Pet Cost Helper helps you keep track of what your pets cost. We built it to collect as little about you as possible, and we don't sell your data to anyone. Here's exactly what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
Pet Cost Helper ("we," "us," the "app") is provided by Dogs Trained Right LLC. Questions about your privacy or this policy? Email [email protected].
The account you create. When you sign up, we collect your email address and a password. Passwords are stored only in secure, hashed form — we never see or store your actual password. We don't collect a name, phone number, or any social login. That's the entire account.
What you put in the app. The pet profiles, expenses, amounts, categories, dates, vendors, and notes you enter. This is the heart of the app, and it's yours.
Receipts you scan. When you photograph a receipt, the image is sent to an AI provider that reads it to pull out the total, the line items, and the categories. After a successful read, the receipt image is stored in your own private, per-user folder in our secure cloud storage so you can view it later, and it stays there until you delete the associated expense or your account. If a scan fails to read (a blurry or unreadable photo), no image is stored at all.
Your subscription status. When you start a trial or subscribe, Apple processes the payment and our subscription tool (RevenueCat) tells the app whether your subscription is active. We never see or store your card number — that stays with Apple. RevenueCat receives an anonymized account identifier plus your App Store purchase and renewal information so it can manage your subscription state.
We keep this list short on purpose:
All processing happens in the United States.
We don't run ads. We don't have any analytics or tracking SDKs in the app. We don't sell, rent, or share your personal information with anyone for their own marketing. There are no third-party trackers watching what you do in the app.
Delete everything, anytime. You can delete your account from inside the app. When you do, your expenses, pet profiles, and stored receipt images are permanently removed from our systems.
Depending on where you live (for example, California or the EU/UK), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to ask us not to sell it — which is easy for us, because we don't sell it. To exercise any of these, email us at [email protected].
Pet Cost Helper isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
If we make meaningful changes to this policy, we'll update the date above and provide notice in the app.
