Privacy & how it works

Creaturecare on the web is built the same way as our iOS apps: private by design, and gentle about animals.

Every animal gets better

Creaturecare is about helping animals recover. Every case is framed around noticing what’s wrong, choosing the right care, and watching the animal heal — never about an animal being hurt. A wrong guess is fine: you get a hint, then the round moves on. Mistakes are how vets learn too.

The labs run right here

The Diagnosis Lab and the Care & Recovery Lab are pure on-device logic — the same 12 veterinary cases as the iOS app, each with a fixed chain of clues, diagnosis, treatment and recovery. There’s no server, no simulator in the cloud, and no AI that sees what you do. You predict the diagnosis first, then the lab shows you the real answer and why.

Everything stays on this device

Your progress — best scores, XP and streak — is stored only in this browser (on-device storage). It is never sent anywhere. Clear your browser data and it’s gone; nobody else can see it. There’s no sign-up, no login, no ads, no in-app purchases and no third-party trackers.

Built for ages 9–14

The 400 concept questions come straight from the Creaturecare iOS project and are aligned to NGSS animal-science standards. A hint appears only after a first try — you think it through first. The iOS app also has features that need a phone — hands-on surgery mini-games, a camera animal-scan and an AI vet mentor — that stay on iOS; the web version focuses on the diagnostic reasoning and the care decisions.

If real life feels heavy

Caring about animals can bring up big feelings, especially if a pet in your own life is sick. It always helps to talk to a grown-up you trust. If you or someone you know needs support, these free lines are always open in the US: call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or call Childhelp at 1-800-422-4453.
