Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

henlo! ("we", "our", "us") operates the henlo! mobile application. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information We Collect

Account Information. When you create an account, we collect your name and email address through our authentication provider (Clerk).

Pet Profiles. You provide your pet's name, breed, color, medical notes, and photos. This information is displayed when someone scans your pet's tag.

Emergency Contacts. You provide names and phone numbers for emergency contacts. These are shown to anyone who scans your pet's tag so they can reach you.

Pet Photos. Photos you upload are stored securely on Cloudflare R2 cloud storage and are associated with your pet's profile.

Tag & Scan Data. We record when and where your pet's NFC or QR tag is scanned, including the scanner's approximate location (if they consent), timestamp, and general device information. This helps you locate a lost pet.

Device Tokens. With your permission, we collect push notification tokens to send you alerts when your pet's tag is scanned.

Information We Do Not Collect

How We Use Your Information

Camera & Photo Library

We request camera and photo library access solely to let you take or choose a photo for your pet's profile. Photos are uploaded to our servers and are not used for any other purpose.

NFC

We use NFC to program your pet's tag with a unique identifier. NFC is only activated when you explicitly choose to program a tag.
