Data Controller And Contact
The data controller for Pawpi is OINNG Inc., a corporation organized in the Republic of Korea. Its business address is Room 405, 4F, 200 Itaewon-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 04405, Republic of Korea.
Contact support@oinng.com for privacy, deletion, or public-removal requests and support@oinng.com for general support. An infrastructure or field-support relationship alone does not make a provider a joint controller of Pawpi data.
Information Pawpi Collects
Pawpi may process account email, session data, KYC status, profile display information, language and notification settings, push tokens, device information, and app activity logs.
When you join by invitation, Pawpi records your confirmation that you are 14 or older, the joining-notice version, language, and time. Pawpi does not collect or store a birth date for this confirmation. Previously recorded age ranges are preserved. An unknown age is not treated as adult; adult-only features require a separate check.
To manage invitations and prevent misuse, Pawpi processes inviter and member account identifiers, invitation, joining, revocation and expiry states and times, joining-continuation information, and welcome-creation grant records. Inviters can see whom they invited, but cannot access their email, device information, or private activity. Pawpi does not import address books.
For card creation, Pawpi may process real animal photos, capture location, broad public area labels, TNR clues, personality and approach notes, card generation requests, generated cards, and operator review records.
Card Passes, Treats, in-app purchases, refunds, chargebacks, payouts, first-finder claims, care participation, safety reports, and exact-location access records may be stored with audit logs for abuse prevention and animal safety.
Teen Users
People under 14 may not join Pawpi. When invitation-only access is enabled, maps and cards are unavailable before joining is complete. Joining does not verify adulthood or authorize sensitive features.
Accounts for users ages 14–17 do not receive Care, KYC, exact-location, rescue-role, expense-settlement, or cash-payout authority. Those features require a separate adult confirmation and any applicable verification.
Pawpi does not offer rewarded-ad sessions to accounts in the 14–15 range, historical accounts recorded as 13–15, or to accounts whose age range is not currently confirmed. Pawpi will complete a separate legal, store, and advertising-policy review before enabling advertising for that group.
Location And Animal Safety
Exact GPS location is not shown directly on public cards or public maps. Public surfaces are designed to show broad areas, zones, approximate radius, and public labels.
Pawpi may use Google Maps and Google Geocoding for map tiles and public area labels. Before a public-label lookup is sent to Google, Pawpi's server reduces the coordinate to three decimal places—an approximately 110 m latitude cell—and the provider's privacy terms may apply.
Exact-location access, transport, foster, rescue participation, and care-room coordination may require KYC, operator approval, account trust checks, and role eligibility. Buying or owning a card is not a care-access requirement.
Suspected animal harassment, unsafe behavior, or location misuse may lead to safety reports, account restrictions, blocked exact-location access, and operator review.
Friends And Card Sharing
When you use Friends, Pawpi stores account identifiers, request, acceptance and block states, card-sharing preferences, hidden cards and sharing-change records. Pawpi does not import your phone's address book. Invite codes are stored as hashes and expire after 7 days. Creating a new invite or revoking an invite invalidates the old code.
Public profiles appear in ID search with their display name, ID and public profile photo. Private profiles connect through invite links or codes. Automatic card sharing and approximate card-location sharing are on by default. Once you mutually accept a friend request, your existing and future created cards are shared automatically, except cards you hide. Pending requests and people who are not friends do not receive access through this feature. In Card sharing settings, you can turn off card or location sharing, or hide individual cards. Previously saved off choices and hidden cards are preserved. Cards collected from other creators, exact coordinates, live location, original photos, email and travel history are not shared.
Hiding a card or turning off automatic sharing prevents new access through friend sharing. Removing or blocking a friend also ends that friend's access. If you both accept a new connection while automatic sharing is on, non-hidden created cards are visible again. Previous individual grants are not restored. Pawpi cannot recall screens or screenshots already saved by a recipient. Friend sharing does not change public visibility or sales settings.
Payments, Card Passes, Treats, And Payouts
A Card Pass is a non-cash entitlement used to create a Creator card or collect a published card's Supporter Edition. Card Passes and Treats are not cash, cryptocurrency, transferable assets, or external wallet balances.
In-app purchases may be processed by Apple or Google payment systems. Pawpi does not store full card numbers, but may store receipts, product IDs, transaction IDs, refund or chargeback status, and ledger records.
First-finder or care-related payouts require separate KYC, operator review, expense approval, policy version checks, and payout provider eligibility. They are not marketed as guaranteed income.
KYC And Identity Verification
KYC is not required to file a safety report, browse the public map, record a sighting, or create a card. Pawpi may require KYC or identity verification only for exact-location access, verified care roles, cash First Finder rewards, expense reimbursement, and payout eligibility.
Where possible, sensitive source documents and government ID details are verified by providers such as Stripe Identity, Stripe Connect, or regional identity providers instead of being stored directly by Pawpi.
Pawpi may store limited operational status such as verification state, provider name, provider reference, and verification time.
AI Card Generation And Photo Retention
Pawpi cards are generated from real animal photos. Card generation providers and storage services may process photos, prompts, outputs, failures, and retry logs.
Original photos, additional photos, and operator review records may be retained separately from the generated card so real animals can be identified and helped safely.
A generated card does not automatically establish official numbering or first-finder rights. Duplicate review, canonical cat identity, official numbering, and first-finder claims are operator-controlled workflows.
Account Deletion Requests
You can request account deletion in the app by opening Settings > Account deletion and typing DELETE. Once submitted, Pawpi disables push devices and notification subscriptions immediately.
Account deletion is a deletion and anonymization review workflow, not an instant hard delete. Profile, notification, and app account data are deletion or anonymization targets.
Payment and payout ledgers, KYC provider records, safety reports, exact-location access audits, first-finder claims, and abuse-prevention records may be retained where required for legal, platform, tax, animal-safety, or fraud-prevention obligations.
Service Providers And International Processing
Pawpi does not sell personal information. Microsoft Azure may provide app and API hosting, databases, private file storage, and service email. OpenAI may process submitted photos, generation instructions, outputs, and minimal failure or retry data when a user requests AI card generation and review.
Google may process information needed for maps and geocoding, Firebase Cloud Messaging push notifications, and Google sign-in. If a user opts in from app settings, Firebase Analytics may process limited screen, card-creation, collection, and Pawpi-purchase steps, an app-instance identifier, and technical app/device information, while Firebase Crashlytics may process crash and technical-error diagnostics. These options are off by default, do not use ad-personalization signals, and Pawpi does not send its account IDs, email, name, animal photos, exact location, or card, request, order, or transaction identifiers in Firebase analytics events.
Apple or Google app stores and Stripe process transaction or authentication data only when the relevant feature is enabled and the user chooses it.
Limited information may be shared when needed for animal safety, fraud prevention, legal requests, rights protection, operator review, or a business transfer or restructuring.
Information may be processed in the United States, Korea, or other countries where providers operate. Pawpi reviews the active provider, purpose, data scope, and transfer basis for each launch jurisdiction and updates this notice and any required consent before enabling a new KYC or payout provider.
Retention And Deletion Standards
Account and profile information is retained while an account is active or as needed to provide the service. Source photos and exact location are limited to purposes such as card creation, animal identification, duplicate or safety review, or a user-selected private record.
Payment, refund, chargeback, and payout records; safety reports; exact-location access audits; and abuse-prevention records may be retained only as needed for law, tax, app-store obligations, disputes, or animal safety.
Pawpi's current internal target is to review an account-deletion request and provide processing status within 14 days. Final deletion of some records may take longer when legal retention, disputes, fraud, or safety investigations apply. Jurisdiction-specific schedules and automated-deletion evidence will be finalized through legal review before broad public launch.
