Habitat & Pet Data: Information you enter about habitats, pets, care logs, reminders, and settings is stored locally on your device using local storage. This data is not uploaded to our servers.

BioLens Images / AI Inputs: When you use AI-powered features such as BioLens, images or text you submit are transmitted to our servers and processed using third-party AI providers, including Google Gemini. Images are used only for processing and are not stored by us after analysis is complete.

Subscription Information: Subscriptions are processed through RevenueCat and the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not collect or store your payment card information.

Usage Data: We may store limited usage counters (such as AI request counts or feature usage totals) locally on your device to enforce free-tier limits.
