Holycat Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Holycat ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application ("App") available on the Apple App Store.

By downloading, installing, or using Holycat, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Information We Collect

3. How We Use Your Information

We use information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the App’s functionality
• Display your daily verse, prayers, affirmations, and streaks inside the App
• Provide reminders and notifications (only if you enable them)
• Respond to support requests and inquiries
• Analyze crashes/performance to improve stability (if diagnostics are enabled)
• Comply with legal obligations
• Power the AI faith chat using only the name and mood you provide for that session (stored locally; auto-deleted after two days)
• Generate on-demand mental wellbeing reports from on-device data when you request them, without retaining that data after the report is produced
• Provide access to licensed meditational music within the App
• Measure app installs, usage, subscription purchases, and ad campaign performance through Firebase Analytics and Meta App Events

4. Data Storage and Security

5. Third-Party Analytics & Advertising

Holycat uses third-party analytics and advertising partners to understand how the App is used, measure marketing campaigns, and track subscription conversions. We share data with these partners for analytics and advertising measurement; we do not sell your personal information to third parties for money.

6. App Tracking Transparency (ATT)

During onboarding, iOS may ask whether Holycat can track your activity across other companies' apps and websites. This prompt is Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature.

• If you tap Allow: Meta may use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) for ad measurement and campaign attribution.
• If you tap Don't Allow: We still collect limited analytics (aggregated usage and, where available, Apple's SKAdNetwork for ad measurement). Ad measurement will be less personalized.

You can change this choice at any time: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking. This website policy matches the spirit of the tracking permission text shown in the App.

7. Subscriptions & Payments

Holycat subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles all payment card and billing information. We do not receive or store your payment card numbers.

When you purchase or renew a subscription, Holycat receives purchase confirmation from Apple (via StoreKit)—such as product ID, transaction status, and subscription period. We may send subscription purchase events to Firebase Analytics and Meta App Events for analytics and ad measurement (product ID, amount, and currency only—not card details).

To cancel a subscription, open Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone, or manage subscriptions in the App Store app.

8. Children's Privacy & Spiritual Content

Holycat is intended for a general audience aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, please contact us.

Holycat includes spiritual and religious content—such as daily verses, prayers, and faith-based AI chat—that you choose during setup or in the App. Your religion or faith preference is used only to personalize your experience inside the App. It is not used to sell your data or shared with Meta or Firebase for advertising purposes.

9. Your Rights and Choices

You have the following rights and controls regarding your information:

• Opt out of tracking: Limit or disable app tracking in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking
• Access: Request access to any personal information we may hold (note: most data is stored locally on your device)
• Correction: Update or correct your personal information directly within the App
• Deletion: Delete your personal information by removing entries within the App or uninstalling the App. To request deletion of any data we may hold (such as support correspondence), email us at privacy@tryholycat.com
• Control permissions: Enable or disable notifications, HealthKit, camera, microphone, Screen Time, and other permissions in iOS Settings
• Cancel subscription: Manage or cancel your subscription in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone

Since your personal content is stored locally on your device, you have full control over it. You can delete any information at any time by removing it from the App or uninstalling the App.

10. Data Retention

Local Data: Your personal information is retained on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App. We do not retain this information on our servers.

AI Chat: Chat messages are stored only on your device and are automatically removed after two (2) days. You may also clear chats sooner within the App where supported.

Mental Wellbeing Reports: Data used to generate a report is processed only when you request a report and is not stored by us after that request completes.

Analytics Data: Analytics and measurement data shared with Firebase and Meta is retained according to those partners' policies and is not linked to your on-device journal, prayers, or mood content.

If you contact support, we may retain communications for as long as needed to resolve your request and for legal or operational reasons.

11. International Data Transfers

Since your personal information is stored locally on your device, it is not transferred internationally.

However, analytics and measurement data shared with Google Firebase Analytics and Meta App Events may be processed in countries other than your country of residence. This data does not include your on-device journal, prayers, mood entries, or other personal content.

12. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information.

We do not sell personal information. Your on-device personal content is stored locally and is not sold. We share limited analytics data with Firebase and Meta for measurement as described in Section 5, which is not a sale of personal information for money.

13. European Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since your personal information is stored locally on your device, you have direct control over it. You can access, modify, or delete your information at any time through the App.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted.

15. App Store Requirements

• Transparency about data collection and use

• Information about third-party analytics partners (Google Firebase Analytics, Meta App Events), ATT/IDFA, and what data is shared
