Privacy policy
This policy explains what information Paws Inside collects, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Who we are
Paws Inside helps people discover dog-friendly places where dogs are welcome inside. If you have questions about this policy, you can contact us at hello@pawsinside.com.
Information we collect
We collect information you choose to give us, such as your email address when you sign in, venue suggestions, uploaded photos, pet profile details, and messages you send to us.
We also collect basic usage, device, and diagnostic information so we can keep the service secure, understand what is working, and improve Paws Inside over time.
How we use information
We use your information to provide the service, show and manage venue listings, process photo uploads and venue suggestions, send sign-in links, prevent abuse, troubleshoot issues, and improve the experience.
We may use analytics events to understand how people use Paws Inside, such as which venue cards are opened or whether a venue suggestion was submitted successfully.
Photos and public content
If you upload venue or pet photos, those photos and related venue details may be displayed publicly after moderation. Please only upload photos you have the right to share.
We may remove submitted content if it appears inaccurate, inappropriate, unlawful, or inconsistent with the purpose of Paws Inside.
Service providers
We use trusted providers to run parts of the service, including authentication, database hosting, email delivery, maps and place information, file storage, and analytics.
These providers only receive information needed to perform their services for us, and their handling of information is governed by their own terms and privacy practices.
Your choices
You can choose not to provide optional information, but some features may not work without it. You can also contact us to ask about accessing, correcting, or deleting personal information connected to your account.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect sign-in, security, or saved preferences.
Changes
We may update this policy as Paws Inside changes. When we do, we will update the date on this page.
