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. 广告与第三方供应商

我们不在网站（petinchat.com）上展示广告；广告在登录 Pet in Chat 应用后于应用内显示，免费版本由 Google AdMob 投放，订阅 Plus、Gold 或 Premium 即可关闭。不过 Google AdSense 脚本确实在我们的网页上运行，因此那里可能会写入 Google 广告 Cookie。包括 Google 在内的第三方供应商会使用 Cookie 和移动广告标识符，根据您此前对本网站及其他网站或应用的访问情况投放和衡量广告。广告主绝不会获得您的私信、语音房间对话或联系方式：广告选择依据的是 Google 收集的 Cookie 与标识符数据，而非您的对话内容。在网页端，只有在您接受“营销”类别后才会设置广告 Cookie；在 iOS 上，您还可以拒绝应用跟踪。您可以随时在 Google 广告设置 中关闭个性化广告。完整的 Cookie 列表和所有退出链接见我们的《Cookie 与 SDK 政策》。
