Privacy
Last updated July 11, 2026
The short version: your data stays on your computer. VetDash has no accounts, no cloud, and no telemetry. Everything you put in it is encrypted on your machine with a password only you know. We couldn't look at your documents if we wanted to — and we've designed things so we never have to want to.
The VetDash app
Documents, journal entries, appointments, and settings are stored in an encrypted vault on your computer (SQLCipher/AES-256, with keys derived from your master password via Argon2id). Files are individually encrypted. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
There are no accounts and no sign-in. The app collects no analytics, no crash reports, and no usage data — nothing is "phoned home," ever.
Because only you hold the password, we cannot recover your data if you lose it. The app ships with encrypted backup and restore features — use them.
The one network feature
The only network connection VetDash can make is the update check in Settings, and it happens only when you press the button. It fetches a version manifest (and, if you choose, an installer) from this website. Like any web request, that produces standard server logs at our hosting provider (Vercel) — an IP address and the file requested. No personal data, no identifiers from your vault, nothing else.
This website
jacobmckelvy.com is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard access logs. If you join the waitlist, your email address is stored solely to send you a launch note, and removed on request.
Support email
If you email support, we use what you send only to help you, and we'll delete the thread on request. The app never attaches anything automatically — you choose every word.
