Privacy policy.

What stays on your device

VetMapping keeps the following in the app's private storage on your iPhone, iPad or Android device:

• The sites you add or import: names, owners, phone numbers, serial numbers, areas, coordinates, head counts and the other fields of each kind of site.
• Visit notes and the photos you attach to them. Notes are encrypted on the device, with a key kept in the device's secure keychain.
• The GPS changes log, the import log, the message bank and the numbers read with the camera.
• Your settings, such as language, country, theme and map style.

Deleting the app deletes this data. Export a backup from Settings first if you want to keep it.

When data leaves your device

Only when you choose to: when you export an Excel file or a backup file, share a site or a location, send a WhatsApp message, start navigation, or place a call. The app or service you send it to has its own privacy policy.

Permissions

• Location: to show where you are, place new sites and measure distances. Read only while you use the app, and never sent anywhere.
• Camera: to attach photos to visit notes and to read printed numbers. Text recognition runs on the device.
• Photos: to pick photos for a note or for reading numbers.
• Microphone: only if you record a video while attaching media to a note. VetMapping does not record audio otherwise.

What the app connects to

• Map imagery: map tiles are loaded from OpenStreetMap and Esri (ArcGIS) while you view the map. As with any map, the request says which area is being shown.
• Shared map links: when you share a Google Maps short link into VetMapping, the app follows the link's redirect to find its coordinates.
• The App Store: purchases are made through Apple, which handles the payment. VetMapping only learns whether the app is unlocked.

VetMapping contains no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no third-party tracking.
