Draft for counsel review. This is a structured placeholder produced for design and content-planning purposes. It is not legal advice and is not a binding policy. Final language must be reviewed and approved by qualified legal counsel before publication.

1. Introduction

caniscan (“we,” “us”) provides an AI-powered canine gait-analysis platform. This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. caniscan is a screening tool, not a diagnostic device.

  • Billing information processed by our payment provider (we do not store full card numbers)
  • Usage and device data, including logs, app version and approximate region
