campaign Advertising through Google AdMob

What we never share with ad partners:

  • Pet health records, vaccinations, medications, or vet visit history.
  • Family sharing data or invite codes.
  • Messages with your vet.
  • Your name, email, phone, or address.

You can control ad personalization:

  • iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking → Pasiko: deny to stop advertising ID sharing.
  • Pasiko → Settings → About → Ad Privacy Choices (visible to EU, UK, and other regulated users): revisit consent preferences at any time.
