This Privacy Policy explains how Swazzi collects, uses, shares, and protects information for Swazzi websites and apps, including Puppy Playdate. This policy is written for practical product launch and store review purposes and should be reviewed by counsel before final publication.
Information we may collect
Depending on the app features you use, Swazzi apps may collect or process:
- Account information: email address, authentication identifiers, account settings, and related sign-in details.
- Owner profile: name, display name, profile details, preferences, and app settings.
- Puppy profile: puppy name, age, breed, photos, personality details, and other profile information you choose to provide.
- Photos and documents: uploaded photos and vaccination documents.
- Location: approximate or foreground location when needed for local playdate, discovery, safety, or app features. Location collection depends on device permissions.
- Playdate activity: playdate requests, scheduled playdates, Wag Signals, availability, preferences, and related activity.
- Messages and conversations: messages, conversations, and related metadata where messaging features are available.
- Safety and moderation: reports, moderation records, blocked users, abuse-prevention records, and related support communications.
- Device and diagnostics: device type, app version, operating system, performance information, and crash reports if crash reporting is enabled.
How we use information
We use information to operate accounts, provide app features, support local discovery and playdate coordination, show user and puppy profiles, deliver messaging where available, review reports, enforce community standards, improve reliability, respond to support requests, protect users and the service, and comply with legal obligations.
Third-party providers
We use service providers only as needed to operate the apps and website. These may include Supabase for backend services such as authentication, database, and storage; Expo/EAS for app development, build, update, and delivery services; and Sentry for crash reporting only if Sentry is enabled and configured for the app. These providers process information according to their own terms and privacy practices.
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers, when you choose to make information visible to other users through app features, to investigate safety or abuse reports, to comply with law, or to protect Swazzi, our users, or the public.
Photos, vaccination documents, and messages
Photos, vaccination documents, messages, and conversations may contain personal information. Use discretion when uploading or sending content. We use this content to provide the requested app features, support safety and moderation, and respond to user support needs.
Location
Puppy Playdate may request approximate or foreground location access to help users find relevant local playdate opportunities and related features. You can manage location permissions in your device settings. Some features may not work without location permission.
Data retention and deletion
You may delete your Puppy Playdate account in the app through Settings → Delete Account. When an account is deleted, we aim to delete the auth account, owner profile, puppy profile, uploaded photos, vaccination documents, and other account-linked data as described on the Delete Account page. We may retain limited moderation, safety, security, fraud-prevention, support, or legal records when reasonably necessary.
Children
Swazzi apps are not intended for children under the minimum age required by applicable law or app store rules. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can review and respond.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No system is perfect, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy as our apps evolve. The effective date above will be updated when material changes are made.
