Privacy Policy
Your dogs are public. You are not. Here is exactly what that means.
What is public
Your dog's profile — name, handle, breed, age or birthday, gender, size, town or city, bio, likes, photos, posts, Pawpals and follower count.
What is never public
Your contact details: email address, phone number and home address. They are stored on your owner account, are never shown on a profile, a post, a comment or in search, and are never shared with other owners.
Chats are visible only to the participants in them. Access is enforced on the server, not just hidden in the app.
Photos and checks
Uploaded photos are checked for dogs, AI-generated content, editing software metadata and duplicates. A fingerprint of each image is stored so the same photo cannot be reused by another dog. Flagged photos are visible only to you and to moderators until reviewed.
Reports and moderation
Reports are visible only to Dogbook moderators. The dog you reported is not told who reported them.
Your choices
You can edit or remove your dog's profile at any time, and remove your dog's photos by replacing them with a new camera photo. Blocking a dog stops it reaching you.
Children
Dogbook is for owners aged 16 and over. Accounts found to belong to younger users are removed.
