Privacy policy
The short version: Doggydoro doesn’t collect any personal information. There’s no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and the app has no server of ours to send anything to. What you do in the app stays on your iPhone. This website counts visits, without cookies and without knowing who you are, and keeps an email address only if you join the Android waitlist.
This policy covers the Doggydoro app for iPhone and this website, doggydoro.app. Doggydoro is made by Memenmo Studios in Australia (“we”, “us”). If anything here is unclear, write to hello@doggydoro.app.
What stays on your phone
Your focus sessions, tasks, Logs, streak, dogs and their names, room, Finds, bones and settings are stored in the app’s own storage on your iPhone. We never receive them. Deleting the app deletes them.
iCloud
Doggydoro doesn’t sync your data through iCloud yet. Your iPhone’s own backups (to iCloud or a computer) include the app’s data the way they include any app’s, under your control and Apple’s policies. If a future version adds sync, it will use your own private iCloud account, and this policy will say so before it ships.
App blocking and Screen Time
Blocking uses Apple’s Screen Time (the Family Controls and Managed Settings frameworks) on your own iPhone, for focus sessions you start yourself. It isn’t a parental-control feature and involves no one else’s device.
- When you choose apps, you do it in Apple’s own picker. Doggydoro receives only sealed tokens that stand for those apps. It can’t read their names or identifiers, and doesn’t try to.
- Strict and Allowlist shield whole categories of apps and websites. No app is blocked by name: Safari stays where it is, and the websites in it are shielded by their category.
- Those tokens, and your Bedtime schedule, stay on your iPhone in the app’s own storage. Some of it is shared with Doggydoro’s own Screen Time extension, the small part of the app that lifts shields on time, even if the app has been closed.
- Shields are applied and removed on your iPhone. Nothing about what you block is ever sent anywhere.
Notifications and the Lock Screen
Daily nudges and “session ended” notifications are scheduled locally on your iPhone. There’s no notification server, and you can turn them off at any time in the app or in your iPhone’s Settings. The countdown on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island is a Live Activity, drawn by iOS on your iPhone; it shows whether you’re focusing or on a break, your dog’s name and the time left, and nothing else.
Siri and Shortcuts
You can ask Siri to start a session or a break, or how long you’ve focused today. Doggydoro answers on your iPhone from its own storage. What you say to Siri is handled by Apple, under Apple’s privacy policy.
Wallpapers
When you save the room as a wallpaper, the picture is made on your iPhone and saved to Photos or shared only where you choose, with your permission. Nothing is uploaded.
Purchases
Doggydoro Pro is sold through the App Store. Apple processes the payment; we never receive your name, payment details or Apple Account information. The app checks what you’ve bought with Apple’s StoreKit, on your iPhone. Apple’s privacy policy covers the App Store.
Crash reports
If you’ve chosen to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone’s settings, Apple may give us crash reports and aggregate figures about the app. They don’t identify you, and we use them only to fix problems. You can change this in Settings, under Privacy & Security, then Analytics & Improvements.
When you write to us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply, keep it only as long as the conversation needs, and delete it sooner if you ask.
This website
doggydoro.app uses no cookies, no advertising and no third-party scripts; its fonts, images and sounds are served from the site itself.
To see which pages people find useful, the site counts visits withPlausible Analytics, which we run on our own server. A visit records the page, the site that linked you here, your country, and your browser, operating system and type of device. It also counts a few taps: the App Store and Google Play badges (and which one), joining the Android waitlist, starting and finishing the timer, playing the Sound Mix or tapping one of Pro’s sounds, petting Patches, and landing on a page that doesn’t exist. Never anything you type. Plausible doesn’t use cookies and doesn’t store your IP address: it tells one visitor from another for a single day by a scrambled code that changes every day, so it can’t follow you from day to day or from site to site. The counts stay with us and are never shared or sold.
If you play with the Sound Mix, your browser remembers the mix and whether you hushed it, in its own storage on your device; the timer remembers the length you chose and whether the chime is on, the same way. The site never sends any of it anywhere. It’s hosted by Vercel, which processes standard request information such as IP addresses and browser details to deliver and protect the site, under Vercel’s privacy policy.
The Android waitlist
Doggydoro isn’t on Android. The Google Play badge on this site opens a waitlist instead, so we can see whether enough people want it. If you join, we keep your email address, which badge you tapped and when, in private storage at Vercel, our host. We use it for one thing: a single email if Doggydoro comes to Google Play. We send nothing else, never share or sell it, and delete the whole list after that email, or if we decide against Android. To take your address off sooner, write to hello@doggydoro.app.
Keeping and deleting data
We don’t hold your app data, so there’s nothing on our side to keep or delete. To remove everything, delete the app; older copies in your iPhone’s backups go when those backups do. Emails you’ve sent us, and your place on the Android waitlist, are deleted on request.
Children
Doggydoro is suitable for all ages. Because the app collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act, the GDPR and similar laws, you can ask what personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. In practice that’s only ever emails you’ve sent us and, if you joined it, your address on the Android waitlist. Write to hello@doggydoro.app and we’ll answer within 30 days.
Changes
If this policy changes, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top. If a change affects what the app does with information, we’ll say so in the app’s update notes too.
