Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 30, 2026
Capawble is a platform that helps professional dog trainers build training
methodologies and helps dog parents follow a structured daily training
experience between sessions. This policy explains what information we
collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to our mobile
apps and the web app at capawble.com.
Who this policy is for
Capawble is used by two kinds of people: trainers
(professional dog trainers who run their methodology and client roster on
the platform) and dog parents (the dog owners a trainer
invites to follow their dog's training). Capawble is intended for adults and
is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal
information from children.
Information we collect
We collect the following, depending on how you use Capawble:
- Account information. Your email address (used to sign
in), display name, and role (trainer or dog parent). Trainers may also add
a business name, profile photo, and business logo.
- Dog information. Information you enter about a dog,
such as name, photo, approximate month of birth, breed, and dietary or
allergy notes.
- Training content. Trainer-authored methodology
(skills, behaviors, activities, capabilities, and related notes), session
records and notes, assessments, and the daily activities, completions, and
notes a dog parent records.
- Content you upload. Photos, voice notes, and documents
(for example PDF, DOCX, or text files) that you provide so Capawble can
help build or apply a training methodology.
- Intake and feedback. Responses to trainer intake forms
and any feedback you submit in the app.
- Technical information. Basic information needed to
operate and secure the service, such as a request identifier, app version,
time zone offset, and error/diagnostic logs. We do not use third-party
advertising or cross-site tracking.
How we use information
- To provide the core service: connecting trainers and dog parents,
tracking training progress, scheduling and recording sessions, and
surfacing a daily plan.
- To power AI-assisted features. When you provide notes, voice notes, or
documents, Capawble may transcribe and process that content to generate
proposals (for example a draft methodology or a session summary).
These proposals are always presented to a trainer for review, and nothing
is saved to your training records until a trainer explicitly confirms it.
- To authenticate users, keep accounts secure, and isolate each trainer's
data from other trainers.
- To diagnose problems, monitor reliability, and improve the product.
- To communicate with you about the service, including invitations a
trainer sends to a dog parent.
How information is shared
Capawble is built around a private relationship between a trainer and the
dog parents they invite. A trainer's methodology and private notes are not
shared with other trainers. Information is shared only as follows:
- Between a trainer and the dog parent for a given dog, as
needed to deliver training (for example, assigned activities, a shared
session summary, and a dog's progress). Notes a trainer marks as private
stay private to that trainer.
- With service providers who process data on our behalf
(see below).
- For legal reasons, if required to comply with law,
enforce our terms, or protect the rights and safety of users.
- In a business transfer, such as a merger or
acquisition, subject to this policy.
We do not sell your personal information.
Service providers
Capawble runs on Google Cloud Platform and relies on the following providers
to operate:
- Google Cloud Platform (hosting, database, and file
storage) and Firebase Authentication (sign-in).
- Google Cloud AI services (Vertex AI and Speech-to-Text)
to transcribe voice notes and generate the AI proposals described above.
Content sent to these services is processed to provide the feature and is
not used to train third-party advertising models.
- Stripe and Link, a Stripe service (payments for paid
plans). If you buy a paid plan, Link sells it to you as the merchant of
record. We give Stripe your name and email address to set up the purchase.
Stripe and Link receive the billing address and payment details you enter at
checkout, and handle them under their own privacy policies. We receive your
plan, its status and its renewal date, never your card number.
Data retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed
to provide the service. You can delete your account yourself, in the app under
Settings › Delete account. Deletion is scheduled with a
30 day window in which you can cancel it, and is subject to limited exceptions
where we must retain data to comply with legal obligations. See
Delete Your Account or Data for the steps and
timing.
Some records about a dog outlive the account that produced
them, because they belong to the dog and its family rather than to any one
person. When a trainer closes their account, the dog keeps its level, points,
celebration timeline, and the badges Capawble itself awards, and its family
keeps the dog's care log and routine. The records that are specific to that
trainer go with them: their assessments of the dog, their private notes, their
sessions, and the badges belonging to their own methodology.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export,
or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain
processing. You can edit much of your information directly in the app. For
other requests, contact us at the address below and we will respond as
required by applicable law.
Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including
encrypted connections (HTTPS), authenticated access, and per-trainer data
isolation enforced at the database layer. No method of transmission or
storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and
review our practices regularly.
International users
Capawble is operated from the United States, and information is processed and
stored on infrastructure located in the United States. If you use Capawble
from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be
transferred to and processed there.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes,
we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify
you in the app.
