You choose whether to share your name and profile photo. Reptiles enabled in your existing public Dogam collection also appear in Lounge. Recording remains available without sharing.
1. Optional information and purposes
We store the display name you enter and the profile photo you select to show your account profile. Lounge displays animal details and the primary photo already allowed by existing public settings. We store the current keeper’s selected card material, pattern, decoration and earned-theme appearance to display their card design. Saved animal identifiers and saved states provide your private interest list. Account identifiers and operation times support access checks, retries and error handling.
Only you can view your saved list. Saving or introducing a reptile does not increase Breeder Pass experience.
2. Choose whether to share your name and photo
Name and photo sharing is off by default. Uploading a photo or saving a name does not make it visible to other people. When enabled, your name and profile photo may appear in authorized Lounge profiles and your existing public collection or public Breeder Pass.
A reptile appearing in Lounge does not by itself make your profile photo public to signed-out visitors. Web display also requires name and photo sharing and the existing public collection or Breeder Pass conditions. Handle visibility and Breeder Pass level publication follow their own settings. Sharing a name or photo does not publish private reflections or your complete care history.
3. Public collection settings and Lounge
Lounge lets signed-in users discover reptiles enabled by their current keeper in the existing public Dogam collection, without separate introduction registration. Viewers receive the already-public primary photo, basic details, permitted keeper identity and card appearance. Reptiles without a primary photo use a placeholder; other historical photos and private records are not published instead.
Turning off collection visibility removes the reptile from your public collection and Lounge. A separately shared reptile page follows its existing publication setting. New image requests recheck access after public sharing is withdrawn, ownership changes, or a block changes access. Dogam cannot retrieve an image or screenshot another person has already saved.
4. Image processing and access
Only the profile photo you choose is uploaded. The server corrects orientation, crops it to a square and stores a JPEG no larger than 512 pixels, removing EXIF and other metadata that may contain location information. We do not collect your address book or your entire unselected photo library.
Lounge and profile images are stored privately and served after checking current access on each request. We do not issue long-lived Lounge image-sharing URLs. Existing private animal-photo URLs, valid for up to five minutes, are a separate feature; these choices do not broaden their visibility.
5. Changes, deletion and retention
Profile editing lets you change or clear your name and replace or remove your photo. You can turn off name and photo sharing or existing public collection visibility, unsave a reptile, and change or reset its card appearance. Images no longer attached to a current profile become eligible for cleanup after 24 hours from upload; failed cleanup is retried.
Account deletion closes access and uses the existing deletion process to remove profile, image and saved-interest data. Cleanup may retry work still pending or affected by an error. See the privacy policy for processors, international processing, your rights and support contacts.
