Pottaroo Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-11-13

Pottaroo ("the app") is a puppy potty-training log provided by DDJ B1 ("we", "us"). You tap a button when your dog pees, poops, has an accident, eats, drinks or naps, and the app shows a timeline, an estimate of the next potty break, a 24-hour rhythm and daily outside-vs-accident counts, and can remind you to take your dog out. It has no account system, no login and no server operated by us.

Information stored on your device

The dogs you add (name only) and the entries you log (type, time and optional note) and your app settings (reminder interval, theme, notification preferences) are stored locally on your device. The app itself does not send this information to us, and we have no server to receive it.

Uninstalling the app deletes the information stored in the app. Android's standard app backup may include app data in your own Google account backup if you have device backup enabled; that backup is controlled by you and Google, not by us.

Sharing and export

If you tap Share today's log, the app creates a short text (today's entries and counts) and passes it to the app you select through Android's share sheet. If you tap Export CSV, the app creates a spreadsheet file of your entries and passes it to the app you select in the same way. The app does not send either anywhere by itself.

Permissions

Pottaroo does not request location, camera, microphone, contacts, SMS, phone, exact-alarm or file-storage access, and it does not track walks with GPS.

Advertising and information collected automatically

The app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob inside the app only (never in notifications or in the widget). To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, the AdMob SDK may collect and share with Google information such as your device's advertising identifier and other device identifiers, approximate location derived from your IP address, app interactions (for example ad views and taps), crash logs and diagnostics. This data is shared with Google as a third party for advertising, analytics and fraud prevention purposes. For more information see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and other regions where required, the app presents a consent form via Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before personalized advertising data is used; if you decline, non-personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice from the app's Settings screen ("Ad privacy settings") and reset or limit ad personalization in your device settings.

Not veterinary advice

Pottaroo is a personal record-keeping tool. Estimates such as the next potty break and typical gaps are calculated from what you log and may not match your dog's actual needs. If you are worried about your dog's health, please talk to a veterinarian.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Your dogs, entries and settings exist only on your device (and in any file you choose to share or export); uninstalling the app removes the in-app data. Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), you may have rights regarding data processed by the advertising SDK; you can exercise ad-related choices through the consent form and your device's ad settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
