Rava

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 23, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information the Rava app collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We've written it in plain English because you deserve to understand what happens with your information.

In this policy, "Rava," "we," "us," and "our" refer to Jackson Davis, the operator of the Rava app. "You" refers to anyone who uses the app.

A note before you read on. Rava is an informational tool, not a veterinary service. The guidance it provides is not a diagnosis and does not replace professional veterinary care. If your pet is in distress, contact a veterinarian immediately.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

Rava uses Sign in with Apple and Sign in with Google. When you create an account, we receive your name and email address from the sign-in provider you choose, along with the date and time you agreed to our Terms. We never see or store a password for these sign-in methods.

Pet Profile Information

When you add a pet, we collect the details you enter: name, species, breed, age, weight, sex, spay/neuter status, known medical conditions, current medications, and any photo you add.

Health and Symptom Information

When you run a symptom assessment, we collect your written description of the symptoms, the behavioral observations and red-flag symptoms you select, any photos or camera frames you submit, and the AI-generated assessment results. We also store the health records you choose to log, such as weight history, vaccinations, vet visits, reminders, and tasks.

Photos

Photos you add — pet profile photos and any images submitted with an assessment — are uploaded to our storage provider. Assessment photos are also sent to our AI provider as described in Section 3. Please do not submit photos that contain sensitive personal information about people.

Device Permissions

With your permission, Rava uses your device's camera (to capture symptom photos), photo library (to add pet photos), and notifications (to send the reminders you set up). You can change these permissions at any time in your device settings.

Diagnostic Information

We collect basic, non-identifying information about app performance and errors so we can fix bugs and improve the app.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

We do not sell your personal information, use your pet's health data for advertising, or use your data to train AI models.

3. AI-Powered Assessments

Rava's symptom assessments are generated by Claude, an AI model from Anthropic. When you submit an assessment, the content of that request — your symptom description, the observations you select, and any photos — is sent through our secure backend to Anthropic's API for processing. Anthropic processes this data to generate the assessment and does not use data submitted through its API to train its models. Anthropic's own privacy policy governs its handling of that data.

4. Who We Share Information With

We share your information only with the service providers that make Rava work:

We do not share your information with anyone else without your consent, except where required by law. Rava is operated from the United States, and your information is processed and stored there.

5. Face ID and Biometrics

If you turn on App Lock, Rava asks your device to confirm your identity with Face ID or Touch ID. This check is performed entirely by your device's operating system. Rava never receives, sees, or stores your biometric data.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your account and data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account from within the app at any time; doing so permanently removes your personal data, pet profiles, health records, and assessment history. We may retain limited information where we are required to by law.

7. Your Choices and Rights

You can view and edit your account and pet information directly in the app at any time, and you can delete your account and all associated data from within the app. If you would like a copy of your data, contact us. If you live in a jurisdiction with additional privacy rights — such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California — those rights may also apply; contact us with any request.

8. Security

We protect your data with encrypted connections (HTTPS) for all data in transit, encrypted storage through our service providers, and access controls that limit who can reach production data. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

Rava is intended for adults aged 18 and older. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you through the app or by email before they take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top always reflects the latest version.
