Last updated: April 19, 2026

Vet School App ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our mobile application.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

• Account information — name and email address when you create an account.
• Usage data — schools you view, compare, or save; search queries; and features you interact with.
• Device information — device type, operating system version, and app version for troubleshooting.
• Analytics — anonymized, aggregated usage statistics to improve the app.

We do not collect payment information directly. Any purchases are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play and are governed by their respective privacy policies.

How We Use Your Information

• Provide and personalize app features such as school matching and admissions tracking.
• Send relevant notifications about deadlines or application reminders (only if you opt in).
• Improve the app through anonymized analytics.
• Respond to support requests.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:

• Service providers — third-party vendors that help us operate the app (e.g., hosting, analytics), bound by confidentiality agreements.
• Legal requirements — if required by law or to protect our rights.

Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

Children's Privacy

This app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it promptly.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Opt out of marketing communications.
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-Party Links

The app may contain links to external websites (e.g., individual veterinary school pages, VMCAS). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the date at the top of this page.
