Data handled by the app

• PetVisit: Pet Care Reports is provided by Blacksunset OÜ (registry code 16513658), using the Google Play developer name Blacksunset Studio. This policy covers Android package ee.blacksunset.petvisit and version 1.0.0 in preparation. Privacy and support contact: info@blacksunset.ee.
• You enter owner and pet names, pet type, private care instructions, custom tasks, visit times, task statuses, notes and the sitter name shown on reports. The app stores these records, selected photos and settings locally to prepare reports and show history. It does not upload this content to Blacksunset or an advertising or analytics service.
• The app imports a resized photo copy into its private storage without retaining the source image’s EXIF metadata. The original photo remains in its original location. Reports contain selected visit photos; a backup includes the photos stored with its records.

Permissions

• Android’s system photo picker gives access to the photos you select. PetVisit does not request broad photo-library or storage access, camera, microphone, contacts or location permission. A cloud photo provider you choose may use its own network connection.
• Android’s document picker is used for files you deliberately save or import. When you open or share a report, the chosen receiving app gets access to that file. Copying a text report places it on the system clipboard, where access follows Android and receiving-app rules. PetVisit does not send messages automatically.
• Local visits and report generation work offline. Google Play purchase, verification and restore operations require a working connection to Google Play.

Storage and security

• Records and imported photos stay in app-private Android storage. PetVisit has no developer-operated sync or client-data backend. Automatic Android cloud backup and device-transfer backup are disabled. The app does not add its own password or database-encryption layer; use your device’s screen lock and security settings.
• PDF, JPEG and text reports exclude the separate private care-instructions field. Notes and photos that you deliberately put into an owner report are included. PetVisit does not automatically redact private information you type into the owner-note field or show in a photo.
• A manual ZIP backup includes client and visit records, photos and private care instructions. It is not encrypted by PetVisit. Purchase receipts and Pro entitlement data are excluded; importing a ZIP cannot grant Pro. Choose a trusted storage location and share backups only with intended recipients. A chosen cloud-drive or messaging provider handles the resulting copy under its own terms.

Third-party services

• Google Play Billing handles the optional purchase. PetVisit exchanges product availability, localized price, Pro purchase records and state, signed receipt and purchase acknowledgement information with Google Play to verify and restore Pro. If acknowledgement is interrupted, a scheduled background task retries it when a network connection is available. PetVisit does not receive your card number or bank-account details. Google processes payment, purchase-account and related device information under its own terms. See https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/.
• Google Play Billing automatically sends technical billing, connection and error diagnostics to Google for billing-service reliability and SDK improvement. This includes operation results and error details, a random session identifier, app and library versions, device and Android information, network type, locale language and country, and mobile-operator information. The SDK can send these data without a completed purchase, and PetVisit has no separate switch to disable this diagnostic flow. PetVisit does not include owner or pet names, care instructions, visit notes or photos in billing or diagnostic requests. We do not run our own marketing or app-usage analytics.
• The app verifies the Play receipt signature on the device and refreshes ownership through Google Play. A signed receipt and its verification time are retained privately outside Android backup and the manual ZIP. This receipt can support up to 30 days of offline access after a successful check. A successful Play check that no longer finds the purchase removes Pro access. Offline refund or revocation changes are not detected immediately. Restore an eligible purchase with the purchasing Google Play account.
• If you contact info@blacksunset.ee, Blacksunset and its email providers receive your address, message and attachments. Send only what is needed for support. Opening this website involves website hosting requests and, if you agree, the website’s separate analytics. The website privacy notice in the footer explains that processing; it does not mean native PetVisit usage is tracked.

Advertising and purchases

• The planned model is one client free and an optional one-time Pro purchase for additional clients, with a target price of EUR 5.99 in euro-priced regions. Google Play supplies the applicable local price before purchase. Pro is not a subscription. There are no ads in either tier. Version 1.0.0 is in preparation and is not presented here as publicly available.
• A pending payment does not unlock Pro. If the purchase cannot currently be confirmed, existing client history and reports remain readable and exportable. New-client and new-visit access follows the free allowance until Pro is restored.

Retention and deletion

• Local records remain until you remove them using the app’s available controls, clear PetVisit’s storage in Android settings or uninstall it. Clearing storage or uninstalling removes local records, imported photo copies and the cached purchase receipt. PetVisit cannot recover records without a backup you kept.
• Original photos, saved reports, exported ZIP files, clipboard copies and copies already sent to other people or services are separate. Remove those copies where they are stored. Removing a photo from a visit does not delete the original photo from your gallery. Opening the Android share sheet does not prove a report was sent.
• Google handles retention of purchase and SDK diagnostic information under its own policies and legal obligations. Removing PetVisit does not delete Google’s transaction or diagnostic records, and PetVisit does not provide an API to delete Google’s SDK diagnostics. Support correspondence is kept only as needed to respond and meet applicable retention duties. Request access, correction or deletion of developer-held support information at info@blacksunset.ee; Blacksunset cannot remotely access or delete records held only on your device.

Your rights and contact

Where data-protection law applies, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of personal data controlled by the publisher, and object to processing. Most product data described here is held only on your device and can be managed there.

You may also lodge a complaint with the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate.

This policy may be updated when the app or legal requirements change. The revision date above shows the current version.
