Kittova Privacy Policy

Effective date: 15 August 2026

Kittova is a coordination and record-keeping app for private rotating savings circles. This policy describes the information used by Kittova, package ai.saifullah.kittova, and the choices available to you.

Information the app processes

• Anonymous account identifier: Firebase Authentication creates an identifier so the app can recognize your installation without requesting an email address or phone number.
• Circle and member information: display names, circle names, invite codes, contribution amount and currency, schedule, member order, contribution claims, receipt confirmations, and integrity records that you and your circle members create.
• Notification token: a Firebase Cloud Messaging token may be stored to deliver circle-related notifications. Android notification permission is requested where the operating system requires it.
• Local app data: preferences and a Firestore offline cache are stored on your device so existing circle information remains usable while offline and queued changes can sync later.

Kittova does not collect contacts, precise location, photos, audio, advertising identifiers, payment-card details, or bank credentials. It does not use advertising or analytics SDKs.

How information is used

The information above is used only to create and join circles, synchronize the shared contribution ledger, show member turns and confirmations, preserve ledger integrity, support offline use, deliver requested reminders, prevent unauthorized access, and troubleshoot the service.

Cloud services and sharing

Kittova uses Google Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and Firebase App Check. Data is encrypted in transit and processed by Google as our service provider. Circle information is visible to authenticated members of the relevant private circle. We do not sell personal information, share it for advertising, or allow unrelated users to browse it.

Money and financial information

Kittova never holds, transfers, or processes money. Members pay one another outside the app. Contribution entries are coordination records, not bank transactions.

Retention and deletion

Local preferences and cached data remain until you clear the app's data or uninstall it. Shared ledger events are intentionally append-only so other circle members retain a consistent history. When you have no active circles, the in-app profile deletion control removes your current user profile and anonymous authentication identity; historical shared records may remain as part of a circle's integrity chain. You may also request assistance or deletion of eligible data by emailing us. We may retain records when needed for security, legal obligations, or the integrity of records shared with other users.

Security

Firebase security rules restrict circle records to authorized members, and App Check helps protect backend access. No storage or transmission method is guaranteed to be completely secure, but we use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the service.

Children

Kittova is intended for adults organizing savings circles and is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum digital-consent age in their country. We do not knowingly collect children's personal information. Contact us if you believe a child has provided information.

Your choices

You can decline notifications, manage notification permission in Android settings, clear local app data, and use the in-app deletion control when eligible. Circle members should avoid entering sensitive banking or identity information into names or ledger notes.

Changes

We may update this policy when Kittova's features or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the latest version.
