PetMira Privacy Policy

Updated on: October 21, 2026

Effective on: October 21, 2026

Welcome to use PetMira (hereinafter referred to as "the Application"). This Agreement is concluded between you (hereinafter referred to as "User" or "you") and the operator (hereinafter referred to as "we"). We value your privacy and personal‑information security. Please read this Policy carefully before using the Application to understand how we collect, use, store, share and protect your information, as well as the rights you may exercise and relevant operation methods. Together with the Terms of Service, this Policy constitutes the complete agreement between you and us. We will update this Policy when necessary and publish announcements within the Application.

I. Scope of Application

This Policy applies to all activities of collecting or processing personal information through the Application, covering personal‑data‑processing links for all functions on mobile terminals. It also includes all operations related to personal‑information collection, processing, storage and sharing for all AI functions of the Application (pet vocalization translation, emotion analysis, AI pet‑expert dialogue, pet image analysis) and the PetDance Creative Template function (template creation and upload, public template display, AI generation of pet videos and images, work‑library management). In case of inconsistencies where this Policy overlaps with the Terms of Service, the descriptions of relevant detailed items in this Policy shall prevail.

II. How We Collect Personal Information

In accordance with applicable laws, regulations and national standards, we process your personal information only under the following circumstances:

1. Obtaining your explicit consent (e.g. granting permissions for camera, microphone and photo album);
2. Being necessary for performing the service contract with you (realizing local functions of the Application);
3. Being necessary for maintaining the safe and stable operation of the services provided;
4. Other circumstances stipulated by laws and regulations.

Except for the above‑mentioned statutory circumstances, we will not process your personal information in any other ways.

III. Types of Data We May Collect

Following the principle of minimization‑necessity, the Application generates / processes the following data locally on your device only after you actively use functions and grant permissions. Such data will not leave your device:

1. Data related to device permissions Microphone audio data: audio recorded when using pet vocalization translation / emotion analysis; Speech‑recognition data: used for voice dialogue and pet vocalization recognition and analysis; Camera image data: images captured of pets; Album image data: photos selected from the photo album.
2. Data generated by local functions Pet‑profile information: manually‑entered information such as pet name, breed, age and avatar; AI‑function result data: translation results, emotion‑analysis outputs, image‑analysis reports and AI‑dialogue records.
3. Basic Application‑operation data Application crash logs and operating‑status data (used only for local‑function troubleshooting, and will not be uploaded).
4. Subscription‑related information When you order paid subscription services of the Application through the AppStore channel, we only obtain Apple‑authorized information including subscription status, unique order identifier and subscription validity period. Such information is used to verify your subscription entitlement and provide corresponding value‑added services for you.

We do not collect any payment‑sensitive information such as your Apple ID payment password, bank‑card number or transaction amount. Subscription‑payment‑related data is independently managed by Apple App Store, and payment security is the responsibility of Apple Inc. and yourself.

1. Data related to the PetDance Creative Template function (1) Template materials you actively upload to the public template library (including video footage, music, sound effects, images, animations, texts, etc.), as well as creator nicknames / identifiers you set; (2) Pet photos you upload and pet‑video files generated when you use templates to generate videos and images; (3) Generated works and creation drafts saved by you to the work library. Among the above‑mentioned data, only templates you actively upload to the public template library and content actively saved to the cloud work library will be stored on cloud servers; other template‑function‑related data are stored locally on your device by default.

IV. Data Purposes

We use data in accordance with the principles of necessity, minimization and transparency, solely to realize corresponding local functions of the Application, and will not use them for any other purposes:

1. Pet vocalization translation, call‑type and emotion analysis: perform local AI computation using microphone audio data, generate results and store them locally;
2. Pet‑profile management: store pet information and support multi‑pet switching, editing and viewing;
3. AI pet‑image analysis: perform local AI analysis using camera / album images and generate pet‑raising reference suggestions;
4. AI pet‑expert dialogue: store dialogue content to ensure contextual coherence and display local historical records;
5. Application‑function optimization: use local crash logs to fix faults and improve operating stability.
6. PetDance Creative Template Services: store and publicly display user‑uploaded template materials, perform computation and processing for video and image generation for template users, provide work‑library storage and management services, and guarantee normal operation and optimization of template functions.

We will not collect or use permission‑sensitive data for purposes irrelevant to the Application’s core functions, nor will we require you to use services on the precondition of forcing permission‑enablement.

V. Permission Description and Minimization‑Necessity Principle

1. Minimization‑Necessity Principle: collect only data indispensable for realizing Application functions; do not collect extra sensitive data for secondary functions or commercial purposes. Non‑essential permissions are optional and you may disable them in device settings at any time.
2. Rules for using sensitive permissions: All sensitive device permissions related to AI functions (camera, photo album, microphone) will not be enabled by default. They can only be used upon your explicit authorization when you use specific functions.
3. Specific permission descriptions Microphone permission: used only for recording pet vocalizations. Disabling it renders vocalization‑translation unavailable without affecting other functions; Speech‑recognition permission: used only for voice input to converse with AI agents and for pet‑vocalization recognition and analysis. Disabling it renders corresponding functions unavailable without affecting other functions.

Camera permission: used only for capturing pet images. If denied, you may still select images from the photo album; Photo‑album permission: used only for reading selected pet photos. If denied, you may still use the capture function.

VI. User Consent and Consent‑Withdrawal

1. Explicit Consent: Before collecting or accessing sensitive information (audio, images, photos), we will solicit your explicit consent via independent pop‑up windows.
2. Consent‑Withdrawal: You may withdraw authorizations for camera, microphone and photo‑album permissions in system settings at any time. After withdrawal, relevant optional functions will cease to work, while the legality of locally‑processed data previously handled under valid consent remains unaffected.

VII. Data Storage and Deletion

1. Local‑First: All data are stored locally on your device by default; there is no cloud storage and no server backup.
2. Data‑retention Period: Determined by you. You may delete the Application or local data at any time; deleted data cannot be recovered.
3. Data Deletion: You may manually delete pet profiles, translation records, dialogue records, photos and analysis reports. After uninstalling the Application, local data will be handled in accordance with system rules; we retain no data whatsoever.

VIII. Data‑Processing Rules

1. The data‑processing location of the Application is the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China.
