Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to PawFive ("we," "our," or "us"), operated by Honeymilk Studio. PawFive is a social app for dog owners to discover dog-friendly places and organize playdates. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our mobile application (the "App"), how we use and share it, and the choices you have.

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Account Information

When you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email address from that provider to create and identify your account. You can also add profile details such as a display name and profile photo.

2.2 Dog Profiles

Information you provide about your dogs, such as their name, breed, birthday, and photos. This information is visible to other users as part of the social features of the App.

2.3 Location Data

We use your location for:

  • Showing nearby dog parks, playdates, and pet-friendly places, and biasing place search toward your area
  • Live location sharing during playdates: if you turn on the live-sharing toggle for a playdate, your real-time position is shared with that playdate's participants — including in the background while you travel to the meeting spot. Live sharing is off by default, visible only to playdate participants, and you can turn it off at any time.

2.4 Social Content and Activity

Content you create in the App, such as playdates you organize or join, friends you connect with, comments, reviews of places, and saved favourite places.

2.5 Photos

Photos you choose to upload (for example, profile or dog photos) from your camera or photo library. We only access photos you explicitly select.

2.6 Device and Notification Data

A push notification token for your device so we can send you notifications (for example, playdate invitations and updates). Some preferences are stored locally on your device.

2.7 Purchase Information

If you purchase a subscription, the purchase is processed by the App Store or Google Play. We receive subscription status (not your payment details) through our subscription-management provider so we can unlock premium features.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide and operate the App's features
  • Display your profile, dogs, and shared content to other users as part of the social experience
  • Show nearby places and enable playdate planning and live location sharing
  • Send push notifications you have opted into
  • Process and manage subscriptions
  • Review reports, moderate the community, and keep the App safe
  • Respond to your support requests

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data for third-party advertising.

4. How Your Information Is Shared

4.1 With Other Users

Your profile, dog profiles, and content you post are visible to other users. Your live location is shared only with participants of a playdate while you have live sharing turned on.

4.2 Service Providers

We rely on the following providers to operate the App:

  • Supabase — authentication, database, and file storage for your account and content
  • Google — Google Sign-In, and Google Maps / Places for maps and place search
  • Apple — Sign in with Apple
  • Firebase Cloud Messaging — delivering push notifications
  • RevenueCat — subscription management

These providers process data only as needed to provide their services to us.

4.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety of our users — including reporting to authorities as described in our Child Safety Standards.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information while your account is active. You can delete your account and associated data at any time — see Delete Account for instructions, or contact us at support@honeymilkstudio.ca. After deletion, we remove your personal information except where limited retention is required by law (for example, records related to safety reports).

6. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and access controls on our systems. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data appropriately. If a data breach occurs that creates a real risk of significant harm to you, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by law.

7. International Data Transfers

Honeymilk Studio is based in Canada, but our service providers (such as Supabase, Google, and RevenueCat) may store and process your information on servers located outside Canada, including in the United States. While your information is in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction. We choose providers that apply appropriate safeguards to personal information.

8. Children's Privacy

PawFive is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it. See also our Child Safety Standards.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information. We honour these requests for all users — email support@honeymilkstudio.ca and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe. Honeymilk Studio is based in Canada and handles personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian privacy law.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and revise the "Last Updated" date above. Significant changes may also be communicated in the App.
