Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 12, 2026

Kitty Up (the “app”) is operated by Brandon Pang (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use Kitty Up, how we use it, who can see it, and the choices and rights you have. By using Kitty Up, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information needed to run an expense-tracking and splitting service:

• Account information — your first and last name, email address, username, and (optionally) a profile photo.
• Authentication data — if you sign in with Apple, Apple may share your name and an email address (which may be a private relay address) with us to create your account.
• Transaction data — expenses you record, including amounts, descriptions, dates, who paid, and how each expense is split between participants.
• Group and social data — the groups you belong to, your group membership, and your friend connections within the app.

We do not collect payment-card numbers or bank-account details, and Kitty Up does not process real-money payments. See our Terms of Service for more.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and maintain your account.
• To provide the core service: recording expenses and computing who owes whom.
• To display shared transactions to the appropriate group members.
• To authenticate you and keep your account secure.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.

3. How Your Information Is Stored

Your data is stored using Supabase, a hosted backend platform that runs on cloud infrastructure (Amazon Web Services). Data is transmitted over encrypted connections. While no method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

4. Who Can See Your Information

• Group members can see the transactions, balances, and participant details shared within groups you are both part of, along with your name, username, and profile photo.
• Friends can see your friend-connection status and basic profile details.

Beyond this, we do not share your personal information with third parties except as needed to operate the service (see below) or as required by law.

5. Third-Party Services

• Supabase — database, authentication, and storage hosting.
• Apple Sign-In — optional authentication.

These providers process data on our behalf in order to deliver the service.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from within the app (Settings → Delete Account). Deleting your account removes your profile, group memberships, friend connections, and invites. To preserve the integrity of shared group records, some historical transaction entries may be retained in an anonymized form and shown to other members as “Deleted User.”

7. Your Rights

You may access and update most of your information directly in the app, and you may delete your account as described above. To make any other request regarding your data, contact us at brandon.j.pang@gmail.com.

8. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect and how it is used.
• Request access to or deletion of your personal information.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To exercise these rights, contact us at brandon.j.pang@gmail.com.

9. Children’s Privacy

Kitty Up is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
