Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 November 2026.

In short: Sitspark has no accounts, no servers and no ads, and we run no analytics. We do not collect your data, and your dog’s information stays on your device. On Android, a Google library inside the app sends Google limited technical data (see AI features).

What stays on your device

Your dog’s name, age group, goal, breed (if you enter it), lesson progress, session notes and potty log are stored only on your iPhone or Android phone. We cannot see them. If you delete the app or use Settings → Erase all my data, they are removed. On Android they are left out of Google cloud backup; a direct transfer to your own new phone can include them.

On iPhone, Sitspark also keeps a small count of the free AI questions you have used in your device’s Keychain, so that erasing your data does not hand out more free questions. It contains no personal information and stays on your device.

AI features

The AI trainer, behaviour plans and session tips run on your device: Apple’s on-device language model through Apple Intelligence on iPhone, and Gemini Nano on supported Android phones. Your questions and answers are processed on your phone and are not sent to us or to any server run by us. If you choose to report AI text, your e-mail app opens with that text filled in, and we receive it only if you send the e-mail. The first time you use the AI on Android, your phone may download the model from Google.

Android only: Gemini Nano is reached through Google’s ML Kit. According to Google, ML Kit sends Google device and app information, per-installation identifiers, performance metrics and error codes, for diagnostics and usage analytics. We do not receive this data. See Google’s ML Kit data disclosure.

Notifications

If you turn on the daily reminder, Sitspark schedules local notifications on your device. If you start a free trial, it also schedules one reminder the day before the trial ends. They are not sent from a server.

Sharing, backups and summaries

The progress card is created on your device and goes only where you choose to share it.

In Settings you can create a backup file of your data, or a PDF summary of your dog’s training notes and logs for a vet or trainer. Both are created on your device and go only where you choose in the share sheet, for example Files, iCloud Drive or Mail. We never receive them. A backup you restore replaces the data on that phone.

Siri and shortcuts

On iPhone, Sitspark offers shortcuts such as starting the clicker or logging a potty event. They run in the app on your device. What you say to Siri is handled by Apple under Apple’s own privacy policy.

Purchases

Subscriptions are handled by Apple on iPhone and by Google Play on Android. We do not receive your payment details. Their own privacy policies apply to purchases.

Children

Sitspark is for dog owners and does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

Changes and contact
