Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 11, 2026

This policy explains how That Dog (the “app”) and thatdog.app (the “site”), provided by Elytic Lab LLC (“we”, “us”), handle information. In short: we do not collect, sell or share your personal data, and the app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking.

Information you add to the app

The dogs, owners, sightings, notes, photos, phone numbers and places you enter are stored on your device. If you are signed in to iCloud, this data is synced through your own private iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit. We never receive or have access to this data, and we cannot read it. Your use of iCloud is governed by Apple’s privacy policy.

Location

If you choose “use current location” when saving where you met a dog, the app asks for permission and reads your location once, while the app is in use. The location is used to place a map pin and to look up a place name through Apple’s mapping services. It is stored only with that entry, on your device and in your iCloud account. The app does not track your location in the background.

Photos

Photos are selected with the system photo picker, so the app only sees the images you choose. Chosen photos are stored with your entries on your device and in your iCloud account.

Other people’s information

You may record details about other people, such as an owner’s name or phone number. This information stays in your own device and iCloud account. Please add only information you are comfortable keeping, and respect the privacy of others.

Contacting us through the site

If you use the contact form on this site, we receive the name, email address and message you submit, and use them only to reply to you. The form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile (spam protection), the site is hosted on Cloudflare, and messages are delivered by email through Resend. These providers process the information on our behalf. We keep correspondence only as long as needed to handle your request. The site does not use advertising or analytics cookies.

What we do not do

We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, build profiles, or track you across other apps and websites.

Retention and deletion

Your app data lives on your device and in your iCloud account, so you control it. Deleting entries or the app removes the on-device copy, and you can manage or delete iCloud data in iOS Settings → [your name] → iCloud → Manage Storage. To have us delete a message you sent through the contact form, email us at the address below.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold. Because we hold only what you send us through the contact form, email us and we will help.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date above. Material changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
