Paw Vital Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 2025 September 8

Effective Date: 2025 September 8

1. Introduction

Welcome to the mobile application “Paw Vital” (hereinafter referred to as the “App”), developed and provided by Paw Vital (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”), available for download from the Google Play.

This Privacy Policy (hereinafter referred to as the “Policy”) describes how we collect, process, store, and disclose personal information and non-personal information. Before using the App, you should carefully read and fully understand all the terms of this Privacy Policy. By clicking “Agree” or continuing to use the App, you acknowledge that you have fully understood and consented to our processing of your information in accordance with this Policy. If you disagree with any of the terms of this Policy, please immediately cease downloading, installing, and using the App.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

Based on the core feature of this app, which is “local functionality only”, we collect information based on the “minimum necessary” principle. All collected information is only stored on your local device, as follows:We may collect the following categories of personal information directly from your use of the Application:

  • Account-related information: If you choose to create a local account for this app (to manage your personal usage history), you will need to provide your email address, custom username, and password. The password will be encrypted using a hash value and stored on your local device. We will not be able to obtain or view your original password. If you do not need an account, you can directly use the basic local functions of this app without providing the above information.

Local usage data (active entry): When you use the core local functions of this application (such as pet health records), you need to actively enter relevant data (such as pet breed, age, gender, health indicators, etc.). Such data is only used to support the normal operation of the local functions of this application and is completely stored locally on your device. We will not obtain it in any form.

2.2 Non-Personal Information

Non-personal information refers to anonymous data that cannot, alone or in combination with other information, identify a specific individual. We collect and analyze the following non-personal information locally on your device to optimize the local functional experience of this app. No data is uploaded or shared:

● Local usage behavior data: This app’s usage behavior data is collected locally on your device, including function usage frequency (e.g., number of clicks on a certain pet record function), local session duration (the duration of a single app session), and function error logs (if a local app failure occurs, the error code and triggering scenario are recorded). This data is only used to optimize the local functional experience on your device (e.g., adjusting the location of frequently used function access points). It is not uploaded to any server and is not used to personally identify you.

● Use of local technical tools: This app only uses lightweight technical tools (e.g., local cookie simulation) locally on your device to record your local usage preferences (e.g., the default pet information page displayed and frequently used function settings). The data generated by these tools is stored entirely locally on your device and can be deleted by clearing the app’s local data. No external data interaction is involved.

3. How We Use Your Information

We process your information for the following purposes:

  • Service Delivery: To provide, maintain, and improve the App’s functionality and user experience.
  • Technical Operations: To diagnose and resolve technical issues, optimize performance, and prevent fraud or abuse.
  • Legal Compliance: To fulfill statutory obligations, respond to lawful requests (e.g., court orders), and enforce our Terms of Service.

4. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data only where we have a valid legal basis, including:

  • Contractual Necessity: To perform a contract with you (e.g., providing requested services).
  • Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable laws (e.g., tax reporting, anti-fraud regulations).
  • Consent: Where you explicitly agree (e.g., opting into marketing communications).
  • Legitimate Interests: For purposes such as fraud prevention, cybersecurity, and improving App functionality.

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests by contacting us at [support@kpartylive.com].

5. Data Sharing & Disclosure
