Privacy Policy
Last updated: 3/23/2026
The protection of your privacy and the location data of your walks is our absolute priority.
1. Data Collected
Haiko strictly collects only the data necessary for the app to function properly:
- Geolocation Data: GPS position is only triggered when you explicitly start a recorded walk.
- Account Information: E-mail address, first name, encrypted password.
- Dog Profile: Name, breed, age, photo.
2. Data Usage
Location data is used exclusively to measure distance, duration, and track your routes in order to award XP and statistics. We do not sell any data to third parties.
3. Hosting and Security
All user data is hosted on secure servers in Europe (AWS / Google Cloud). Passwords are hashed, and traffic is fully encrypted via SSL/TLS.
4. Your Rights
In compliance with GDPR regulations, you have full rights to access, rectify, and completely erase your personal data. You may delete your data via the mobile App in Account Settings, or request full deletion by contacting us at privacy@haiko.app.
