled, we process family membership roles (including temporary Pet Sitter access), invite codes, access durations, and shared task activity.

Identifiers

User ID — A unique account identifier assigned by Supabase when you create an account, used to link your data across all app features. Device ID — A device-level identifier collected by RevenueCat to manage your subscription entitlements and restore purchases across devices.

Purchase Data

Subscription and transaction data including your plan type (Solo or Family), trial status, renewal dates, and cancellation history, managed through RevenueCat and Apple.

Technical & Usage Data

App preferences, device push notification tokens, feature usage and interaction patterns, and deletion audit logs for service operation and compliance.

Diagnostics

Crash reports and error logs collected to identify and fix technical issues. Diagnostic data is not linked to your personal identity.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Provide pet care reminders and notifications

• Track medication adherence and care history

• Generate pet care reports and health summaries

• Sync data across your family's devices in real-time

• Enable Family Sharing and shared activity visibility

• Find nearby pet services when you use location-enabled features

• Maintain app functionality and your saved preferences

• Detect, prevent, and investigate abuse or security issues

• Provide customer support and subscription access assistance

3. Data Storage and Cloud Sync

Local and Cloud Storage

PetTimely stores data locally on your device for responsiveness and also syncs data to secure cloud infrastructure hosted through Supabase on AWS for cross-device access, backup, and family collaboration.

Photos and Files

Pet photos, wellness journal photos, and account avatars are stored in private cloud storage with signed, time-limited access links.

Authentication

Authentication is handled through Apple Sign-In, email authentication, and Supabase. Session tokens are stored in iOS Keychain rather than general app storage.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

Within Your Family

Your data is shared with invited family members based on role permissions. Family owners can grant permanent member access or temporary Pet Sitter access that auto-expires.

Service Providers

We use trusted providers including Supabase (database, authentication, and storage), Apple Sign-In, Google Places API (when you use Nearby Services), Apple Push Notification service (APNs) for reminder and nag notifications, and RevenueCat (subscription management, purchase history, and entitlement tracking).

No Sale of Data

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share your pet data with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing partners.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights and safety of PetTimely, our users, or others.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger or acquisition, your data would be transferred under the same privacy protections.

5. Data Security

• All data in transit is protected by TLS/HTTPS

• Cloud data is protected by platform security controls and encryption at rest

• Access controls and row-level policies restrict who can access data

• Photo access uses private storage with signed, time-limited access

• Authentication sessions are stored in iOS Keychain

6. Your Rights and Choices

Access Your Data

You can review the pet care information stored in your account from within the app.

Delete Your Data

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time. See our Data Deletion page for details.

Privacy Requests

To make a privacy, deletion, or data access request, email support@pettimely.com using the email address associated with your PetTimely account.

7. Notifications

PetTimely uses Apple Push Notification Service (APNs) to deliver reminder and nag notifications. Your device's push notification token is stored on our servers to route notifications to your device. Notification content is generated on our server and delivered via APNs. You can disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.

8. Children's Privacy

PetTimely is designed for users 13 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately at support@pettimely.com.

9. Data Retention

Active account data is retained while your account is active. Deleted pets and reminders are soft-deleted and purged after 90 days. If you delete your account, personal data is permanently erased from our systems within 30 days of account deletion, and authentication records are removed within 24 hours.

Local app data is cleared when you sign out or uninstall the app. Limited deletion and compliance records may be retained when required for security, fraud prevention, or legal obligations.

10. International Data Transfers

Your data may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data regardless of location.

11. GDPR & CCPA Rights

If applicable in your jurisdiction, you have the right to: access your data (view all data in the app or export a copy), delete your data (use 'Delete My Account' in Settings), data portability (export in machine-readable format), right to be informed (this privacy policy), right to rectification (edit your data anytime), and right to withdraw consent (revoke optional permissions via iOS Settings or in-app controls).

12. No Sale of Data

We do not and will never sell your personal information to third parties. Your data is never shared with advertisers, data brokers, or marketing partners.
