Privacy Policy

Last updated 14 July 2026

CatchCities ("we") is a location-based city exploration game. This policy explains what we collect and why. In short: we collect the minimum needed to run the game, and we never sell your data.

What we collect

• Location — used to check whether you're close enough (about 75 metres) to catch a place. Location is used to power the game; we don't build advertising profiles from it.
• Account — if you sign in with Google, we store a basic profile (name, email, avatar) to save your progress across devices.
• Gameplay — the places you catch, streaks, points, badges, trips and any photos or ratings you choose to add.
• Basic analytics — anonymous usage stats to improve the app.

How we use it

To run catching mechanics, save your progress, show leaderboards, and improve the product. Custom AI audio guides and the concierge send your request to our AI providers to generate a response; they aren't used to identify you.

Where it's stored

Account and gameplay data is stored with our backend provider (Supabase). Payments for Pro are processed by Stripe — we never see or store your full card details.

Sharing

We don't sell your personal data. We share data only with the service providers needed to run CatchCities (hosting, database, payments, AI generation) and where required by law.

Your choices

You can export or delete your data from within the app's account screen, or by emailing us. You can revoke location access at any time in your browser or device settings (catching won't work without it).
