Osanpo Inc. ("we", "us", or "our") complies with the Act on the Protection of Personal Information of Japan ("APPI") and handles users' personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy ("Policy") in connection with the "Osanpo" application ("App") and our website.
What we care about
- Your dog's photos and data are encrypted and stored securely.
- We never sell your personal information to any third party.
- When you delete your account, we delete your data within 30 days.

We may collect the following information when you use the App.
(1) Information you provide
- Account information (identifier from LINE login, display name)

(3) Diagnostic and usage data (anonymous)

Neither identifies you, and the photos themselves are never transmitted. You can stop sending it from the "Send Diagnostic Data" toggle in the app's settings.

3. Data Processing by AI Features
The App uses AI (a machine learning model) for the feature that detects dogs in photos. Regarding this AI processing, we promise the following:
- All AI processing is performed solely on your device, and photo data is never sent to any external server.
- We never use your photo data as training data for AI models.
4. Provision to Third Parties
We will not provide your personal information to third parties except in the following cases:
- When you have given your consent

Photo data is encrypted and stored on cloud servers. While we strive to maintain and improve information security, we cannot guarantee complete security for communications over the internet.
