1. Data Collected

In order to provide you with a complete pet health and wellness tracking experience, FocUS collects the following categories of data:

• Account and profile data: Email address, name and profile photo (when signing in via Google Sign-In or creating an account).
• Pet data: Name, species, breed, sex, date of birth, weight, medical history, meal records, hygiene care, vaccines and veterinary contacts.
• Geolocation (GPS) data: Real-time geographic location collected only during active walk sessions initiated by the user (Walk Tracker).
• Usage data and advertising identifiers: Android advertising identifier (AD_ID) and advertising interaction data processed via the Google Mobile Ads SDK.

2. Use of Data

Your data is processed exclusively for the following purposes:

• Management and display of the digital health record for your pets.
• Scheduling and triggering of local reminders (meal, vaccine and treatment alarms).
• Recording and tracing of routes during your walks with your companion.
• Automatic backup and multi-device synchronisation (via Firebase and Google Drive AppData).
• Display of personalised or non-personalised ads (via Google AdMob for Freemium accounts).

3. Data Sharing and Storage

Your personal data is never sold to third parties. It may be shared only in the following cases:

• Cloud services (Firebase & Google Drive): Your data is securely stored on Google Cloud / Firebase servers and synchronised to your own private Google Drive space if cloud backup is enabled.
• Google AdMob advertising network: For users of the free version, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect device identifiers (AD_ID) to serve ads.
• Sharing with other users (Sitter / Viewer mode): If you choose to invite a relative or a sitter to view your pet's record.

4. Geolocation Data

The app requests background and foreground location access only to enable accurate tracing of your walk routes. Location is not tracked outside of active walk sessions. By default, GPS routes remain strictly private to the walker.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights:

• Right of access and export: You can export all of your data at any time from the app's settings (JSON Export).
• Right of rectification and deletion: You can edit or delete any pet profile or record directly from the app.
• Right to withdraw consent: You can disable GPS access or switch to the FocUS Premium plan to turn off AdMob ads.
