Care plans and AI companies

On a pet’s Care plan page there is a button, “Tailor this plan to [pet’s name]”. Only when you press it, we send a short description of that pet to an AI company, so that it can suggest a few extra care lines. The description has only: the kind of pet (dog or cat), the name of the breed, the pet’s age in months and life stage (for example “puppy”), the pet’s size, and whether your profile says the pet is vaccinated and microchipped. It is written as “Pet 1”.

We never send the pet’s name, your name, your phone number, your e-mail address or your address, the pet’s photo, or any notes or numbers you typed (such as vaccination notes or a chip number).

The AI companies we use may process this description on computers outside India. We choose which companies to use and may change them, and each is asked only for care suggestions.

If you never press the button, nothing is sent, and you still get the standard checklist, which is written by us and works without any AI. The lines an AI writes are checked by our own safety rules before you see them and are kept with that pet’s care plan so you can see them again. We also keep a count of how many suggestions were asked for and what they cost, but never what was asked, what was answered, which pet or which person.

Care plans are general guidance, not a vet’s advice.
