Information We Collect

Anonymous Authentication

CatchCat uses Firebase Anonymous Authentication to create a unique anonymous identifier that allows the App to function properly.

This identifier is not linked to your name, email address, phone number, or other directly identifying personal information.

Photos and User Content

When you take, upload, or submit photos through the App, those photos may be uploaded to and stored on our servers to provide the App’s functionality.

Photos may be used to:

• Save captured cats.

• Maintain your collection and progress.

• Synchronize app data.

• Display captured cats on the map when location features are enabled.

Photos may be associated with your anonymous Firebase identifier.

We do not use uploaded photos to identify you personally, and we do not sell your photos to third parties.

Please do not upload photos containing sensitive personal information, confidential documents, or content that infringes the rights of others.

Location Information

The App may request access to your device’s location.

Location information is used solely to:
