CatchGo Privacy Policy

Information we handle

Cat photos: cat detection and cut-outs happen entirely on your device. Cards you add to your collection are stored on this device by default.
Location: used only to record where you met a cat. We never send exact coordinates to our server, only the number of a roughly 500 m grid cell. You can hide any cat location.
Account (optional): if you sign in with Google we keep only the ID Google provides, not your email.
Notifications (optional): if you turn them on, we keep your device notification token and the grid cell numbers where you met cats.
Ads: Google AdMob shows ads using identifiers such as the advertising ID. Where required we show a consent message (UMP) first, and you can reset the advertising ID or turn off personalised ads in your device settings.

You can delete all collection data in Settings, and if you connected an account you can delete the account and server data.
Notification tokens stop being used when you turn notifications off or uninstall the app, and unused tokens are deleted.

To protect stray cats we never show other people an exact location. Location data embedded in photos (EXIF) is not stored.
You can report photos showing people or inappropriate content; cards reported by several people are hidden until reviewed.

Google ML Kit (on-device), Google AdMob, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Google Sign-In, and OpenStreetMap (loading map tiles may share your IP address and the map area you view).
