Amidipet

Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 15, 2026

Amidipet ("Amidipet", "we") is the social app for dog people — available on iOS, Android, and the web at app.amidipet.app — and this website. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect what the service needs to work, we never sell your personal data, and we never collect your GPS location — you tell us your city, and that's as precise as it gets.

1. Who is responsible

Amidipet is the data controller for the processing described here. For anything privacy-related, write to bonjour@amidipet.app.

2. What we collect

• Account. Your email address and name. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive the identifiers they share (never your password). Passwords for email sign-up are stored hashed — we cannot read them.
• Profile. Your display name, handle, photo, an optional bio, and the city you choose. Your city powers local discovery; we never access GPS or precise location.
• Your dogs. The profiles you create for them — name, breed, photos, birthday.
• Content. Posts, photos, video clips, voice notes, comments, and likes you publish; the communities you join and the connections you make.
• Private messages. Direct and group messages are stored so we can deliver them. We do not read or scan them. The only time a private message reaches a human reviewer is when a participant attaches it as evidence to an abuse report.
• Technical data. A session cookie to keep you signed in, a push-notification token if you enable notifications, and server logs (IP address, timestamps) kept for security and debugging.

3. Why we process it

• To run Amidipet — accounts, feeds, communities, messaging, media (performance of our contract with you).
• To keep it safe — moderation of reported content, abuse prevention, security (our legitimate interest in a safe community).
• To notify you — push notifications, only if you turn them on (consent).
• To send account email — verification and password-reset messages (contract).
• To show ads — see the next section (consent where required, otherwise legitimate interest in funding a free service).

4. Advertising

Amidipet is free, funded by a small number of clearly-labeled sponsored cards in the home feed — never in your messages, on profiles, or in communities. Ads are served by Google AdMob. In the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland, personalized ads run only with your consent, collected through Google's certified consent form when you first use the app; decline and you'll see non-personalized ads instead. On iOS, ad personalization additionally requires your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. Google may process device identifiers and ad-interaction data as described in its own privacy policy; you can review its ad-technology partners here. You can change your consent or system ad settings at any time.

5. Who we share data with

We share personal data only with the processors that run the service, under data-processing agreements, and never for their own marketing:

• Cloudflare — hosting, content delivery, and photo/audio storage.
• Crunchy Data — our database.
• Bunny Stream — video hosting and streaming.
• Resend — transactional email (verification, password reset).
• Expo — push-notification delivery.
• Apple / Google — sign-in, if you use it; Google additionally for ads (above).

We may also disclose data where the law requires it. If Amidipet is ever part of a merger or acquisition, this policy continues to apply to your data.

6. International transfers

Our infrastructure primarily serves from the European Union. Where a processor handles data outside the EU/EEA, the transfer is protected by recognized safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision (including the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where certified).

7. How long we keep it

Your data stays as long as your account does. Deleting your account — available in the app under Settings — removes your profile, dogs, posts, comments, and media; uploaded files are purged from storage shortly after. Server logs and backups age out on a rolling basis. We keep only what the law obliges us to keep (for example, records of a handled abuse report).

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you can access, correct, export, restrict, or delete your data, object to certain processing, and withdraw any consent — without affecting prior processing. Most of this you can do directly in the app; for the rest, email bonjour@amidipet.app and we'll respond within a month. You can also lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority — in France, the CNIL.

9. Children

Amidipet is not directed at children. You must be at least 16 to use it. If we learn an account belongs to someone younger, we will delete it.

10. Security

All traffic is encrypted in transit (TLS). Passwords are hashed, media links are signed and expire, and access to production systems is restricted and credentialed. No service can promise perfect security, but if a breach affects you, we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires.

11. Cookies

The app and web app use one essential session cookie to keep you signed in. This website stores only your theme and language preferences, on your device. We run no third-party analytics or tracking cookies on either.

12. Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll tell you in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top always reflects the current version.
