Effective date: 26 October 2026

The short version

Desk Pet does not collect, store or share any of your personal data. Everything happens on your device.

Camera

Desk Pet uses the front camera so your pet can see you: following you with its eyes, waving back, playing peekaboo and rock, paper, scissors, and copying your expressions.

• Camera frames are analysed live on your device using Apple's built-in Vision framework, then thrown away.
• Nothing is recorded, saved, uploaded, or sent to us or anyone else.
• You can turn camera access off at any time in Settings → Desk Pet. Your pet still works, it just can't see you.

Motion sensors

Desk Pet reads your phone's motion sensors so your pet can react when the phone is picked up, shaken or tilted. This is processed on your device and never stored or shared.

Notifications

If you add reminders, Desk Pet asks for permission to send notifications. Reminders are scheduled on your device by iOS. No notification content is sent to us.

What's saved on your device

Your pet's name, type, colour and accessories, your reminders, and simple counters such as days visited and your streak.

• This is stored only on your device.
• It may be included in your device's own backups (for example iCloud Backup), which you control.
• Deleting the app deletes all of it.

No tracking, ads or accounts

Desk Pet has no ads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs, no tracking and no sign-in. We don't sell or share data, because we don't collect any.
