Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 11, 2026

🔒 Summary: Cat Yes No is built with a privacy-first mindset. While Google AdMob is used to display ads in the iOS mobile app, the web version is ad-free. We do not require accounts, track location, or save your decision logs to external servers.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the Cat Yes No mobile application for iOS and iPadOS, as well as the web application accessible at https://catyesno.com and https://catyesno.com/play. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it.

2. Information Collection & Usage

Cat Yes No does not collect any personal data.

  • No User Registration: You do not need to create an account or provide an email address to use the app.
  • No Location Tracking: We do not request or track your GPS or physical location.
  • No Question Logging: Questions you ask the Cat Council are processed instantaneously in memory on your local device and are never sent to external servers.

3. On-Device Storage & LocalStorage

To provide features like decision history logs and preference settings (such as audio volume or active cat personality modes), Cat Yes No utilizes local storage:

  • iOS App: Uses Apple’s native UserDefaults stored encrypted on your iPhone.
  • Web App (/play): Uses HTML5 localStorage within your browser. You can clear this data anytime by clearing your browser cache or clicking "Clear Log".

4. Third-Party Services & Analytics

To help support development, the Cat Yes No iOS mobile app utilizes Google AdMob:

  • Google AdMob (iOS App): Used to display advertisements within the iOS mobile application.

The web application (catyesno.com) does not serve any advertisements or use Google AdSense. AdMob on iOS may use device identifiers and technologies in compliance with Apple's privacy guidelines. For more information, please review Google's Partner Sites Privacy Policy.

5. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Cat Yes No is suitable for all ages and complies with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or anyone else.

6. Security

Because all application logic runs locally on your device without transmitting data over external servers, your decision queries remain entirely private to you.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date".
