At AI Dog Scan, we believe your dog's privacy is just as important as yours.
This policy explains how we handle information in our dog show evaluation app,
designed with transparency and simplicity in mind.
🐕 What We Collect
We keep things simple and respect your privacy. Here's what we actually collect:
- Photos You Choose: Only the dog photos you actively select for analysis. We do not access your full gallery.
- App Usage Data: Basic analytics to understand how features are used (aggregated).
- Crash Diagnostics: Device and error information to help us fix crashes.
🤖 AI Analysis & Third-Party Services
Our AI analysis is powered by third-party services we trust:
- OpenAI: Processes the photo to generate the evaluation.
- Firebase Analytics: Aggregated usage analytics.
- Firebase Crashlytics: Crash reporting and diagnostics.
Important: We do not share your photos with other users or create social features.
Your dog's evaluation stays between you and the AI judges.
🔒 What We DON'T Collect
We're proud to say we don't collect:
- Your name, email, or personal contact information
- Location data or GPS coordinates
- Social media accounts or connections
- Payment information
- Any data that could identify you personally
📱 How We Use Your Information
Every piece of data we collect serves a specific, dog-focused purpose:
- Photo Analysis: To provide instant, AI-powered dog show evaluations
- Result History: To let you revisit past evaluations and track your dog's progress
- Notifications (Optional): Only if you enable them on your device
- App Improvement: To make the experience better for all users
🛡️ Data Security & Storage
We treat your dog's data with the same care we'd want for our own pets:
- Photos are stored locally on your device for your history
- Photos are sent to OpenAI only for analysis
- We use secure connections (HTTPS) for all network requests
- Crash and analytics data are handled by Firebase
👥 Sharing & Third Parties
We don't sell, rent, or share your data with anyone. Period. The only exceptions are:
- Service Providers: Our trusted partners (OpenAI, Firebase) who help us deliver the app
- Legal Requirements: If required by law (though we'd fight to protect your privacy)
- Your Consent: Only if you explicitly ask us to share something
🎯 Your Rights & Controls
You're always in control of your dog's data:

- Opt-Out: Turn off notifications in your device settings
- Complete Deletion: Uninstall the app to remove local data
