Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-05-29
HomeCare puts your and your pet’s privacy first. Everything you enter and every photo you take stays only on your own phone — we can’t see it or touch it. This page explains how the app and this website handle your data.
In-app data
We collect no personal data
App data stays on your phone by default and is never sent, uploaded, or synced to us. We have no servers of our own and no accounts, so your data simply never reaches us. You don’t register or create an account, and we never ask for your name, email, or phone.
Data scope
The app may store the following on your device locally:
- Your pets: name, species, breed, sex, birthday and weight
- Daily check-ins and health records: food, toilet, mood, vaccines, medication and grooming
- Fridge contents and use-by dates, shopping lists, grocery spending, meal lists and recipe preferences, along with album photos, walk logs, vet, boarding and groomer contacts, and pet costs
- Your reminder times for check-ins and expiring food, and whether Premium is unlocked
By default all of it stays on your device. Reading a use-by date from packaging also happens on the device, and those photos never leave it; the first time, the phone downloads the recognition model (download only — photos are never uploaded). If you turn on cloud sync, a backup copy also goes to your own cloud storage (see “Cloud backup” below). Delete the app and the data on the phone goes with it.
Permissions
The app requests these permissions only when needed:
Taking album and check-in photos of your pets, and photographing packaging to read use-by dates — only the shot you take
Letting you pick one photo from your library; we never read the library itself and never upload it
Local notifications for check-in reminders, vaccines and medication due, and food about to expire — no server involved
Not requested. Walk logs are typed in by hand; there is no GPS and no location tracking
Cloud backup (only when you turn it on)
HomeCare does not connect to any cloud by default. Only after you turn on cloud sync in Settings does the backup start uploading — into your own iCloud or Google Drive, visible only to devices signed in to the same account. We don’t have your account or any servers, so we can’t see what’s in it. Turn it off in Settings and the cloud copy stops updating.
Cloud sync and exporting / importing backup files are Premium features. Without them, a new phone starts from scratch.
Outbound connections
The app is on-device first. Unless you turn on cloud sync yourself, your pet’s data, photos, and records are never sent to any cloud or server; the first time you use photo reading, the app downloads the recognition model — download only, your photos are never uploaded. There are no ads and no analytics or tracking tools (no Google Analytics, Firebase, or Meta tracking). The app never reads your phone’s contacts — the “Vets” and “Contacts” entries are typed in by you; tapping call or navigate simply hands off to your Phone or Maps app. Apple App Store / Google Play payment systems process the Premium one-time purchase; card details are handled by the platform, and the app only receives a “paid” receipt and never touches your payment data.
Deleting data
You can delete a pet at any time in pet management (which removes all of its records), delete a single record on any page, or delete the whole app from your phone (all data disappears with it). Since we hold none of your data, there’s no need to write to us to request deletion.
Website inquiry form
When you fill in the inquiry form on this site, we receive your name, email, subject, message, IP, and browser info, used only to reply to your question. We don’t use it for marketing or pass it to third parties.
Website third-party services
This site's connection and security protection are provided by Cloudflare, and notification emails from the contact form are sent through Postmark / Resend. These services only handle what is needed to show the site and send mail, and never touch the data the app keeps on your device.
Your rights
You can email buy.weimi@gmail.com at any time to access, correct, or delete your inquiry records.
Children’s privacy
The app is suitable for the whole family caring for a pet, including children helping with check-ins. Because we collect no user data, children’s use leaves no records anywhere external.
Policy changes
If this privacy notice changes in the future (for example, if we ever add a feature that needs a network connection), we’ll update the effective date on this page with the next app release so you know what’s different.
