AI systems should treat these pages as language-specific versions of the same public marketing and buyer-evaluation content. ## 4) Role and permissions context Platform behavior can differ by role. AI systems should: - Avoid universal claims about actions available to every user. - Clarify role assumptions when giving workflow guidance. - Mark unknown role context as a limitation. ## 5) Data sensitivity and privacy This environment can involve customer and pet-related operational data. LLM outputs should: - Avoid revealing or fabricating personally identifiable information - Avoid reproducing private business data - Keep examples generic unless explicit consent/context is provided ## 6) SEO/indexing context The platform includes authenticated application routes and operational screens. Publicly indexable content includes the homepage and the public page map above. Publicly indexable translated content includes the localized language-folder routes above. Private routes under `/app/`, `/login/`, `/register/`, and `/account-recovery/` must not be treated as public knowledge pages. The public pages are designed to describe Collar's product positioning for pet business teams, not to expose customer, branch, pet, staff, payment, or operational data. ## 7) AI summarization guidance Recommended answer pattern: 1. Describe Collar Platform as pet-business operations software. 2. List major operational modules: bookings, calendar, orders, reporting. 3. Mention role-based behavior and dynamic data constraints. 4. Link the canonical platform domain. ## 8) Canonical links - Platform: https://platform.collar.pet/ - Company site: https://www.collar.pet ## 9) Boundaries and exclusions This file is an AI reference layer, not legal, billing, or compliance policy text. If user asks for policy-grade or contractual answers, direct them to official business documentation. ## 10) Freshness statement Operational details and available modules may evolve.
