Privacy policy — Skitten
Last updated: October 9, 2026
This page is a translation of the French original. In case of discrepancy, the French version prevails.
At a glance
- No account, no ads, no analytics, no trackers.
- Your cats' profiles, your play sessions and your photos stay on your device. The publisher never has access to them.
- Photos of your cat never leave your phone, unless you choose to share them.
- The game works entirely offline. Only the purchase of Skitten Premium uses the Internet.
1. Data controller
The Skitten app is published by Boris Gazel, a sole proprietor (entrepreneur individuel) trading under the name Asteria Tech (SIREN 107 071 755), who is the data controller.
Contact: contact+skitten@asteriatech.fr. See also the Skitten legal notice.
2. Data stored only on your device
The app stores the following in its private storage:
- your cats' profiles: name and photo, if you add one;
- your play history: duration, paw swipes, catches, playfield used;
- your settings;
- photos taken during play sessions, if you have enabled “Session photos”.
This data is never sent to the publisher or to anyone else. It is not backed up to the cloud: Android automatic backup is disabled for Skitten. You can delete it from within the app, and all of it is erased when you uninstall Skitten.
3. Camera and photos
- Profile photo: you choose it with the Android photo picker. The app only receives the photo you select, with no access to the rest of your gallery, and keeps a copy in its private storage.
- Session photos: an optional feature. Camera permission is only requested when you turn it on. The front camera only runs during a play session, and images are analyzed directly on the device to keep the best moments. No image is ever sent over the Internet.
- You can turn this feature off or revoke the permission at any time, in the app or in Android settings.
4. Sharing and saving
Nothing is shared without your action.
- Share opens the Android share sheet. You choose the app and the recipient. The photo carries a discreet watermark and comes with a short text including the Skitten link on Google Play. It contains neither your cat's name nor the session details. The link includes a marker indicating that it comes from a share, with no information about you: it only lets the publisher count visits coming from shares, in aggregate.
- Save (after a play session) and Download (from the in-app gallery) save the photo to your phone's gallery, in the Pictures/Skitten folder.
Once shared or saved, the photo is subject to the app or service you chose.
5. Purchasing Skitten Premium
This is the only processing that sends data off your device.
Google Play processes the payment. The publisher never has access to your name, email address or banking details. This processing is governed by Google's privacy policy.
RevenueCat, Inc. (United States), our service provider, verifies the purchase and allows it to be restored:
| Data | A random anonymous identifier generated by the app; purchase history (product, date, Google Play purchase token); technical request data (IP address, device model and OS version, app version, store country) |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Verify that the purchase is genuine, unlock Premium and restore it after a reinstall or a change of device |
| Legal basis | Performance of the purchase contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) |
| Retention period | As long as the purchase must remain restorable, or until you request deletion |
| Transfer outside the EU | Data is processed in the United States, under the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission |
RevenueCat's optional automatic collection of device identifiers is disabled. RevenueCat's privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy.
6. What we don't do
- No advertising, neither in the free version nor in Premium.
- No analytics tools, no trackers, no advertising identifier.
- No selling or renting of data.
- No profiling and no automated decision-making about you.
- No access to the microphone or location.
7. Android permissions
| Permission | Why | When |
|---|---|---|
| Camera | Session photos | Only if you turn the feature on |
| Internet, network state | Purchasing and restoring Premium | During purchase or verification |
| Google Play billing | Purchasing Premium | During purchase |
| “Do Not Disturb” access | Silence notifications during a play session | Never requested: the app only checks whether you have granted it yourself |
8. Security
Your data stays in the app's private storage, which no other app can read. Exchanges with Google Play and RevenueCat are encrypted (HTTPS).
9. Children
Skitten is intended for adult cat owners. It does not knowingly collect any data about children.
10. Your rights
Under the GDPR and the French Data Protection Act (loi « Informatique et Libertés »), you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, object to the processing of, and port your data.
- Data on your device: you keep full control over it. Delete it in the app, or uninstall the app.
- Purchase data held by RevenueCat: write to contact+skitten@asteriatech.fr. As the publisher holds no data that directly identifies you, you may be asked for your Google Play proof of purchase (order number starting with “GPA.”) to find the matching record.
If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL (the French data protection authority, cnil.fr) or with the data protection authority of your country of residence.
11. Changes
This policy may change as the app evolves. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of this page. Any significant change, such as a new type of data being transmitted, will be announced in the app.
