Privacy policy

Effective 5 November 2026

This policy covers the DoomPet app for Android and this website. "We" means DoomPet. It says what the app reads, what stays on your phone, what leaves it, and how long we keep it.

What stays on your phone

These live only on your phone. They are never sent to us.

• How many reels you scrolled each day, in each app.
• Your daily limit, the scene you picked, and your other settings.
• The scenes you installed or made.
• For a scene made with Our AI, a copy of the photo you used, so you can remake the scene later. It is deleted when you delete the scene.
• If you set app limits, your limits and how long you used each app today.

DoomPet turns off Android's app backup, so none of this is copied to your Google backup.

How DoomPet spots reels

DoomPet uses Android's Accessibility service, which you switch on yourself. This is how it knows when you move to a new reel.

• When the screen changes from one app to another, it checks which app is in front. That's the app's name only.
• While Instagram, YouTube or Snapchat is in front, it reads a few labels from the reel on screen. In Instagram, that's who posted the reel and its caption. In YouTube Shorts, it's the channel name and the video's length. In Snapchat Spotlight, it's the words shown on the snap, such as who posted it and its caption, leaving out view and like counts.
• It turns those labels into a short code in memory, so it counts each reel once a day. The labels and the code are never saved, logged or sent. Only the number of reels per app per day is saved, on your phone.
• It never reads what you type. It doesn't listen for typing at all, and it reads only the labels above.
• In other apps it learns nothing except which app is open.
• It draws your pet on top of the reel app. It never taps or types in other apps. The one change it makes is closing an app whose limit is up, and only if you set an app limit.

App limits

If you set an app limit:

• DoomPet asks for Usage access, and reads how long you've used apps today.
• It uses the same Accessibility service to notice which app is open, so it can close an app when its time is up.
• It lists the apps on your phone that you can open, so you can pick one to limit.
• Your app times and limits stay on your phone. They are never sent to us.

If you don't set an app limit, DoomPet doesn't read your app usage.

Our AI

Our AI makes a scene for you from your words or a photo. It's optional, and it needs you to sign in with Google.

What is sent

• The words you write, the style and the number of frames you choose.
• Your photo, if you add one. Before it leaves your phone, the app makes it smaller and removes its hidden details, such as where it was taken.
• When you fix a scene, which frames you picked and any note you add.

Where it goes

It goes to our server, which runs on Google's Firebase. Our server sends your words and photo to OpenAI. OpenAI checks them for content that isn't allowed, plans the scene and draws its pictures. Each picture it makes is checked too.

With each request, we give OpenAI a scrambled form of your account ID, which can't be turned back into it. OpenAI uses it to spot abuse. We never send OpenAI your name or email address. OpenAI handles what we send under its own policies.

How long we keep it

• Your photo: deleted from our server 7 days after you start the scene.
• Your words, the scene's plan, its pictures and the finished scene file: deleted 30 days after you start the scene. Until then you can fix frames in it.
• If a scene can't be made, the pictures made for it are deleted straight away.
• The scene on your phone stays until you delete it.

Our server's logs record what went wrong with a job. They never hold your words or pictures.

When something isn't allowed

If your words, your photo or a made picture is flagged, the scene isn't made. We note a strike on your account. A refusal for violence alone gives no strike, because in DoomPet the pet always gets hit. After 5 strikes, Our AI is paused for your account, and we look at it by hand.

Reporting a scene

You can report a scene Our AI made with the flag on its page. We save your reason, which scene it is and the account that made it, and we may look at the scene's words and pictures while they're still on our server. The report is deleted 30 days after you send it, or when you delete your account.

Signing in with Google

You only need to sign in for Our AI and credits. The rest of DoomPet works without an account.

• Firebase Authentication receives your Google account's name, email address and profile picture, and gives you an account ID.
• Our database keeps, under that ID, your credit balance, your push token (see Notifications) and your strike count.
• It also keeps your Our AI scenes, for as long as Our AI says.

Signing out doesn't delete your account. See Deleting your data.

Buying credits

• Credits are sold through Google Play. Google handles the payment. We never see your card or bank details.
• The app tags each purchase with a scrambled form of your account ID, so only your account can use it.
• Our server asks Google Play whether the purchase is real, then adds your credits.
• We keep a record of each purchase: your account ID, the pack, its credits, the Google Play order number and whether it was refunded. This is our record of sales.
• Each day we check Google Play for refunded purchases and take those credits back.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, DoomPet tells you when your scene is ready or couldn't be made. It uses Firebase Cloud Messaging, which gives your phone a push token. We save that token with your account so we know where to send the message. The message holds only the scene's ID and whether it finished.

Checking it's the real app

When the app talks to our server, Firebase App Check uses Google Play Integrity to confirm the request comes from the real DoomPet app on a real Android phone. Google does this check. Our server only sees whether it passed.

Crash reports and statistics

Crash reports

If the app crashes, it sends a report to Firebase Crashlytics. The report says what went wrong in the code, and gives your phone model, Android version, app version and a random ID for this install. We add nothing of our own to it: no reel counts, no scene names, no account ID.

Usage statistics

DoomPet includes Google Analytics for Firebase. We don't log any events of our own. Analytics records some things by itself, such as:

• that the app was opened for the first time, how often it's used and for how long, and which screens are opened;
• app updates, Android updates, and the app being removed;
• credit purchases, with the pack and its price;
• your phone model, Android version, language, app version and rough location (country or city, worked out from your internet address);
• a random ID for this install and, if your phone allows it, your phone's advertising ID.

None of it includes reel counts, what you watch, your app times, your words or your photos, and we don't link it to your account. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.

Measuring our ads

We advertise DoomPet on Instagram and Facebook. To learn which ads bring people who use the app, DoomPet includes Meta's app SDK. It sends Meta:

• that the app was installed and when it's opened;
• once, that you turned tracking on for the first time;
• credit purchases, with the pack and its price;
• your phone model, Android version, language, app version, and, if your phone allows it, your phone's advertising ID.

Meta uses this to tell us how our ads did and to show them to people more likely to use the app. Meta's own privacy policy covers what it does with it. It holds no reel counts, what you watch, your app times, your words or your photos, and we don't link it to your account. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.

Sharing scenes

When you share a scene, DoomPet makes a .doompet file and hands it to the app you pick. It goes only where you send it. The file holds the scene's pictures, its name and how it plays. For an Our AI scene, it also holds the words you made it from, and pictures made from your photo may look like it.

When you import a scene, you pick the file and see every picture before it's installed. It stays on your phone.

When you share your pet's obituary, DoomPet makes a picture with today's reel count and the apps the reels came from, and hands it to the app you pick. It goes only where you send it.

Your AI and the clipboard

Your AI copies DoomPet's prompt so you can paste it into an AI app you already use. What you send to that app is covered by its own privacy policy, not this one.

DoomPet reads your clipboard only when you tap Paste: the text your AI wrote, or a picture. The text and the pictures you paste, share to DoomPet or pick from your gallery are made into a scene on your phone. They are not sent to us.

What we don't do

• DoomPet shows no ads.
• We don't sell your data.
• Your reel counts, what you watch and your app times never leave your phone, unless you share an obituary.
• DoomPet doesn't ask for your location, contacts, camera or microphone. It sees a photo only when you pick one.

Who handles your data

• Google, through Firebase (sign-in, our database and file storage, our server, push messages, crash reports, statistics and App Check) and Google Play (purchases and Play Integrity). Our server and its storage are in the United States.
• OpenAI, only for Our AI, as described above.
• Meta, to measure our ads on Instagram and Facebook, as described above.

Children

DoomPet isn't made for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them. If you think a child under 13 has signed in to DoomPet, write to us and we'll delete the account.

Deleting your data

On your phone

Uninstalling DoomPet removes everything it stored on your phone. So does clearing its storage in Android's settings. Deleting a scene in the app removes it, and the photo kept for it.

Deleting your account keeps your scenes on your phone, but Our AI scenes can't be fixed any more, and their kept photos are deleted.

On our server

Our AI photos go by themselves after 7 days, and the rest of each scene after 30.

To delete your account, open DoomPet and go to Settings, then Account and credits, then Delete account. It deletes your sign-in, credit balance, push token, strikes, reports and any scenes still on our server at once, and signs you out. A scene still being made stops. Unused credits are lost. We keep purchase records as our record of sales.

Crash reports and usage statistics aren't linked to your name or account.
