This Privacy Policy is incorporated into Wonderdog’s Terms and Conditions and outlines our privacy practices in connection with your use of our website, mobile application, and any related services (together, the “Website” or “Service”).
This Privacy Policy explains how Wonderdog Health, Inc. (“Wonder Dog,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses personal information. It applies only to the Service and where we control data collection and use. It does not apply to any third-party websites, actions, or offers (together, “Third-Party Services”), regardless of links or connections through the Website. We do not control Third-Party Services, which have separate privacy practices.
Our Service provides longitudinal canine preventive health services, including blood biomarker testing, AI-driven health analysis, telehealth veterinary consultations (via licensed Televets), and at-home veterinary technician visits. We collect and use information primarily to deliver and improve the Service, build your pet’s longitudinal health profile, and communicate with you. We care about member privacy and employ measures for data security and to respond to consumer privacy requests.
When Do We Collect Your Information?
We collect personal information when you provide it to us — for example, when you visit our Website, create a member account, schedule an Appointment, complete our intake form, or communicate with our team. We also collect information when you interact with a Televet or Vet Tech during an Appointment, including information generated as part of the clinical encounter.
Like many websites, we obtain technical and device information automatically when you visit or use the Website. We may also collect information from content you make public outside of the Website, such as when you contact us through social media or tag Wonderdog in a post. Information collected off the Website may be combined with information collected through the Website.
What Categories of Information Do We Collect?
We collect information relevant to delivering and improving the Service. This may include the following categories:
Identifying and Contact Information, such as your name, email address, mailing address, and phone number, which are used for identification, member services, appointment coordination, and communications.
Pet Information, such as your pet’s name, species, breed, age, sex, weight, reproductive status, current medications, known health conditions, behavioral history, and vaccination records, used to deliver the Service, generate Diagnostic Results, and build your pet’s longitudinal health profile.
Pet Health and Diagnostic Data, such as blood biomarker results, AI-generated health analyses, longitudinal trend data, Televet consultation notes, Vet Tech physical observation records, and any other clinical data generated through the Service (collectively, “Pet Health Data”). Pet Health Data is used to provide Diagnostic Results, support clinical decision-making by our Televets, train and improve our AI diagnostic models, and advance Wonderdog’s research and development. Please refer to the Health Data and Ownership section of our Terms and Conditions for a full explanation of how Pet Health Data is owned and licensed.
Important note on data ownership: As described in Wonderdog’s Terms and Conditions, there is a meaningful distinction between two categories of health-related data. First, “Platform Data” — which includes aggregate biomarker results, AI-generated analyses, longitudinal trend data, and population-level data derived from member pets — is assigned to and owned exclusively by Wonderdog Health, Inc. Second, “Pet Health Information” — which includes individually identifiable data such as your pet’s name, breed, age, and individually identifiable biomarker results — remains personal to you; Wonderdog does not claim ownership of Pet Health Information but holds an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to use it to deliver and improve the Service. You retain the right to request a copy of your pet’s Pet Health Information and clinical records at any time. See the “Your Rights Regarding Pet Health Data” section below for details.
Audio and Visual Data, such as photographs or video recordings of you and/or your pet taken during an Appointment or provided by you in connection with the Service.
Commercial and Transactional Information, such as records of Membership purchases, Appointment bookings, supplement orders, and payment information. Wonderdog uses a third-party payment processor for credit card transactions and does not store full payment card details on its servers. The payment processor’s Privacy Policy is available here.
Background Information, if you apply for a position with Wonderdog, including employment or contractor-related information provided in your application, used for HR and contractor management purposes. Background Information collected in the context of employment or contractor applications is maintained separately from member and Pet Health Data and is not used to deliver or improve the Service or for any purpose unrelated to the hiring or contractor engagement process.
Technical Information, such as device, internet, and network information, including data from cookies and related technologies, browsing and search history related to the Service, interactions with the Website, and geolocation information derived from your device IP address.
Sensitive Personal Information, which under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) includes Pet Health and Diagnostic Data, precise geolocation data, and certain background information provided in a job application. Wonderdog collects and uses Sensitive Personal Information only to the extent necessary to deliver the Service, fulfill legal obligations, or as otherwise permitted by applicable law. California residents and residents of certain other jurisdictions have the right to limit Wonderdog’s use of Sensitive Personal Information to purposes necessary to perform the Service. See the California and Other Jurisdictions’ Privacy Rights section below for instructions on how to exercise this right.
Other Information, such as your communications to us, participation in promotions or referral programs, and non-personalized data such as aggregate or de-identified data used to evaluate the Service. If you interact with us on social media, we may collect related information disclosed to us through those platforms, and we may combine this information with information obtained through the Website.
How Is Your Information Used?
We use information to provide and improve the Service, support clinical care, personalize your member experience, and conduct relevant marketing. Specifically, we may use your information for the following purposes:
Providing the Service: To operate the Website, deliver Appointments, generate Diagnostic Results and longitudinal health reports, facilitate Televet consultations, coordinate Vet Tech visits, and provide member support.
Building Your Pet’s Health Profile: To create and maintain a longitudinal record of your pet’s biomarker trends over time, which is the core value of the Wonderdog Service.
AI Model Training and Development: To improve Wonderdog’s AI diagnostic algorithms, refine biomarker reference ranges, and develop new predictive health tools, using de-identified or aggregated Pet Health Data. Before any Pet Health Data is used for AI model training, it undergoes a de-identification process designed to satisfy the requirements of applicable law, including technical safeguards that prohibit re-identification, business processes that prevent inadvertent release of de-identified information, and restrictions ensuring that de-identified data is not used for purposes incompatible with those described in this Privacy Policy. The scope of biomarker data collected for each pet is determined by the ordering licensed veterinarian exercising independent clinical judgment and is reasonably necessary and proportionate to delivering Wonderdog’s longitudinal preventive health service. Wonderdog conducts internal assessments of its data processing activities involving Pet Health Data in accordance with applicable law. See our Terms and Conditions for details on data ownership and de-identification.
Improving the Service: To evaluate features, identify areas for improvement, and develop new Service offerings.
Personalizing the Service: Such as by using cookies or other technologies to save certain data so you do not need to re-enter it, and to tailor content to your pet’s profile.
Communications: To respond to your requests, deliver Appointment confirmations and health result notifications, and send legal or account-related communications.
Marketing: To share relevant content and promotions with you using your contact information, or to deliver targeted digital media advertisements. If you provide your email or sign up on our Website, we may send you promotional emails. If you agree to receive calls or texts, we may use your phone number for Appointment updates or marketing messages you have opted into.
Security and Auditing: To detect security incidents, protect against fraudulent or illegal activity, authenticate requests, and take action where applicable.
Legal Compliance: To comply with court orders, subpoenas, applicable veterinary practice acts, mandatory reporting obligations (such as animal bite reporting), and other legal requirements.
Research and Publication: To conduct or support research on canine preventive health using de-identified or aggregated data, which may be published or shared with academic or industry partners.
How Is Your Information Disclosed to Others?
We disclose information for the same business and commercial reasons we collect and use it. Specifically, we may disclose information under the following circumstances:
To Service Providers and Contractors, such as laboratory partners (including IDEXX Laboratories and Antech Diagnostics), cloud hosting providers, customer support platforms, payment processors, and other vendors who assist us in delivering the Service. These parties access information only to the extent necessary to perform their functions and are subject to confidentiality obligations. Wonderdog may also use third-party cloud computing and machine learning infrastructure providers to host, train, and deploy its AI diagnostic models. These providers may process de-identified or aggregated Pet Health Data as part of delivering their services to Wonderdog. Such providers are bound by contractual obligations regarding data security and confidentiality and are prohibited from using Wonderdog data to train their own AI models or for any purpose other than performing services on behalf of Wonderdog.
To Telehealth and Clinical Partners, such as licensed Televets and Vet Techs affiliated with Wonderdog’s professional corporation partners who require access to your pet’s health information to deliver clinical services. Clinical records may be shared among the treating Televet, the supervising professional corporation, and Wonderdog’s MSO infrastructure as necessary to coordinate care.
To Veterinary and Healthcare Providers, as necessary in the event your pet requires emergency care, follow-up treatment, or specialist referral. We may disclose relevant Pet Health Data to outside veterinarians or healthcare providers to facilitate continuity of care, with your consent where required by applicable law.
To Legal Parties, who may require disclosure of data as authorized by applicable law in response to a subpoena, court order, or other legal process. We may also disclose information if we believe it is necessary to prevent or remedy illegal or harmful misconduct. Where required by state or local law, we may report certain incidents involving your pet (such as bites or injuries) to relevant authorities, including animal control.
To Marketing Partners and Advertisers, such as digital advertising platforms and analytics providers (including, without limitation, Google and Meta), who may receive device identifiers, cookie data, and other technical information — but not Pet Health Data or Sensitive Personal Information — for the purpose of delivering personalized advertisements that may be of interest to you. Wonderdog does not disclose your pet’s biomarker results, Diagnostic Results, or individually identifiable Pet Health Data to advertising partners for marketing purposes. Certain disclosures of technical information through cookies and similar tracking technologies may constitute “selling” or “sharing” under applicable state privacy laws. California residents and residents of other states with applicable opt-out rights may opt out of such practices as described in the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” section below, or by contacting us at legal@wonder.dog.
To Third Parties or the Public, if the information is public — such as a review posted about us online — or if it cannot reasonably identify or be linked to you, such as aggregate data used to evaluate the Service.
To Related Parties in a Transaction, if Wonderdog is involved in an acquisition, merger, financing, sale, or similar transaction, we may disclose, transfer, or assign your information to the relevant parties, subject to standard confidentiality protections.
For Data Selling or Sharing, certain transfers of data through cookies and similar technologies may be considered data selling or sharing under applicable state privacy laws. You may opt out of such practices by using available links on our Website or by contacting us as outlined below.
To Others due to your request or consent, and as authorized by law. For example, if you use our referral feature, the member who referred you may receive a notification that their code was used, while limiting the personal data shared.
Do We Use Cookies or Automated Technologies?
We, like many websites, may use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar technologies to automatically collect certain device, internet, browser, and geolocation information when you use the Website. Collected data may include mobile device identifiers, ISP or carrier information, date and time of access, pages visited, and whether you click on certain content or advertisements.

The Website does not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) requests.
Do We Collect Information About Children?
We do not knowingly collect personal information about children under the age of 13. If we obtain actual knowledge that we have collected personal information about a child under the age of 13, we will delete that information promptly.
The Service is intended solely for use by individuals who are at least eighteen (18) years of age. Wonderdog does not direct the Service at children and does not knowingly allow minors to create accounts or use the Service. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to Wonderdog without your consent, please contact us at legal@wonder.dog and we will promptly delete such information. If you are under 18, please do not use the Service or submit any information to us.
This is not intended to be an admission that we are subject to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, the Federal Trade Commission’s Children’s Online Privacy Protection Rule(s), or any similar international, federal, state, or local laws, rules, or regulations.
How Is Your Information Protected and Retained?
Wonderdog is based in the United States, and the Service is operated from and data is stored in the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country of residence. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. Wonder Dog applies the same data protection standards described in this Privacy Policy to all personal information regardless of where it is processed. If you are located outside the United States and have questions about international data transfers, please contact us at legal@wonder.dog. Wonderdog uses commercially reasonable technical and organizational security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or loss. However, no system or website can be 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You should not assume that information communicated using our Service or the internet generally will be fully secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security and confidentiality of your account credentials and should immediately notify us if you believe there has been a security breach.
Data Security Program
In accordance with applicable state data security laws, Wonderdog maintains a reasonable data security program that includes:
Administrative safeguards, such as designating employees responsible for the security program, conducting risk assessments, training personnel on data security practices, and selecting service providers capable of maintaining appropriate security measures.
Technical safeguards, such as encryption of personal information in transit and at rest, access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel, monitoring systems to detect unauthorized access or anomalous activity, and secure software development practices.
Physical safeguards, such as secure facilities and infrastructure for data storage, disposal procedures for physical records containing personal information, and controls on physical access to systems that store member and pet health data.
Wonderdog reviews and updates its security program on an ongoing basis to address new and evolving risks.
Breach Notification
In the event of a security breach that compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your personal information, Wonderdog will notify affected members in accordance with applicable state breach notification laws.
Specifically:
Timing: We will notify affected members without unreasonable delay, and in any event within the timeframes required by applicable law in the member’s state of residence, generally within 45 days of discovery unless a shorter period is required by applicable law.
Method: We will notify you by email to the address associated with your Wonderdog account, or by written notice if email is not available. In the event of a breach affecting a large number of members, we may supplement direct notice with a prominent notice on our Website.
Content: Breach notifications will describe the nature of the breach, the categories of information affected, the steps Wonderdog has taken to address and remediate the breach, and the steps you can take to protect yourself.
Regulatory Reporting: Where required by applicable law, Wonderdog will notify relevant state attorneys general and other applicable regulatory authorities of a breach affecting residents of their respective states.
Automated Decision-Making and AI Diagnostics
Wonderdog uses artificial intelligence and machine learning models to analyze your pet’s blood biomarker results and generate health trend reports and risk flags. It is important that you understand how this technology works and its limitations:
What the AI does: Wonderdog’s AI models compare your pet’s biomarker results against population-based reference ranges, your pet’s own longitudinal baseline, and pattern libraries developed from de-identified pet health data. The AI generates Diagnostic Results that may flag individual biomarkers as elevated, low, or within range, and may identify trends or patterns that warrant clinical attention.
What the AI does not do: The AI does not make final clinical decisions, diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or operate autonomously without licensed veterinary oversight. All AI-generated flags and analyses are reviewed by a licensed Televet before being communicated to members as part of a clinical consultation.
Televet review: Every Diagnostic Result that includes an AI-generated risk flag or recommendation is reviewed by a Wonderdog-affiliated licensed veterinarian (Televet) prior to delivery. The Televet exercises independent clinical judgment and may modify, contextualize, or override any AI-generated finding.
Your right to opt out: Wonderdog provides you with the ability to opt out of having your pet’s data processed by our AI diagnostic models as a matter of company policy and our commitment to transparency, even where not required by applicable law. If you wish to exercise this option, contact us at legal@wonder.dog with the subject line “Opt Out of AI Processing.” Please be aware that because AI-driven analysis is integral to the generation of Diagnostic Results and longitudinal health trend reports, opting out of AI processing will affect Wonderdog’s ability to deliver these features of the Service. If you opt out, your pet’s blood biomarker results will still be processed by our laboratory partners, but the AI-generated trend analysis, risk flagging, and predictive health insights will not be available to your pet’s reports.
We retain different categories of information for different periods, based on the nature of the data, our business needs, and applicable legal requirements:
Identifying and Contact Information: Retained for the duration of your active Membership and for up to three (3) years following account closure, or longer if required to resolve a dispute or comply with a legal obligation.
Pet Health and Diagnostic Data: Retained for the duration of your active Membership and for a minimum of three (3) years following account closure to support longitudinal health trend analysis and to fulfill veterinary recordkeeping obligations under applicable state law. De-identified or aggregated Pet Health Data derived from your records may be retained indefinitely for research and AI model development purposes. Please note that if your pet’s de-identified data has been used to train Wonderdog’s AI models prior to a deletion or opt-out request, the statistical patterns derived from that data may be embedded in the model’s learned parameters and cannot be individually extracted or deleted from a trained model. Upon receipt of a valid deletion or opt-out request, Wonderdog will delete or de-identify all identifiable records of your pet’s data from its active databases, exclude your pet’s data from all future AI model training cycles, and use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate your deletion preference into the next scheduled model retraining cycle.
Clinical Records: Retained in accordance with the veterinary practice act of the state in which the treating Televet is licensed, which typically requires a minimum of three (3) to five (5) years. Wonderdog will comply with the longest applicable retention period across its active operating states.
Commercial and Transactional Information: Retained for a minimum of five (5) years following the transaction date to satisfy tax, accounting, and legal compliance obligations.
Technical and Cookie Data: Retained for up to two (2) years, or shorter periods as required by applicable law or cookie consent frameworks.
Background and Job Application Information: Retained for up to two (2) years following the conclusion of a hiring or contractor onboarding process, or longer if required by applicable employment law.
Where we are required by applicable law to retain information for a longer period, or where retention is necessary to protect Wonderdog’s legal interests, we will retain information accordingly. When retention periods expire, we will delete or de-identify the relevant information in accordance with our internal data management procedures.
