Third-Party Services & Data Sources

Effective 2026-10-03 · Version 2026-10-03

PawQuest relies on outside services and data. We are not responsible for their terms, availability, accuracy, security, or transactions.

Maps and places

Map tiles and place data come from OpenStreetMap and related services (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Map data can be incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated.

Rescue data sources

Rescue listings may include OpenStreetMap data. A RescueGroups integration exists but is optional and inactive unless enabled. Petfinder is not integrated. Synchronization with PawPal HQ is planned but not active.

AI and moderation

OpenAI processes submitted text and images for moderation, and AI providers support PetMatch and photo checks.

Infrastructure

PawQuest runs on Lovable Cloud and its underlying hosting, database, authentication, and storage providers. Push notifications are delivered through your browser vendor's push service.

Outside links

Rescue, adoption, and donation links take you to third-party sites with their own terms and privacy practices. Transactions there are between you and that third party.
