Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Dogs Afield ("we", "us") helps dog owners connect at local parks and events. This policy explains what data we collect, why we need it, and your rights.
What We Collect
Account data: Your name, profile photo, and email (from Google or Apple sign-in).
Dog information: Names and breeds of your dogs.
Location: Your device's GPS coordinates when you use the app. This is needed to show nearby events and parks.
Content you create: Events you host, RSVPs, messages to other users, and icebreaker stories on your profile.
App usage: We track whether you've completed onboarding and seen introductory screens.
Why We Collect It
| Data | Reason |
|---|---|
| Account data | To create your profile and let others identify you |
| Dog information | To show your dogs to other users |
| Location | To display nearby events and parks on the map |
| Content you create | To run events, enable messaging, and verify attendance |

We process location data based on your consent — you can revoke this anytime in your device settings.
All other data is collected to provide the service you signed up for (contract).
Who We Share It With
Other users: Your name, profile photo, dogs, and icebreaker stories are visible to users at events you attend or host. Your email is never shown to others.
