Pet Episode Record Privacy Policy

1. Scope and purpose

Pet Episode Record is a local-first iOS record-keeping tool for dog and cat owners. It helps you save an Episode start time, record facts you directly saw or heard, keep visible phase end and return to usual baseline as separate moments, and prepare a neutral timeline or report for a veterinarian.

2. Data stored on your device

The app may store Episode records such as start and end times, durations, status, observed fact selections, source labels, retrospective edits, optional pet profile details, user-entered vet plan text, notes, report selections, and local report history. If you choose video, the app may store the resulting video and an asynchronously generated thumbnail. These records are stored in the app's local SwiftData and file storage areas.

3. Camera and microphone

Camera and microphone are optional. The app requests access only when you choose to record an Episode video. Microphone access is used only when you choose to include audio. Refusing, interrupting, or failing to save media does not end the Episode timer or remove already saved observation facts. The app does not continuously listen, record in the background, analyze audio, or analyze video.

4. Face ID and Apple services

If you enable the local privacy lock, Face ID is used by Apple's LocalAuthentication framework to unlock local records. The app uses SwiftUI, SwiftData, AVFoundation, Foundation file storage, and LocalAuthentication. It does not use iCloud or CloudKit synchronization in the current release. Apple controls the system permission prompts and the availability of these platform services.

5. What is not collected or shared

The current release does not require an account and does not send Episode records, pet names, notes, phone numbers, vet details, reports, video, thumbnails, or observation content to Qiquverse or a third-party server. It does not use third-party analytics, advertising, cross-app tracking, data brokers, external AI, or remote video/audio processing. The privacy manifest declares no collected data, no tracking, and no accessed API types.

6. Export, sharing, retention, and deletion

You may use the app's export actions to prepare local record files, media, and saved reports for sharing. After you share or save an export, the receiving app, service, or person controls that copy. In Settings, you can delete one Episode or all local records. The app's deletion flow removes related observations, pet links, vet plan links, video, thumbnails, temporary report files, and local indexes according to the record relationship. Normal iOS backups, device migration, or copies you deliberately export may retain a separate copy outside the app.

7. Sensitive and health-adjacent context

Pet observation records can be sensitive and may be used in a health-adjacent conversation with a veterinarian. Pet Episode Record does not diagnose, classify, score severity, predict, infer causes, assess medication effects, or provide treatment, dosage, first-aid, emergency-threshold, or wait advice. A record is not a substitute for professional judgment or emergency services.

8. Children and family use

The current product is not directed to children and does not provide child accounts, family cloud collaboration, public profiles, chat, or social sharing. Adults remain responsible for deciding what to record and share.

9. Security limits and changes

Local storage reduces network exposure but cannot guarantee absolute security against a compromised device, unauthorized device access, ordinary iOS backups, or copies you choose to share. We may update this policy when the product's data handling, permissions, platform dependencies, or legal obligations change. The effective date appears at the top of this page.

10. Contact

For privacy questions or deletion help, contact [email protected]. Please do not email private video, pet names, phone numbers, or medical details unless they are necessary for your request.

1. 适用范围与用途

宠物发作记录 PetEpisode 是面向猫狗主人的本地优先 iOS 记录工具。它帮助你保存事件起始时间，记录你直接看到或听到的事实，把可见阶段结束与恢复到平常状态分别留下，再整理成中性时间线或给兽医查看的报告。

2. 保存在设备上的资料

App 可能在本机保存事件起始和结束时间、时长、状态、观察事实、来源标签、事后修改、可选宠物资料、用户录入的兽医应急卡文字、备注、报告选择和报告历史。若你选择录像，App 可能保存生成的视频和异步生成的缩略图。这些内容保存在 App 的本地 SwiftData 和文件存储区域。

3. 相机与麦克风

相机和麦克风均为可选权限。只有你选择录制事件视频时，App 才会请求相机；只有你选择在视频中加入声音时，App 才会使用麦克风。拒绝、中断或保存媒体失败不会结束事件计时，也不会删除已保存的观察事实。App 不会持续监听、后台录制、分析声音或分析视频。

4. 面容与 Apple 服务

如果你开启本机隐私锁，面容识别由 Apple 的 LocalAuthentication 框架用于解锁本地记录。App 使用 SwiftUI、SwiftData、AVFoundation、Foundation 文件存储和 LocalAuthentication。当前版本不使用 iCloud 或 CloudKit 同步。系统权限提示和这些平台服务的可用性由 Apple 控制。

5. 不收集或分享的内容

当前版本不要求账号，也不会把事件记录、宠物名、备注、电话、兽医资料、报告、视频、缩略图或观察内容发送给 Qiquverse 或第三方服务器。当前版本不使用第三方分析、广告、跨 App 追踪、数据经纪服务、外部 AI 或远程视频/声音处理。隐私清单声明不收集数据、不追踪，也没有声明访问的 API 类型。

6. 导出、分享、保留与删除

你可以使用 App 的导出功能准备本地记录、媒体和已保存报告以便分享。导出或分享后，接收它的 App、服务或人员会控制那份副本。在设置中，你可以删除单条事件或全部本地记录；删除流程会按记录关系清理观察、宠物关联、兽医卡关联、视频、缩略图、临时报告文件和本地索引。普通 iOS 备份、设备迁移或你主动导出的副本，可能在 App 外继续保留。

7. 敏感与健康相关边界

宠物观察记录可能敏感，也可能被带到与兽医沟通的健康相关场景中。PetEpisode 不诊断、不分类、不评分严重程度、不预测、不推断诱因、不评估用药效果，也不提供治疗、剂量、急救、通用就医阈值或等待建议。记录不能替代专业判断或紧急服务。

8. 儿童与家庭使用

当前产品不是面向儿童设计的产品，不提供儿童账号、家庭云协作、公开档案、聊天或社交分享。成年人应自行决定记录和分享哪些内容。

9. 安全限制与政策变化

本地存储可以减少网络暴露，但无法保证设备被入侵、设备被他人使用、普通 iOS 备份或你主动分享的副本绝对安全。如果产品的数据处理、权限、平台依赖或法律义务发生变化，我们可能更新本政策，生效日期会显示在页面顶部。

10. 联系方式

如有隐私问题或删除请求，请发送邮件至 [email protected]。除非确有必要，请不要在邮件中发送私人视频、宠物名、电话号码或医疗细节。
