CYPet Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 18, 2026
CYPet ("the app") is a pet health record and reminder app for iPhone, made by Anvar Rakhmadullaev, an individual developer based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan ("we", "us"). This policy explains what the app does with your information. The short version: your data stays on your device and in your own iCloud account. We do not collect, receive, sell or share it. We have no servers.
What the app stores
You enter information about your pets: profiles (name, species, breed, birth date, microchip and insurance numbers, photo), vaccines, medications and doses, vet visits, weight entries, conditions and notes, and documents you scan or import (for example vaccination certificates or invoices) together with the text the app recognizes in them.
All of this is stored:
- on your iPhone, in the app's private storage, protected by iOS data protection; and
- in your iCloud account (Apple's CloudKit service), if you are signed in to iCloud, so that the same records appear on your other devices and can be shared with your family.
We, the developer, have no access to your iCloud account or to anything in it. Apple's handling of iCloud data is described in Apple's privacy policy at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.
What we collect
Nothing. The app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking software, does not create accounts and never sends your data to us or to anyone else. The App Store privacy label for CYPet is "Data Not Collected".
If you email us for support, we receive what you send us (your email address and message) and use it only to answer you.
Family sharing
If you choose to share a household, the app uses Apple's iCloud sharing (CKShare). The people you invite can see and, depending on the permission you give them, edit the records in that household through their own iCloud accounts. You can change permissions, remove participants or stop sharing at any time from Settings › Family Sharing; participants can leave at any time. Apple's servers deliver the shared data; we are not involved.
Device permissions
The app asks for permissions only when you use the related feature, and you can withdraw them in the iOS Settings app at any time:
- Camera — to scan documents and take pet photos. Images are processed on your device.
- Photo library — to pick pet photos and documents from your library.
- Notifications — to remind you about vaccines, medication doses and follow-up visits. Reminders are scheduled locally on your device.
- Face ID / Touch ID — to unlock the app if you turn on App Lock. Biometric data never leaves your device and is not available to the app.
Text recognition in scanned documents runs entirely on your device using Apple's Vision framework.
Purchases
CYPet Premium is sold through Apple's In-App Purchase system. Apple processes the payment and handles your billing information; we receive no payment details. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period and can be managed in Settings › Apple Account › Subscriptions on your device.
Your rights and controls
Because your data is stored only on your device and in your iCloud account, you control it directly:
- Access and portability — Settings › Export All Data creates a ZIP with every record (JSON) and every file.
- Correction — edit any record in the app.
- Deletion — Settings › Delete All Data removes everything from the device and from your iCloud account, including data in the app's CloudKit zone. Deleting the app removes the local copy; iCloud data remains until you delete it in the app or in iOS Settings › Apple Account › iCloud › Manage Account Storage.
For the purposes of the EU/UK GDPR the developer is the data controller for the app, but processes no personal data on servers; storage and sync are performed by Apple under your agreement with Apple. The legal basis for storing the information you enter is the performance of your request to keep pet records (contract).
Children
CYPet is rated 4+ but is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for material changes, note it in the app's release notes. The current version is always at https://anvar1511.github.io/cypet-site/privacy.html.
