Privacy & Data

All your data stays on your device using Apple's SwiftData framework — no cloud servers, no accounts, no data collection. Internet is only required for the Vet Finder map feature.

Backing Up Your Data

  1. Open iPhone Settings → tap your Apple ID
  2. Select iCloud → iCloud Backup
  3. Enable iCloud Backup to include Paw Wallet data

Your data is also included in iTunes/Finder backups. When restoring to a new device, all Paw Wallet data transfers automatically.

Troubleshooting

Notifications not working

Go to iPhone Settings → Paw Wallet → Notifications and ensure "Allow Notifications" is ON. Also confirm reminders have a future due date and that "Create reminder for due date" was toggled on when the vaccine was saved.

Photos not appearing

Go to iPhone Settings → Paw Wallet → Photos and select "All Photos" or "Selected Photos". For camera access, go to Settings → Paw Wallet → Camera and toggle ON.

Vet Finder not working

Go to iPhone Settings → Paw Wallet → Location and select "While Using the App". If there are no results, check your internet connection, try searching "veterinarian" or "animal hospital", or zoom out on the map.

App language not changing

Close and reopen the app. If the issue persists, reinstall the app.

Reinstalling deletes all data unless you have a recent iCloud or iTunes backup.

Accidentally deleted a pet

There is no undo function. Restore from a recent iCloud or iTunes backup to recover the data.
