PawBreeze · Privacy Policy

Your cat's data stays with
you and your iCloud.

PawBreeze keeps your cat's asthma records on your device and your own private iCloud. The Night Listener runs entirely on-device and never records audio, and the only time anything is sent to us is when you choose to generate an AI brief. Here is exactly how it works.

Last updated: June 2026 · Effective immediately

The short version
Stored on device + your private iCloud. Breathing readings, attacks, inhaler sessions and inventory sync through Apple CloudKit in your own iCloud account. We run no server that stores them.
Microphone audio never leaves your phone. The Night Listener classifies sounds on-device and saves only a timestamp and confidence for cough-like events - no audio is ever recorded, saved or uploaded.
Attack videos stay on your phone. Videos you record are stored on-device only and are never uploaded, not even to iCloud.
The AI brief is the one exception. A summary is sent over TLS to our API and our AI provider (Anthropic), then discarded. No ads, no analytics, no continuous location.
1. Who we are

PawBreeze ("the App") is published by Velora Health ("we", "us", "our"). For any privacy question or request, contact customer-care@velorahealth.io.

PawBreeze is a pet-care tracking tool. It is not a veterinary device and does not provide veterinary advice. Breathing zones and action steps are frameworks you fill in with your vet; always follow your veterinarian.

2. The data in PawBreeze

You can log information about your cat's asthma:

About you, we use only: an anonymous Apple identifier from Sign in with Apple (used solely for the AI brief quota) and your subscription status from Apple. We do not collect your email, contacts, precise location, usage analytics or advertising identifiers.

3. Where the data is stored

Your logs are stored on your device using Apple's SwiftData and synced through your own private iCloud (Apple CloudKit). This data resides in your personal Apple account; Velora Health cannot access it and operates no backend database that stores it. You can export your data as CSV at any time, for free.

4. Microphone & the Night Listener

The optional Night Listener uses the microphone only on your device to classify sounds while your cat sleeps. It never records, saves or uploads any audio - it stores only a timestamp and a confidence score for cough-like sound events, and always describes them as "cough-like sound events," not asthma attacks. You can turn it off at any time, and it requests microphone permission before it runs.

5. Camera & attack videos

If you record a video of an attack, the video is stored only on your device and is never uploaded to us or any third party.

6. Environment & weather

To add environment context, PawBreeze uses a city you enter yourself, geocoded once and stored on your device, to fetch weather. It does not track your precise or continuous location.

7. The AI brief

When you choose to generate a brief for your vet, the App sends a summary of your logs (breathing zones, attack frequency, inhaler adherence and trends) over an encrypted TLS connection to our PawBreeze API (Google Cloud Run).

Our API is stateless: it forwards the summary to Anthropic (Claude), which writes the brief and returns it to your device. The data and the brief are not stored on our servers; the only record kept is a monthly usage count. Anthropic processes the request solely to generate the brief and, per its API terms, does not use API data to train its models. Every brief carries the note: "AI-generated summary of your own logged data - not veterinary advice."

8. Subscriptions & payments

PawBreeze Pro is an auto-renewable subscription sold through Apple's App Store. Apple handles all payment processing; we never receive or store your payment details.

9. Third-party services

We share data only with the providers needed to deliver these features:

PawBreeze contains no third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs, and does not collect precise location.

10. Data retention, deletion & your rights

The records live in your own device and iCloud, so you control them: delete entries in the App, export everything as CSV, or remove the App and its iCloud data to erase everything. You can also delete your account in the App, which removes the only record we hold - your monthly usage counter. Depending on where you live (e.g. GDPR, CCPA) you may have rights to access or delete personal data; contact us and we will help.

11. Children's privacy

PawBreeze is intended for adult pet owners and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

12. Changes to this policy

If we make material changes we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the App.
