Privacy policy

Aim is a training tracker for dog handlers and trainers, made by K9 Club. This page says what we collect, why, who can see it, and how you can delete it. We have written it in plain language on purpose.

The short version

• Your dogs and training are saved on your phone first, and backed up to your account when you are signed in.
• We do not sell your data, and there is no advertising and no analytics or tracking in Aim.
• A trainer sees your training only if you connect to them, and only for the dogs you choose.
• You can export everything, and delete your account and all its data, from inside the app.

What we collect

• Your account: your email address and password (the password is stored scrambled by our sign-in provider; we cannot read it). If you use the social features: a display name, a handle and, if you add one, a profile picture.
• Your dogs: name, breed, birth date, sex, weight, microchip number, vet, measurements and a photo if you add one.
• Your training: tracker ratings and notes, training session logs (including the summary and the exercises worked), conditioning, weigh-ins, feeding, health records, health test files you attach (such as hip and elbow scores, DNA reports and X-rays), and game results.
• Your voice, if you use it: when you speak a log, your phone turns it into text using its own speech recognition. Depending on your phone the audio is handled by Apple (iPhone) or Google (Android) under their own policies. We never receive or keep the audio. The text is saved in your log.
• On your device: a local copy of your data and your settings (such as language).
• Technical data: your IP address is used briefly to limit abuse of the AI features. We do not build a profile of you from it.

We do not collect your location, contacts or advertising identifiers.

How we use it

• To run Aim: show your tracker, logs and reports, and keep them backed up and in step across your devices.
• To turn what you say or type into a structured log, and to write coaching, we send the text of your log, plus short summaries of your progress, to an AI service (Anthropic). We do not send your email, password, photos or health files to it. Under Anthropic's business terms, data sent this way is not used to train its models.
• To let a trainer you connect to see your progress (below).
• To look after the service: fixing faults and preventing misuse.

Trainers and friends

If you connect to a trainer with their invite code, they can see your training logs and progress reports for the dogs you choose to share, read from your saved account. They can never see voice transcripts, weight, health records or health files, photos or notes. You can stop sharing a dog, or disconnect, at any time, and their access ends at once. If you use the social features, other people see only what you post or share.

Who handles your data for us

We use a small number of providers, each only to provide the service:

• Supabase for sign-in, the database and private file storage.
• Vercel to host the app.
• Anthropic for the AI features, as described above.
• Apple and Google for speech recognition if you use the microphone, and for subscription billing in the app stores. Payments are handled by them or by our payment provider; we never see your card number.

We do not sell personal data, and we share it only with these providers, with people you choose to share with, or if the law requires.

How long we keep it, and deleting it

We keep your data while your account exists. In the app, go to Account → Delete my account to permanently delete your account and everything saved in it, including your dogs, logs, health records and files, and your profile. It also clears the copy on that phone. Copies held in our providers' backups are removed on their normal schedules. You can also use Account → Export to download everything first.

Your rights

You can see, correct, export and delete your data in the app. If you live somewhere with data protection law (such as the UK or EU), you also have the right to ask us for a copy, to object to or restrict how we use it, and to complain to your data protection authority. Write to jason@runcreative.tv and we will help.

Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections. Each account can only reach its own data: the database enforces that itself, not just the app. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.

Children

Aim is not meant for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will say so in the app. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
