PawPals Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 18, 2026

Scope

This policy applies to PawPals (萌爪成长园), a parent-child task and virtual pet app. It explains how the current iOS version handles child profiles, tasks, pet growth, family connection, evidence thumbnails, optional HealthKit step verification, notifications, and private iCloud synchronization.

Information stored

The app may store a child nickname, birth year and age mode, education-style preference, pet name and species, pet mood and growth values, badges, daily task titles and categories, completion status, self-rating, parent-review status, captions, and a thumbnail selected as task evidence. These records are used to show tasks, update the pet, provide parent review, and display family progress.

Local storage and iCloud

SwiftData stores the records on the device. When the user is signed in to iCloud and the CloudKit container is available, SwiftData may synchronize the family records through the user's private iCloud database. This is not a public social feed. The family invite code is a household confirmation marker and is stored with the child profile. Apple controls iCloud account access and synchronization behavior.

HealthKit

With a parent or guardian's permission, PawPals can read today's step count to complete an eligible physical task. The app does not write HealthKit data and does not persist the raw step count in SwiftData or sync it through CloudKit.

Photos, parent access, and notifications

PhotosPicker may be used intentionally for a task evidence thumbnail and caption; it is not published or used for recognition. The parent area uses a four-digit Keychain PIN. Local notifications are optional and parent-facing only.

Children, third parties, and tracking

The app has no required account, public profile, chat, advertising identifier, behavioral advertising, public leaderboard, purchase flow, or third-party advertising, analytics, tracking, social, or crash-reporting SDK. Apple platform services operate under Apple's own terms and privacy practices.

Retention, export, deletion, and security

Records remain until changed or deleted. Parent Center can export a readable summary and delete the child, pet, tasks, and evidence thumbnails. Private iCloud deletion may take time to reach another device. We use platform protections but cannot guarantee absolute security.

PawPals 萌爪成长园隐私政策

更新日期：2026-08-18

适用范围

本政策适用于 PawPals（萌爪成长园），一款亲子任务与虚拟宠物 App，说明当前版本如何处理孩子档案、任务、宠物成长、家庭连接、凭证缩略图、HealthKit 步数、通知和私有 iCloud 同步。

保存的信息

App 可能保存孩子昵称、出生年份和年龄档、教育理念偏好、宠物资料、成长值、徽章、任务标题和分类、完成状态、自评分、家长确认状态、文字说明和凭证缩略图，用于显示任务、更新宠物、家长确认和家庭进展。

本地存储与 iCloud

SwiftData 将记录保存在设备上。登录 iCloud 且 CloudKit 可用时，记录可能通过用户的 iCloud 私有数据库同步，不会形成公开动态。家庭邀请码是孩子档案中的家庭确认标记。iCloud 行为由 Apple 控制。

HealthKit、照片、家长访问与通知

获得授权后可以读取今日步数完成符合条件的体能任务，不写入或保存原始步数。PhotosPicker 仅在家庭主动选择时保存任务凭证缩略图和说明，不公开。家长端使用四位 Keychain PIN，本地通知仅面向家长且可选。

儿童、第三方与追踪

当前 App 不要求账号、公开主页、聊天、广告标识符、行为广告、公开排行榜或购买流程，也不含第三方广告、分析、追踪、社交或崩溃报告 SDK。Apple 平台服务适用 Apple 自身的条款与隐私实践。

保留、导出、删除与安全

记录会保留到用户修改或删除。家长中心可导出摘要并删除孩子、宠物、任务和凭证缩略图。私有 iCloud 删除同步到另一台设备可能需要时间。我们使用平台保护，但无法保证绝对安全。
