Data Ownership
Last updated: February 20, 2026
At DosePaw, we believe your pet's health data belongs to you — not to us. Here's what that means in practice.
You Own Your Data
All your pet data is stored locally on your device first. The cloud is just a backup — you're always in control. If DosePaw shuts down tomorrow, your data is safe in your hands.
Full Export, Anytime
Download everything — pets, medications, dose history, vaccinations, health records, documents, and photos — in one ZIP file. Your data is in standard JSON format, readable by any text editor or spreadsheet app.
- Human-readable JSON — open with any text editor
- All photos and documents included
- Save anywhere — Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, USB
- No internet required for local data export
Easy Restore
Moving to a new device? Upload your backup and pick up right where you left off. Before any restore, DosePaw automatically saves your current data as a safety net — so you can never lose anything.
Privacy First
No ads. No tracking. No selling your data. Your pet's health information stays between you and your vet. We comply with GDPR Article 20 (Right to Data Portability) — your data is always exportable in a structured, machine-readable format.
No Lock-In
DosePaw will never hold your data hostage. Your backup works without DosePaw — it's a standard ZIP with JSON files that any developer or app can read. You can import it into spreadsheets, other pet health apps, or keep it as a permanent archive of your pet's health history.
Your pet's data belongs to you, not to us.
