How we use data — in plain language

Location
Read only while the app is open, to centre the map, sort by distance and place a pin. There is no background tracking. The "City / Area" point you choose is stored and is the centre for nearby alerts.
Account profile
Name, email, and avatar are used for identity, personalization, and messaging.
Posts & interactions
Content you post (including pet photos), comments, reactions, and bookmarks are used to provide the core community features.
Messaging
Direct messages and photos are sent over an encrypted connection and stored encrypted on our servers, with a key kept separately from the data. Safe Paws does not read them, and your conversations follow your account to any device you sign in to.
Notifications
Device tokens are used to send alerts via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
Diagnostics & analytics
The app sends usage and crash data to our own servers, never to a third-party analytics service. You can switch it off in Settings.
Sharing
We do not sell your data. It is shared only with the service providers named in the Privacy Policy.
Retention & deletion
You can request deletion from the app (Settings → Support → Contact Us) or via our support form. We confirm the request and delete the account within 30 days.
