Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how DoggoDex ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares your information when you use our mobile application and related services.

DoggoDex is operated by a developer based in Austria and acts as the data controller for your personal data.

By using DoggoDex, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may collect the following types of information:

a) User Content

• Images you upload (e.g. dog photos or related content)
• Profile information such as username or display name

b) Usage Data

• App interactions and feature usage
• Device information (e.g. device type, operating system)

c) Social Data

• Friend connections within the app
• Content shared with or visible to your friends

d) Authentication Data

• Login information provided via authentication providers (e.g. email or third-party login)

• Provide and operate the app’s core features
• Store and display your uploaded images
• Enable social features, including sharing images with users on your friend list
• Process images using third-party AI services to provide features such as dog breed recognition
• Improve and maintain the app
• Ensure safety and prevent misuse

Images you upload are stored on our servers.

Depending on how you use the app:

• Your images may be visible to users you have added as friends
• You are responsible for the content you upload and share

We do not make your images publicly available outside the app unless explicitly stated.

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share data only in the following cases:

• With service providers that help us operate the app, including cloud hosting providers and authentication services
• With third-party AI services used for image processing (e.g. Google Gemini)
• If required by law or legal obligation
• To protect the safety, rights, or integrity of our users and platform

To provide certain features of DoggoDex (such as dog breed recognition), images you upload may be securely transmitted to third-party artificial intelligence services, including Google Gemini.

These services process the images to generate results (e.g. breed detection). This processing is necessary for the functionality of the app.

We may also use third-party service providers such as cloud hosting providers and authentication services to operate the app.

We do not sell your personal data and only share data with third parties as necessary to provide the service.

Third-party providers may process data outside your country of residence, including outside the European Union. We take reasonable steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the service.

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us via email. Where available, account deletion may also be performed directly within the app.

Depending on your location (including the EU), you may have the right to:

• Access your personal data
• Request correction or deletion
• Restrict or object to processing

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

DoggoDex is not intended for children under 13 (or the applicable age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
