Privacy Policy
Last updated: 05/Aug/2026
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our application ("Pawz App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our services:
Location Data
We may collect and process your device's location information to provide and enhance certain features within the App. Location data is used primarily to support the map functionality and the dog walking features, allowing the App to display your position, record walking routes, calculate distance travelled, and provide other location-based services.
Location tracking may occur while you are actively using these features and, where applicable, only with your permission. We collect only the location information necessary to deliver the requested functionality and do not access your location unless you have granted the appropriate permissions through your device settings.
You can control or revoke location access at any time through your device's privacy settings. Please note that disabling location permissions may limit or prevent certain map and dog walking features from functioning correctly.
Email Address
Your email is collected for account creation, authentication, communication, and support.
Password
Your password is used to secure your account. We store it in encrypted form and never in plain text.
