How AnimalTrace handles your records.
Where authority sits, what AI does and doesn't do, how sharing works, how we protect data, and what's available today.
AI
AI proposes. You confirm.
AnimalTrace uses AI to read the documents you upload. Document reading uses Anthropic's Claude models; the privacy policy explains how that data is processed.
What AI does
Reads uploaded documents and proposes animals, tests, results, dates, and identifiers, with anything it is unsure about marked.
What you do
Review what was read against the original and confirm or correct it. Nothing joins the record until you confirm it.
What AI doesn't do
It doesn't release lab results, decide registry outcomes, diagnose, or change your record on its own.
Your data
You control the account. The source stays the source.
You manage your animals and decide what you share. The lab or registry behind a fact keeps its authority over what it issued.
Sharing
You choose what goes into an Animal Passport, who it's for, and how long it lasts, and you can revoke it. Revoking stops access but keeps the fact that it was shared in the record's history.
Data requests
Ask for an export, a correction, or deletion of your data from your account. Our team completes each request. Some records may need to be kept for legal, security, or integrity reasons. How to ask.
Consent
Choose how your records can be used. For what other AnimalTrace users can see and how to change it, read the privacy policy.
Security
Controls first. Certifications only when earned.
We don't describe AnimalTrace as SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified, and we don't make blanket legal-compliance claims. We're happy to walk through current controls.
- Data is encrypted in transit, and production storage, files, and backups are protected at rest.
- Access is limited by account and organization, and is designed to fail closed when a required permission is missing.
- Sensitive actions are recorded with who acted, when, and what changed.
What works today
What you can use now, and what's still coming.
Availability can also depend on species, document quality, and the conditions set up for your species.
