Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, share, and protect your data.

Your data at MyPoopPal

What we collect

  • Account information: your email address (and a hashed password managed by our auth provider).
  • Dog profiles: name, breed, age/birthdate, weight, and optional photo.
  • Activity logs: stool color, consistency, amount, health flags, notes, and timestamps.
  • Photos: images you upload of your dog or its stool.
  • Approximate location: if you choose to attach it to a log, we store the coordinates of that log.
  • Technical data: error diagnostics and basic usage needed to operate and improve the service.

How we use it

We use your data to provide the core service: storing your logs, showing history and trends, optionally analyzing stool photos with AI to pre-fill fields, generating health insight summaries, and sharing dogs within a household you create. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

AI processing

When you use the photo-analysis or insights features, the relevant image or log data is sent to our AI provider (OpenAI) to generate a suggested classification or summary. These features are optional and only run when you trigger them.

Who we share it with (sub-processors)

We don't sell your information. To run the service we rely on a small set of trusted providers that process data on our behalf:

ProviderPurpose
SupabaseDatabase, authentication, and file storage
VercelApplication hosting and content delivery
OpenAIAI analysis of stool photos and health insight summaries
Cloudflare TurnstileBot / abuse protection on sign-up and sign-in
SentryError monitoring and diagnostics
OpenStreetMap (Nominatim)Turning coordinates into readable place names

We may also share data where required by law, or with your consent when you invite others to a household.

Households & sharing

If you create or join a household, other members of that household can see the shared dogs and their activity logs. Anyone with your invite code can join, so share it only with people you trust. The owner can regenerate the code at any time.

Data storage & security

Data is stored with Supabase and encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Access is restricted by row-level security so you can only reach your own (and your household's) records.

Retention

We keep your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, your profiles, logs, and uploaded photos are removed from our systems. Backups and third-party providers may retain copies for a limited period per their own policies.

Your rights

Access

View your data anytime in the app.

Update

Edit your dogs and profile at any time.

Export

Download a copy of your data from your account settings.

Delete

Permanently remove your account and data from settings.

Depending on where you live (e.g. the EU/UK under GDPR, or California under CCPA), you may have additional rights. Contact us to exercise them.

Not veterinary advice

MyPoopPal helps you track and notice patterns. It is not a medical device and does not provide veterinary diagnosis. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for health concerns.
