LeashTracker ("we", "us") is a household dog-walking tracker app. This
policy explains what data we collect, why, and how you can control it.
Data we collect
Account information — name and email address, used to create and secure your account.
App activity — the walks, dogs, and household data you and your household members log. This is the core function of the app.
Usage — the days on which you use the app, and anonymous daily counts of logins and sign-ups. We use this to count active users and to clean up inactive accounts; it is deleted together with your account.
Location (Plus only) — if you use the GPS-tracked walk distance feature, we collect your device's foreground location for the duration of that tracked walk, in order to calculate distance. This only happens while you have actively started a tracked walk and never in the background; the regular one-tap walk log never collects location.
Purchase history — if you subscribe to LeashTracker Plus, our payment provider (Google Play Billing) and subscription management provider (RevenueCat) process and share purchase/subscription status with us so we can unlock Plus features.
Advertising identifier — on the Free tier, we show ads via Google AdMob, which collects your device's advertising identifier to serve and measure ads.
We do not collect your photos, contacts, or any health/fitness data about you personally.
Third parties we share data with
Google AdMob — serves ads to Free tier users (receives advertising identifier).
RevenueCat and Google Play Billing — manage and process Plus subscriptions (receive purchase data).
Resend — sends our emails (welcome, password reset, account notices); receives your name and email address.
Expo — delivers push notifications to your phone; receives your device's push token and the notification text.
We do not sell your data to anyone.
Advertising and consent
On the Free tier, ads are served by Google AdMob. Where required (for
example in the EEA/UK), we show a consent form before any personalized
ads are shown, using Google's User Messaging Platform - you can choose
there whether to allow personalized ads. You can change this choice later
from your device's own ad settings (Android: Settings > Privacy >
Ads), which lets you reset your advertising identifier or opt out of
personalized advertising entirely. Upgrading to Plus removes ads - and
this data collection - entirely.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your account and app data for as long as your account exists
and your household is in use.
Inactive free households — if nobody in a Free household has used the app for 12 months, we email every member a warning. If nobody opens the app in the 2 months after that warning (we send reminders after 1 month and 1 week before the date), the household is deleted, with its members' accounts, dogs, photos, schedules and walks. Simply opening the app while logged in keeps your account. Plus and lifetime households are not deleted for inactivity.
Deleting your account yourself — you can delete your account at any time in the app (gear icon → Account → Delete account), or as described on our account deletion page.
Deletion by us — we may delete an account or household on your request, or when it breaks our terms. We let the affected members know by email.
Backups — deleted data can remain in our database backups for up to 30 days, until those backups are removed.
Deletion records — we keep a short record that a deletion took place (date, reason and how many items were removed), without your name or email address.
To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data, email
leashtracker@dyniq.nl. We respond to these
requests within one month.
Security
All data is transmitted over encrypted (HTTPS) connections.
Children
LeashTracker is not directed at children and is not intended for use by
anyone under 16.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be
