Effective 25 July 2026
Pooppy is a dog-health diary: you log your dog's poops, pees, meals and walks, and the app shows patterns and predictions. This policy explains what data the app handles and where it goes. The short version: your data exists so the app can work for you — we don't sell it, we don't run ads, and we don't share it with anyone beyond the infrastructure that stores it.
With your permission, Pooppy saves your dog walks to Apple Health as walking workouts, and reads your body weight and biological sex solely to make walk-calorie estimates more accurate. Raw Health data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to our servers. The resulting calorie estimate is stored with the walk log, which means it syncs with that walk like the rest of its details.
Synced data (account, dogs, logs, walks) is stored in Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore), which acts as our infrastructure provider and processes data on our behalf. Traffic is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS).
If you sign up for the beta on pooppy.health, we store the email address you enter, the page language, and a timestamp in Cloud Firestore, and use them solely to contact you about the Pooppy beta. They're never used for anything else, never shared, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time.
If you invite someone into your Pooppy household (or join theirs), everyone in that household sees and manages the same dogs and logs: dog profiles, bathroom entries, meals, walks (including walk routes), and who logged each of them, along with each member's display name. Photos are not shared — they stay on the device that took them. Leaving a household (or deleting your account while others remain in it) removes your access and your membership, but the dogs and history you contributed stay with the household. If you are the last member, deleting your account deletes the household's data with it.
When you pick a breed, the app fetches a public list of dog breeds from dogapi.dog. Nothing about you or your dogs is sent with that request — but as with any web request, that service can see your device's IP address.
Reminder notifications (for example, predicted bathroom windows) are generated on your device. You can turn them off anytime in the app's Profile or in iOS Settings.
You can delete individual dogs, entries or walks in the app at any time. To delete your entire account and everything synced with it, open Profile → Delete Account in the app: it removes your account, all synced data, and the photos stored on your device. If you'd rather we did it for you, email andras.tar@me.com.
Pooppy is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this address. Questions or requests: andras.tar@me.com.
