PawBook Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 10, 2026

PawBook is an app designed to help users organize information related to the care, wellbeing, health, nutrition and documentation of their pets.

This policy explains what information PawBook may handle, where it is stored, what it is used for, and what options the user has.

1. Controller

Controller: Damián Quiles Navarro
Contact: privacy@pawbook.app
App: PawBook

2. Privacy principles

PawBook has been designed with a privacy-first approach.

PawBook:

• Does not sell data.
• Does not use personalized advertising.
• Does not use advertising tracking.
• Has no server of its own in the current version.
• Does not create its own user accounts.
• Does not use external nutrition databases.
• Does not query Open Pet Food Facts or similar services.
• Does not use the information entered by the user for external commercial purposes.

Information is stored mainly on the user's device. If the user enables iCloud sync, certain data may be synced via iCloud/CloudKit, within the user's Apple account.

3. What information PawBook may handle

PawBook lets the user enter and manage information about their pets.

This information may include:

• Pet name.
• Species.
• Breed, if entered.
• Sex.
• Date of birth or age.
• Weight.
• Profile photo.
• Microchip number, if entered.
• Allergies or intolerances.
• Veterinary information.
• Notes or observations.

PawBook may also allow logging information related to the pet's care, such as:

• Symptoms.
• Conditions or trackers.
• Medication.
• Vaccines.
• Vet visits.
• Daily wellbeing.
• Energy.
• Appetite.
• Stools.
• Mood.
• Hydration.
• Routines.
• Reminders.
• Nutrition.
• Documents, images or files added by the user.

The user decides what information they enter into PawBook.

4. What the information is used for

The information is used to enable PawBook to function and its core features, such as:

• Creating and displaying pet profiles.
• Organizing health, wellbeing, nutrition and care information.
• Showing histories and records.
• Creating reminders and notifications.
• Preparing vet consultations.
• Generating summaries or exportable documents, such as PDFs.
• Showing informational insights based on the recorded information.
• Syncing data across devices via iCloud, if the user enables this feature.
• Sharing information about specific pets with invited people, if the user uses Family Sync.

PawBook does not use this information for advertising, data sales or advertising tracking.

5. Data storage

PawBook stores information mainly on the user's device.

If iCloud sync is enabled, certain data may be stored and synced via iCloud/CloudKit. In that case, the information is managed within the user's Apple/iCloud account and is also subject to Apple's terms and privacy policies.

PawBook does not keep its own server with a centralized copy of pets' private data.

6. iCloud, CloudKit and Family Sync

PawBook may use iCloud/CloudKit to sync information across the user's Apple devices.

If the Family Sync feature is available and the user chooses to use it, they may share information about a specific pet with other invited people via CloudKit Sharing mechanisms.

The user controls what information they enter, which pets they share and with whom they share them.

7. Photos, camera and documents

PawBook may request access to the camera or photo library for features such as:

• Adding pet photos.
• Adding documents or images related to veterinary care.
• Scanning nutrition labels.
• Associating images with health, wellbeing, visit or document records.
• Displaying images within the app.

PawBook may allow adding documents or files, such as veterinary reports, booklets, prescriptions, identification documents or photographs.

These documents may contain personal or veterinary information. The user is responsible for deciding which documents they add to PawBook.

PawBook does not use photos, images or documents for advertising or tracking.

8. OCR and nutrition analysis

PawBook may analyze nutrition labels using on-device OCR and the app's internal rules.

OCR allows reading text from labels selected or scanned by the user to help interpret nutritional information or product characteristics.

Nutrition analysis is informational and depends on image quality, available text and PawBook's internal rules.

PawBook does not query external nutrition databases and does not use Open Pet Food Facts or similar services.

9. Location and veterinary clinics

PawBook may request access to location to help find nearby veterinary clinics or show map-related information.

Location is used solely for this purpose.

PawBook does not keep a history of the user's location.

Map or place-search features may rely on system services such as Apple Maps or MapKit.

10. Apple Calendar and Reminders

PawBook may optionally integrate with Apple Calendar and Reminders if the user grants permission.

These features may be used to create events or reminders related to pet care, such as vet visits, medication, vaccines, routines or other tasks.

The user decides whether to grant these permissions and can revoke them from the device settings.

11. Notifications

PawBook may send local notifications related to reminders set by the user, such as:

• Medication.
• Vaccines.
• Routines.
• Wellbeing.
• Events.
• Custom reminders.

The user can enable, disable or modify notifications from the app or from the device settings.

12. Purchases and subscriptions

PawBook may offer premium features via in-app purchases or subscriptions managed by Apple.

Payment is handled through Apple. PawBook does not access the user's full payment data.

PawBook may check purchase or subscription status to unlock premium features or allow restoring purchases.

13. Exports and PDFs

PawBook may allow generating PDFs, summaries or exportable documents with pet information.

These exports are generated at the user's request.

The user decides whether to save, share or send those documents outside PawBook.

14. Data retention and deletion

Data is kept as long as the user keeps the information within PawBook.

The user can delete profiles, records, documents or files from the app, according to the available options.

If iCloud sync is enabled, some data may be synced with iCloud and also depend on the user's Apple/iCloud account configuration.

Deleting the app from the device may remove local data, but not necessarily data that is synced or stored in iCloud.

15. Third-party services

PawBook does not use advertising services, advertising tracking or data sales.

PawBook may rely on system or Apple services for features such as:

• iCloud/CloudKit.
• CloudKit Sharing.
• StoreKit.
• Apple Maps or MapKit.
• Calendar.
• Reminders.
• Notifications.
• Camera and photo library.
• OCR technologies available on the device.

These services are also subject to Apple's terms and privacy policies.

16. Product links in Wishlist

PawBook allows creating or completing a Wishlist item from a product link entered by the user.

When the user enters a link, PawBook may query that web address directly from the device to try to obtain basic product information, such as the title, an image or an indicative price, when the page allows it. This query is a direct connection from the user's device to the indicated website, does not go through a PawBook server, and may use a small amount of data.

PawBook does not store the HTML code or the full content of the queried page. It only keeps the necessary item information, such as the name, the link, an optimized image and, if detected, an indicative price and the date it was captured.

Detecting information from links is optional and may not be available. If nothing is obtained, the item is still created with the data the user enters.

17. Minors

PawBook is not specifically directed at minors.

If a minor uses PawBook, they must do so with the authorization of their legal guardians when necessary.

18. User rights

The user may request information about their data or exercise the rights that apply under the applicable regulations, including access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing and portability where applicable.

To exercise these rights or make any privacy-related inquiry, you can contact:

privacy@pawbook.app

19. Changes to this policy

This privacy policy may be updated to reflect changes in PawBook, new features, legal changes or improvements in the way privacy is explained.

The date of the last update will appear at the top of this policy.
