Pet in Chat (the "Platform") places the utmost importance on your privacy and the security of your personal data in the pet-parent community services we provide through our mobile application.

1.1. Data Responsibility

Information in your user profile — such as your age, gender, your pets and their species and breed, and the activities you are up for — is shared with other platform users so that pet-parent matching can be performed. In line with our privacy principles, your private messages and your conversations in voice rooms are never sold or shared with third parties or advertisers.

1.2. Device Permissions

While using the app, the following permissions are required on your device:

  • Camera and Gallery: Used so you can upload a profile photo or share images during chat.
  • Microphone: Required so you can talk in voice rooms and send voice messages.
  • Location: Used to accurately detect and list pet parents, veterinarians and lost-pet alerts near you.
  • Notifications: Used to provide instant updates about new matches, messages, and contest invitations.

1.3. Categories of Data We Collect

Depending on how you use the app, we process the following categories of personal data:

  • Account data: email address, phone number, date of birth, name, bio, and profile photo.
  • Location data: approximate latitude/longitude and derived city/country, used for nearby-owner matching.
  • Device data: a hashed device identifier, IP address, application version, and push-notification token.
  • Usage data: in-app activity events, crash reports, and session information, used to keep the service stable and to improve it.

Your private messages and your conversations in voice rooms are never sold or shared with third parties or advertisers.

1.4. Account Deletion and Data Retention

You can deactivate your profile or delete your account entirely at any time from the in-app settings menu. Both self-service account deletion and data deletion are available inside the application. The personal data of deleted accounts is permanently removed from our systems.

1.5. Advertising at mga Third-Party Vendor

Hindi kami nagpapakita ng mga ad sa aming website (petinchat.com); lumalabas ang mga ad sa loob ng Pet in Chat app pagkatapos mong mag-sign in, inihahatid ng Google AdMob sa libreng tier, at inaalis ang mga ito ng subscription na Plus, Gold o Premium. Gayunpaman, tumatakbo ang Google AdSense script sa aming mga web page, kaya maaaring maisulat doon ang mga advertising cookie ng Google. Gumagamit ang mga third-party vendor, kabilang ang Google, ng cookies at mobile advertising identifier upang maghatid at sumukat ng mga ad batay sa iyong mga naunang pagbisita sa site na ito at sa iba pang site o app. Hindi kailanman natatanggap ng mga advertiser ang iyong mga pribadong mensahe, mga usapan sa voice room o mga detalye ng contact mo: nakabatay ang pagpili ng ad sa cookie at identifier na kinokolekta ng Google, hindi sa nilalaman ng iyong mga usapan. Sa web, itinatakda lang ang advertising cookies pagkatapos mong tanggapin ang kategoryang "Marketing"; sa iOS puwede mo ring tanggihan ang app tracking. Puwede mong i-off ang personalized advertising anumang oras sa Google Ad Settings. Nasa aming Patakaran sa Cookie at SDK ang kumpletong listahan ng cookies at lahat ng opt-out link.
