This Privacy Policy explains how PeThoria ("PeThoria", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use our website (pethoriaworld.com), our mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, username, password (stored securely as a hash), and phone number. If you sign up or log in using Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile image from Google as part of the authentication process.
We collect information you choose to provide, such as pet profiles (name, breed, age, health and care details), posts, photos, videos, comments, messages, reviews, and other content you upload or share through the feed, marketplace, messaging, and matchmaking features.
With your permission, we collect approximate or precise location data to power features such as Pet Services Near Me, Dog Park Communities, and local pet matching. You can disable location access at any time through your device settings; some location-based features may not work without it.
If you make a purchase, list an item in the marketplace, or subscribe to a premium feature, payments are processed by Square. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers — Square handles payment processing and is subject to its own privacy policy.
We automatically collect information such as device type, operating system, app version, IP address, general usage activity (pages viewed, features used), and crash/diagnostic data. This helps us maintain, secure, and improve the Services.
On our website and apps, we may display ads through Google Ad Manager and other ad networks. These partners may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies to serve relevant ads. Where required by law, we request your consent before showing personalized ads (see "Cookies & Consent" below).
We use the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, measure site usage, and support advertising. Where required by law, we display a consent banner so you can choose whether to allow non-essential cookies, including those used for personalized advertising.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time by contacting us at pethoria7@gmail.com. Some information may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g. fraud prevention, financial records).
PeThoria is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can update most account and profile information directly in the app, manage notification and location permissions through your device settings, and contact us to exercise additional rights.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and hashed passwords, to help protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
