PetDrinkDiary currently does not provide account registration, login, subscription services, advertising services, a public community or content-publishing platform, cloud account synchronization, or developer-operated server data storage services. However, you may use the system sharing feature to actively send check-in images, personal milestone images, or other content you generate to third-party applications.

2. Service Content and Licence to Use

2.1

PetDrinkDiary is a utility application for daily hydration management. Its primary features include:

• Recording the time, amount, beverage type, and notes associated with your water intake;
• Displaying daily hydration progress, historical records, and hydration statistics;
• Generating suggested hydration goals based on information you actively provide or authorize the App to access;
• Providing local hydration reminder features;
• Providing pet companionship, personal milestones, and related interactive displays;
• Reading body mass, biological sex, step count, and hydration data from Apple Health after you grant authorisation;
• Writing hydration records newly created in the App to Apple Health;
• When you modify a hydration record linked to Apple Health, attempting to update the corresponding Apple Health hydration sample if the hydration amount or hydration time changes. Such updates may not be completed due to system permissions, Apple Health status, or other system-related reasons;
• When you authorize location access and actively generate or regenerate a hydration goal, referencing local current temperature and other environmental information;
• Providing a home screen Widget that displays locally stored hydration progress and related information;
• Providing a feature for today’s check-in that stores local data such as the check-in date, streak information, daily hydration amount, beverage statistics, and completion rate;
• Generating today’s check-in and personal milestone share images and, when you actively choose to do so, sharing them through the system sharing feature or saving them to the system photo library.

2.2

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, you are granted a personal, non-commercial, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited licence to use PetDrinkDiary solely for its intended purpose.

2.3

Certain features may be affected by device model, iOS version, network status, system permissions, Apple Health authorisation, availability of Apple services, or other system conditions.

We will make reasonable efforts to maintain the normal operation of the App's local features. However, we do not guarantee that all features will function fully and normally on every device, in every network environment, or at all times.

3. Hydration Goals, Reminders, and Information Accuracy

3.1

The hydration goals, reminders, statistics, environmental references, and other related suggestions provided by PetDrinkDiary are for daily hydration management reference only.

3.2

Suggested hydration goals may be affected by information you actively provide, Apple Health authorisation status, body mass, biological sex, step count, local current temperature references, network status, and other system conditions.

3.3

We will make reasonable efforts to provide appropriate record displays and hydration goal suggestions. However, we do not guarantee that such results are suitable for every user, every physical condition, or every specific situation.

3.4

You should decide whether to follow any suggestion provided by the App based on your own actual circumstances and are responsible for confirming the accuracy of the information you record.

3.5

Hydration reminders are delivered through local iOS notifications on your device. Whether reminders are displayed normally may be affected by notification permissions, device settings, Focus modes, system status, and other system conditions.

4. Health Disclaimer

4.1

PetDrinkDiary is not a medical device and does not provide medical diagnosis, treatment advice, emergency medical services, or individualized medical plans.

4.2

Hydration needs may vary depending on age, body weight, activity level, environment, illness, medication use, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and other individual circumstances.

4.3

If you have kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, a medical condition requiring fluid restriction, special pregnancy-related circumstances, or any other condition requiring medical management, you should prioritize the advice of a physician, dietitian, or other qualified professional.

4.4

You should not ignore, delay, or replace professional medical advice because of your use of PetDrinkDiary.

5. Apple Health, Location, and System Permissions

5.1

Certain features of PetDrinkDiary may require you to actively authorize relevant system permissions, including Apple Health, notifications, location, camera, and photo library permissions.

5.2

After you authorize Apple Health access, PetDrinkDiary may read body mass, biological sex, step count, and hydration data.

Body mass, biological sex, and step count may be used to generate hydration goal suggestions. Hydration data may be used for hydration record synchronization and related displays.

PetDrinkDiary only writes hydration records newly created in the App to Apple Health. When a hydration record linked to Apple Health is updated because its hydration amount or hydration time changes, the App will attempt to synchronize the corresponding Apple Health hydration sample.

PetDrinkDiary does not write body mass, biological sex, or step count data to Apple Health.

5.3

When you authorize location access and actively generate or regenerate a hydration goal, PetDrinkDiary may obtain your current location on a one-time basis and reference the current local temperature. The App does not perform continuous location tracking or background location tracking.

5.4

You may decide whether to grant these permissions and may adjust or revoke them at any time through the App, iPhone Settings, or Apple Health.

5.5

Declining certain permissions will not affect your use of the basic hydration-recording features, but it may cause some features to become unavailable or limited. For example:

• Without Apple Health authorisation, you will not be able to use the corresponding health data reading, hydration record writing, and related features;
• Without location authorisation, suggested hydration goals cannot be adjusted using the current local temperature;
• Without notification authorisation, you will not be able to receive local hydration reminders;
• Without camera or photo library authorisation, you will not be able to take or select a profile image or today’s check-in photo, or save generated images to the system photo library.

5.6

For information regarding Apple Health, location, WeatherKit, system notifications, camera, photo library permissions, and related information-processing practices, please refer to the PetDrinkDiary Privacy Policy.
