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. Publicité et fournisseurs tiers

Nous n'affichons pas d'annonces sur notre site (petinchat.com) ; les annonces apparaissent dans l'application Pet in Chat après connexion, diffusées par Google AdMob dans l'offre gratuite, et un abonnement Plus, Gold ou Premium les désactive. Le script Google AdSense s'exécute en revanche sur nos pages web, si bien que des cookies publicitaires Google peuvent y être déposés. Les fournisseurs tiers, y compris Google, utilisent des cookies et des identifiants publicitaires mobiles pour diffuser et mesurer des annonces selon vos visites antérieures sur ce site et sur d'autres sites ou applications. Les annonceurs ne reçoivent jamais vos messages privés, vos conversations en salons vocaux ni vos coordonnées : la sélection des annonces repose sur les données de cookies et d'identifiants collectées par Google, pas sur le contenu de vos conversations. Sur le Web, les cookies publicitaires ne sont déposés qu'après acceptation de la catégorie "Marketing" ; sous iOS, vous pouvez en outre refuser le suivi des applications. Vous pouvez désactiver la publicité personnalisée à tout moment dans les Paramètres des annonces Google. La liste complète des cookies et les liens de désinscription figurent dans notre Politique relative aux cookies et aux SDK.
