AnimalTrace
Data ownership & sharing

Your animal records should create value without taking control away from you.

AnimalTrace separates control of an account and its sharing choices from authority over an issued fact. That distinction keeps records useful without rewriting where the evidence came from.

The core distinction

You control the account. The source remains the source.

An owner can manage an animal record and decide how it is shared. A laboratory still owns the authority of its issued result, and a registry still governs its official record.

Account control

Manage animals, upload records, review extracted findings, organize evidence, and decide which active shares remain available.

Source authority

AnimalTrace preserves who issued a report or made an official decision. Importing a document does not transfer or invent authority.

Purposeful sharing

Share a focused Passport or report view for a defined recipient and purpose instead of exposing the entire account.

Data rights

Access, correction, export, and deletion need an honest boundary.

What you can request

Account holders can request access to their data, correct account-supplied information, export supported records, and request deletion through the applicable account and support workflows.

What may need to remain

Legal obligations, fraud prevention, security, source integrity, and audit requirements may require limited records to be retained. Revoking a share stops future access but does not falsify the historical record.

Report rescue

Uploading an old report does not erase its origin.

Client accounts can rescue DNA, health, pedigree, and registry documents. AnimalTrace preserves the original artifact and issuer context, proposes structured information for review, and records the resulting review state.
