Privacy and data use

What we store

When you create an account, Auth0 handles your sign-in details and Edward's Log stores an account identifier so your account can work. The app may also store the pet profiles, seizure events, medications, feedings, activities, notes, images, and other records that you choose to enter.

We use this information to provide the logging, charts, sharing, study, and analysis features you request. We do not use it for advertising, and the app does not currently use user-tracking analytics.

Cookies and similar technologies

The app uses necessary Auth0 session cookies to keep you signed in and protect account access. These cookies are required for authenticated features. We do not currently set advertising or analytics cookies.

If optional analytics, advertising, or other non-essential cookies are added later, they will be kept off until you give consent and you will be able to withdraw that consent.

Photos

Photos you upload are redrawn in your browser before upload and re-encoded again on our server. This removes embedded metadata such as GPS location, camera or phone model, and capture time, and we do not keep your original file name. Only the processed image is stored.

Pet profile photos are stored at a hard-to-guess web address so they can appear in the app and on share links. Anyone who has that exact address can view the photo, so do not use a profile photo that shows people, documents, or anything else you would not want shared.

Medication label photos are optional. Before upload, you crop the photo to just the medication details, and everything outside your selection is discarded on your device. Pharmacy labels often include names, addresses, phone numbers, and prescription numbers, so leave those outside the crop. Label photos are stored privately, are only viewable by you (and the administrators of a study your pet is enrolled in), and are never shown on public share links.

Removing a label photo, deleting a medication, or deleting your account permanently deletes the stored photo.

Studies and data exports

If you join a study, the study administrator may be able to view the study data that you submit and request an export for the study. Study exports are generated for the study's authorized administrators; joining a study should be treated as permission to share the submitted data with that study team.

Before joining a study, review its consent materials for the study's purpose, retention period, recipients, and withdrawal process. Those study-specific materials control how the study uses the data in addition to this app-level notice.

Optional AI analysis

AI analysis is optional and can be enabled for a pet. When requested, relevant pet records are sent from Edward's Log's server to its processing infrastructure and then to OpenAI to produce pattern-oriented results. The analysis is intended to help organize observations, not to diagnose a condition or recommend treatment.

Enabling automated analysis requires confirmation. Reports are scheduled on the 1st and 15th of each month (UTC), comparing the most recent 2 weeks of records with the preceding 6 weeks. This is not real-time monitoring or an emergency alert service. Turning it off stops inclusion in future scheduled runs; existing reports remain available and work already in progress may still finish.

We configure the OpenAI service for API use and do not intend for submitted data to be used to train general OpenAI models. That setting is not an absolute promise that no authorized service provider personnel or infrastructure could ever access data, so do not submit information you are not comfortable processing through the configured providers. We will document the exact provider terms, retention settings, and any changes before treating this summary as a complete legal privacy notice.

AI results are informational only. Always discuss seizure or medication concerns with a qualified veterinarian.

Optional scheduled-care reminders

When you create a feeding or medication schedule, we store its times, time zone, planned care details, and the outcomes you explicitly record. Sending or opening a reminder does not record that care happened.

Browser push is optional and requires your permission on each device. If you enable it, we store the browser's push endpoint, encryption keys, and a device label. AWS processes reminder jobs, and your browser's push service delivers encrypted notifications. Notifications use discreet text and an internal reminder link, not medication details or login credentials.

You can turn off reminders for this browser or revoke an enrolled device from the scheduled-care page. Expired delivery records are removed after seven days; schedule and care history remain until you delete the relevant pet or account. Notifications already displayed on a device cannot always be recalled. Push is best-effort and is not a substitute for your own medication routine or alarms.

Your choices and questions

You choose what to enter, whether to enable reminders or AI analysis, and whether to participate in a study. Do not use a public share link for information you do not want its recipient to see. For account, data-access, deletion, or privacy questions, contact the app operator through the project's support channel.
