Catchfly helps you remember the people you meet. You control what you share, who can see it, the precision of your location, and whether Live Location is enabled. Have questions? Contact us at team@catchfly.link.
What we collect
- Account information: your email address and password.
- Profile information (optional): name, avatar, phone number, date of birth, sex, social media links, and public notes. Visibility settings are configurable.
- Connections and tags: the people you connect with and any tags you create.
- Private notes: notes you create within the app.
- Location data: the name of your location at a precision level you choose (country, region, or city). If you enable Live Location, the city you're currently in will be processed. We never collect raw GPS coordinates.
- Device permissions: camera access (for QR codes and avatars), photo/media access (for avatars), location access (for location labels and Live Location), and motion sensors (for the on-device "shake to contact support" feature).
- Essential logs and cache: basic server logs for security purposes and on-device caching to improve performance. You can clear the cache in your device settings.
How we use your information
- To provide and improve our features, including profiles, connections, map views, search functionality, and tags.
- To authenticate your account, secure the Service, and prevent abuse.
- To display your chosen location label and refresh it when Live Location is enabled.
- To respond to your support inquiries.
- To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.
How we share your information
We do not sell your data or share it for advertising purposes. We use the following service providers under contract to operate the Service:
- Supabase (hosting, database, storage, and authentication): stores all personal information mentioned in the What We Collect section.
- Stadia Maps (map tiles and styles): retrieves the map tiles needed to display your selected map area.
- Geoapify (geocoding and reverse-geocoding): provides location metadata and reverse-geocoding when you enable Live Location. When Live Location is enabled, Geoapify may process your precise location coordinates.
We may disclose information when required by law or to protect our rights and safety. We may also share aggregated, non-identifying statistics.
Legal basis for processing (EEA/UK)
- Contract: to provide the Service to you.
- Legitimate interests: to ensure security and reliability.
- Consent: for optional features such as Live Location and camera/photo access.
- Legal obligation: to comply with applicable laws.
Data retention and deletion
- We retain your data while your account is active or as needed to provide the Service.
- You can delete your account through the app to remove your authentication account and personal data. We also attempt to remove avatar files. See our Delete Account page for details.
- Content created by other users (such as their private notes about you) may remain with their accounts.
- Service provider backups and caches are purged according to their own schedules, so short-term remnants may persist temporarily.
Your choices and rights
- You can control profile visibility, location precision, and Live Location settings within the app.
- You can view and update your profile or delete your account through the app (see Delete Account). You can also email us at team@catchfly.link.
- EEA/UK/Switzerland residents: You have the right to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction of processing, or to object to processing. You can also withdraw consent at any time.
- California residents: We do not "sell" or "share" personal information for cross-context advertising. You may request to know about, access, correct, or delete your information.
