Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect information in these ways:

• Account information you provide, such as email, password, profile details, photos, and preferences.
• Daily video answers you record, including audio, video, auto-generated captions, and related metadata.
• Usage information, such as feed views, follows, chat messages, reports, and notification settings.
• Device and app information, such as device type, app version, and the time zone you set in the app for daily questions.
• Crash reports from the installed app, including the device type, operating system, app version, and the technical trace of what the app was doing when it closed unexpectedly.
• Location information you choose to add to your profile (for example city or coordinates used for distance in the feed).
• Website launch signups: if you join our email list from the marketing site, we store the email address you submit.
• Communications with us, including support requests.

How we use information

We use your information to operate and improve Cats or Dogs?, including showing you the daily question, building your feed, enabling chats, enforcing our Community Guidelines, and sending notifications you allow.

We use moderation signals (such as community reports) and human review to keep the service safe. When content is flagged, we may hide a specific video while keeping your account active, and we may notify you with next steps.

We may send service emails (for example sign-up confirmation or account notices). You can control many in-app notification types in Settings.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as needed to run the service, comply with law, or protect safety:

• Service providers that help us host data, deliver video, send email, operate infrastructure, and collect crash reports (under contracts that limit their use of your data). Crash reports go to Sentry. They do not include your email, messages, photos, or videos.
• Other users, as you choose through the product (for example profile fields you show, video answers in the feed, and messages with other users).
• We do not show other users who follows them; follower identities are not disclosed through the app.
• Authorities or others when required by law or to protect rights, safety, and integrity of the service.

Video and media

Your recordings are processed to play in the app, generate captions, and apply safety review. Video files are stored with our video hosting partners. When you delete your account, we delete profile content, videos, and chats as described in the app.

Retention

We keep your information while your account is active and as needed to provide the service. If you delete your account, we remove your profile, photos, videos and chats. Some moderation records may be retained in anonymized form so we can show that a report was handled, consistent with our product rules and legal obligations.

Your choices

You can:

• Update profile and notification settings in the app.
• Turn off followers in Privacy & Safety.
• Block or report other users from the feed, a chat message, or a profile.
• Delete your account at any time from Privacy & Safety (permanent, with no undo).
• Unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in those messages, if we send them.

Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Children

Cats or Dogs? is for adults. You must be at least 18 years old to use the app. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

International users

If you use the service from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where we or our providers operate.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
