We do not use your personal information for purposes materially different from those described in this Privacy Policy without providing appropriate notice or obtaining consent where required.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share information only in limited circumstances, including with trusted service providers that help us operate KatsOnMars, such as website hosting providers, app hosting or deployment platforms, database or cloud infrastructure providers, email or support tools, analytics or diagnostics services, and security and monitoring tools. These providers are only permitted to use information as needed to provide services to us.

We may also disclose information if required by law or if we believe disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, respond to lawful requests, protect rights or safety, investigate fraud or abuse, or enforce our terms and policies.

If KatsOnMars is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These safeguards may include secure account authentication, session protections, access controls, encrypted connections where supported, database access restrictions, monitoring and diagnostic logging, and secure deployment practices.

However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information and user content, including uploaded photos, for as long as necessary to provide the Service, maintain your account, support recovery features, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, improve reliability and security, and comply with legal obligations.

When information is no longer needed, we may delete, anonymize, or securely retain it as permitted by law.

6. Photo Deletion and Recovery

7. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access the personal information we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of your information, object to or restrict certain processing, request a copy of your information, or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

8. Account Deletion

If KatsOnMars provides user accounts, you may request deletion of your account by contacting us at the email address listed below.

Deleting your account may permanently remove access to your saved data. Some information may be retained where required for legal, security, backup, fraud prevention, or legitimate business purposes.

9. Children’s Privacy

KatsOnMars is not intended for children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to KatsOnMars, please contact us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

If the Service is intended for users under 13 or used in schools, this section should be reviewed and expanded for compliance with applicable children’s privacy laws.

10. Third-Party Links and Services

KatsOnMars may contain links to third-party websites, services, or integrations. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party services.

Your use of third-party services is subject to their own privacy policies and terms.

11. International Users

If you access KatsOnMars from outside the country where our servers or service providers are located, your information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in another country.

By using the Service, you understand that your information may be processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your location.

12. California Privacy Notice

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. These rights may include the right to know what personal information we collect, request deletion, correct inaccurate information, opt out of sale or sharing of personal information, limit use of sensitive personal information where applicable, and not be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

KatsOnMars does not sell personal information as the term “sell” is commonly understood. If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide required opt-out mechanisms.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice, such as through the website, app, or email.
