3.6 Symptom Checker Processing
When you submit information through the Symptom Checker, a trained member of the My Feline team reviews your responses and uses AI tools, combined with peer-reviewed veterinary research, to analyse symptoms and identify potential conditions. This human-supervised approach ensures the analysis appropriately considers the specific details you have provided before any results are shared with you.
The suggestions generated are informational only and do not constitute a diagnosis or veterinary advice. The final decision about your cat's care always remains with you and your veterinarian.
3.7 Marketing Communications
We will only send you marketing communications if you have opted in to receive them. As an existing user, we may send you information about similar products and services (such as new app features) under the "soft opt-in" provisions of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. You can opt out of marketing at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email, adjusting your notification preferences in the app, or contacting us directly. Opting out of marketing will not affect service-related communications such as password resets, security alerts, or important account notifications.

Push notifications require your explicit permission through your device's operating system. You can manage notification preferences at any time in the app's Settings or through your device settings. We use notifications to send vaccination reminders, medication alerts, and updates about new Library content based on your preferences.
