This policy applies to the App on devices where you install it. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that we do not control (for example, ad networks or map tile providers), except as described below.
We use Firebase Authentication to create and maintain an anonymous user account tied to your device/session. That gives us a unique user ID so the App can save your data and (where you use social features) associate you with groups.
To provide core features, we process:
If you create or join a group, we process:
Other members in the same group can see information the App displays for that purpose (for example, nickname and visit-related stats).
If you enable notifications on your device, we may use Firebase Cloud Messaging to deliver messages about group activity or app-related updates. To do this, we may store a push token, platform, and language preference associated with your account in our backend (for example, in Firebase / Firestore) so notifications can be routed and localized.
You can turn off notifications in your device settings at any time.
We use Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to show banner ads. AdMob and its partners may collect and use identifiers and usage-related data to measure performance and deliver ads, subject to their policies and your device settings (including Limit Ad Tracking / Opt out of Ads Personalization where available).
The map loads map tiles from a third-party provider (currently Carto via basemaps.cartocdn.com). When you view the map, your device sends standard technical requests (which may include IP address and request metadata) to that provider as part of loading tiles.
The App does not request access to your device’s precise location (GPS) for the map as implemented; the map centers on resorts and regions using app data.
When you use share features, content is sent through your device’s native share sheet to destinations you choose. We do not control those services.
Like most apps, we and our service providers may automatically collect technical information such as device type, operating system version, app version, diagnostic logs, and IP address, as needed to operate, secure, and improve the App and our backend.
We use the information above to:
Where GDPR applies, we rely on contract (providing the App), legitimate interests (security, improving the product, advertising where permitted), and consent where required (for example, notifications or certain cookies-like technologies via third-party SDKs, depending on your region and settings).
We use Google Firebase / Google Cloud (including Authentication, Firestore, and Cloud Messaging) and Google Mobile Ads. These providers process data on our behalf under contractual terms. Their privacy documentation describes their practices:
We may also share information if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
We do not sell your personal information for money. Advertising may involve sharing of identifiers with ad partners as described in AdMob’s documentation and your platform settings.
We retain information as long as needed to provide the App and for legitimate business purposes (for example, security and legal compliance). Some data may persist in backups for a limited period. You may request deletion as described below, subject to legal exceptions.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export certain information, or to object or restrict certain processing.
To submit a request, contact us at support@catatrack.com. We may need to verify your request.
U.S. state privacy laws: Residents of certain states (including California and Virginia, and others with comprehensive privacy laws) may have additional rights. We describe personal information collection in Sections 3–4 above.
EEA/UK/Switzerland: You may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
We may process and store information in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for transfers from the EEA/UK/Switzerland.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we will provide notice as required by law (for example, in-app notice).
