Your household's data stays your household's.

What we store

When you create an account, DogWhiz stores the information you enter to run training for your household:

• Your account and contact email, managed by our sign-in provider.
• Your household, its members, and their roles.
• Dog profiles, including any photo you upload.
• Behavior plans, cues, training sessions, individual attempts, walks, notes, and progress milestones.
• Reminder preferences and a log of reminder deliveries (timing and status, not message content).
• Household invites. Invite codes are stored hashed in our audit records, never in plain text.

Who can see it

Your training data is visible only to members of your household. Owners and admins manage the household and its invites. Handlers can record sessions and walks. Viewers can read household activity but cannot change it. Every request is checked on the server against your household membership, and data from one household cannot be read or written from another.

Photos and media are private

Dog photos and training media are private by default. They are served only to signed-in household members through short-lived links that expire, never through public URLs.

Analytics

DogWhiz tracks product events such as activation, behavior enrollment, weekly active sessions, reminder opt-in, stage progression, maintenance completion, and session completion. Analytics payloads exclude training notes, emails, dog health details, media URLs, invite codes, and provider secrets.

These events help us learn whether DogWhiz is useful. They pass through our own server first, which strips anything not on an approved list before it reaches an analytics provider.

We do not sell your data

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers. We use service providers only to run DogWhiz: sign-in, hosting, database, file storage, reminders, and analytics. They process data on our behalf and only for that purpose.

Deleting your account

You can ask us to delete your account and the household data you own at any time. A contact address for deletion requests will be published here before public launch. Until then, reach out through the channel you used to join the beta.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will update this page and the date above. See also our beta terms.
