What we collect

• Account data: email, name, role (owner / vet / shelter / admin).
• Pet data: chip ID, species, breed, photos, medical and behavior records, ownership history.
• Provider data: license number, state, license document (private storage).
• Application data: adoption application fields you submit.

How we use it

To operate the Service: lookup, verification, lost/found, billing, fraud prevention, and required legal compliance.

What is public vs private

By default, owner name, precise location, and medical summaries are hidden on public scan pages. Bite history is always visible — this is a product promise to protect future adopters and the public. Manage your visibility at /privacy.

• Payment processing (Stripe)
• Email delivery (when configured)

Retention

Cookies & analytics
