Privacy Policy

1Information We Collect

We collect the following information when you use Lumis Paw:

• Account information: Your email address, used for authentication and account management. If you sign in with Google, we receive your email address and a unique identifier from Google to create or link your account. We do not access your Google contacts, calendar, or other data.
• Pet profiles: Pet name, type (dog or cat), breed, birth date, sex, weight, microchip ID, allergen information, and profile photo.
• Reminders: Vaccine, medication, grooming, and vet visit schedules you create, including due dates, recurrence settings, notification preferences, and completion history.
• Food scans: When you use the ingredient scanner, photos of food labels are captured by your device camera, processed on your device (cropped and compressed), and sent to Google's Gemini API for text extraction. Photos are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers or Google's servers beyond the processing request.
• Search history: Records of food items you have searched for or scanned within the app.
• Favorites: Food items you mark as favorites.
• App settings: Your language preference, theme, and other in-app configuration choices.

2How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and operate the Lumis Paw service, including food safety checks for your pets.
• Sync your data across devices so you can access your pet profiles, search history, and favorites anywhere.
• Manage your account and authenticate your identity.
• Process subscriptions and manage your plan tier.
• Improve and develop the app based on usage patterns.

3Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate Lumis Paw:

• Supabase: Provides authentication (receives your email address) and database hosting (stores your pet profiles, search history, favorites, and settings). Supabase processes data in accordance with their privacy policy.
• RevenueCat: Manages subscription billing and entitlements. RevenueCat receives an anonymous user identifier and subscription status. They do not receive your email or pet data.
• Apple App Store / Google Play Store: Processes payment transactions for subscriptions. Payment details are handled entirely by Apple or Google and are never shared with us.
• Expo / EAS Update (Expo by 650 Industries, Inc., United States): Delivers over-the-air updates to app code. Receives device IP address, platform, and a per-install update identifier on every app launch when enabled.
• Google Gemini API: When you use the food label scanning feature, photos of food labels are sent to Google's Gemini API for ingredient text extraction (OCR). We do not store your photos. Google processes photos in accordance with their Gemini API Terms of Service.
• Google Sign-In: If you choose to sign in with Google, your Google account email and unique identifier are used to create or link your Lumis Paw account via Supabase authentication. We do not access any other Google account data.

Note: Over-the-air (OTA) updates deliver app improvements without requiring a store update. This process transmits your device platform and a per-install identifier to Expo's update servers.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
