Pawdex Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 25, 2026

Last Updated: May 25, 2026

Pawdex is made by Furstenburg Digital LLC, a small team of dog lovers who built this app because we wanted it for our own dogs. We designed it from day one to keep your data exactly where it belongs: on your phone.

This Privacy Policy is short and written in plain language because we don't have anything complicated to hide.

The short version

We don't collect, store, see, sell, or share your data. None of it. Pawdex runs entirely on your device. We don't operate any servers, databases, or analytics systems that receive information from the app. If you stopped using Pawdex tomorrow, there would be nothing on our end to delete because nothing is ever sent to us.

What Pawdex stores on your device

When you use Pawdex, the app saves the information you enter so you can come back to it later. This includes:

• Your dog's profile (name, breed, photo, birthday, weight, and similar details)
• Feeding logs, walks, and daily activity entries
• Vet appointments, vaccine records, and prescriptions
• Medication schedules and reminders
• Weight history
• Notes and checklist progress
• App settings and preferences

All of this is stored locally on your phone using standard iOS and Android storage mechanisms. It is not transmitted to us or to anyone else. You can export this data at any time from the Settings screen, and you can delete it at any time by removing entries in the app or by deleting Pawdex from your device.

What we do not collect

To be specific, Pawdex does not collect:

• Your name, email address, or any contact information
• Your location
• Your device identifiers, IP address, or hardware information
• App usage analytics, screen time, or behavioral data
• Crash reports or diagnostic data sent to us
• Information about your dog beyond what is stored locally on your phone
• Anything else

Pawdex does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, marketing, or tracking SDKs. We are not part of any data exchange, ad network, or cross-app tracking system.

Permissions Pawdex may ask for

Some features need your permission to work. When you grant a permission, the data stays on your device.

• Notifications — so Pawdex can remind you about medication doses, vet appointments, and feeding times. All notifications are scheduled and delivered locally by your phone; we never see them.
• Photo Library and Camera — so you can add photos of your dog to their profile. Photos are stored locally on your device. They are not uploaded anywhere.

You can deny or revoke these permissions at any time in your phone's Settings. The app will continue to work — minus the specific feature that needs the permission.

Tips and donations

Pawdex is free and stays free. If you choose to leave an optional tip to support development, that purchase is processed by your phone's app store or, on the web, by a payment provider — not by us directly:

• On iOS: tips are processed by Apple as in-app purchases. Apple shares aggregate sales information with us (such as how many tips of which amount were purchased) but never your name, email, payment details, or other identifying information. Apple's handling of your payment is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
• On Android: tips are processed by Google as in-app purchases through Google Play Billing. Google shares aggregate sales information with us (such as how many tips of which amount were purchased) but never your name, email, payment details, or other identifying information. Google's handling of your payment is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
• On the web (furstenburgdigital.com): if you choose to tip from our website, the payment is processed by Stripe via a hosted payment page. Stripe handles all payment information directly; we receive only aggregate payout reports. Stripe's handling of your payment is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Tipping is completely optional. Nothing in Pawdex is locked, gated, or changed based on whether you tip.

App store data

When you download Pawdex from the App Store or Google Play, Apple and Google may share aggregate, anonymized information with us — such as total downloads, country of download, crash counts, and average star rating. We cannot identify any individual user from this information. Receiving these aggregated reports is standard for every app distributed through these stores and is not something we can opt out of. Apple's and Google's collection of this data is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Children's privacy

Pawdex is intended for adult dog owners. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. Because Pawdex collects no data of any kind, this policy applies equally to all users regardless of age.

International users

Pawdex is available worldwide. Because we collect no data, there are no international data transfers involved in your use of Pawdex. Any data stored locally on your device is governed by the privacy and security protections of your device's operating system.

Your rights

Because Pawdex doesn't collect your data, there is nothing on our end for you to access, correct, download, restrict, or delete. The data exists entirely on your device, and you have complete control over it:

• Access: open the app — everything is there.
• Export: Settings → Export Data.
• Delete: delete an entry in the app, clear its data, or delete the app from your device.

If you have questions about how to do any of these things, email us at support@furstenburgdigital.com.

Compliance with privacy laws

This policy is written to comply with major privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other applicable laws. Because Pawdex collects no personal information, most of the rights granted under these laws — such as the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data — do not apply in practice, as there is no data on our end to act on. If you have questions about how a specific law applies to your use of Pawdex, please contact us.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

If we make material changes to this policy — for example, when we add cloud sync features in a future version — we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top and post the new policy at this URL. For significant changes, we will also notify users inside the app on the next launch after the change takes effect.
