Why my Pet: AI Pet Advisor
Last updated: 25 October 2026
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. It explains what personal data we process when you use the Why my Pet mobile application, why we process it, who we share it with, and what rights you have.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Why my Pet: AI Pet Advisor mobile application for iOS (the “App”) and the services available through it (together, the “Services”).
The controller of your personal data is Daryna Halavan, an individual developer established in Portugal (“we”, “us”, “our”). You can contact us about any privacy matter at [email protected].
“Personal data” means information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, as defined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”). This policy applies to all App users. The U.S. State Privacy Notice at the end additionally applies where relevant.
When you create an account with email and password, we process your email address and password in protected form. If you use Google Sign-In, we receive the identifier, name, and email address Google shares with us. If you use Sign in with Apple, we receive Apple's account identifier and the email address you choose to share, which may be a private relay address; Apple supplies your name only during initial authorization if you choose to share it. We also generate a random internal user ID linked to your account.
We process the details you choose to enter about a pet, including name, species, breed, age, weight, personality, avatar style, and pet photos. Free accounts are limited to one editable pet; Premium accounts may use additional pet profiles subject to the App’s current subscription terms.
We process the questions, messages, and optional pet photos you send in each pet’s chat, together with the AI-generated answers. Do not include information about people, such as faces, identity documents, addresses, or human health information. The chat is intended for questions about pets.
We process pet-profile context submitted to generate an AI avatar, the selected style, and generated images. Avatar generation does not send selected chat photos to Gemini.
Subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your card or bank details. We receive information needed to manage access, such as product ID, subscription status, transaction and renewal information, country or currency data supplied with the transaction, and store transaction identifiers. Superwall helps present paywalls and manage the purchase experience; subscription entitlement is verified by our backend using Apple transaction data.
The App may collect device model, operating-system and app versions, language, time zone, approximate country derived from network information, IP address as handled by service providers, the random App user ID, and bounded in-app events such as first open, onboarding completion, pet creation, avatar generation, chat completion, paywall outcomes, subscription outcomes, navigation, and errors.
