CatTranslator ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information the CatTranslator app processes, how it is used, and what choices you have.
1. Information We Process
- Audio recordings you create in the app.
- Photos you select for cat mood analysis.
- Basic app usage and diagnostics data (for example, feature usage and app performance).
- Purchase/subscription status needed to unlock premium features.
- Support information you choose to send (for example, email feedback).
2. How We Use Information
We process information to:
- Provide app features (cat translation, mood analysis, saved recordings, reminders).
- Improve reliability, security, and performance.
- Verify purchases and manage premium access.
- Respond to support requests you initiate.
3. Audio and Photo Processing
- Recordings and saved conversation items are stored on your device when you choose to save them.
- For cloud cat translation, the app sends a text summary from on-device sound analysis (for example labels and confidence scores), not the raw audio file, to our service providers (for example Firebase relay and AI processing providers).
- For cloud mood analysis, your photo may be sent to those providers (for example as an encoded image) to produce a result; on-device mood analysis does not send your photo to our servers.
- We do not sell your personal information.
4. Third-Party Services
CatTranslator uses third-party services to operate core functionality, including:
- Firebase — authentication, cloud functions, analytics/infrastructure.
- RevenueCat — subscriptions and purchase entitlement management.
- Apple services — StoreKit purchases and in-app review prompt.
These providers process data under their own privacy terms.
5. Payments
All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not collect or store your payment card details.
6. Notifications
If you enable reminders, notification preferences (such as reminder time) are stored to deliver scheduled local notifications.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell or rent personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run app features, or when required by law.
8. Data Retention
- Content you save in the app remains on your device until you delete it.
- Some service-provider logs and analytics may be retained per provider policies for security, billing, and reliability.
9. Children's Privacy
CatTranslator is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
10. Your Choices
You can:
- Delete saved content from the app.
- Disable notifications in app settings or iOS settings.
- Manage subscriptions in your Apple ID subscription settings.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above.
