This Privacy Policy explains how PREMIER MOBILE APPS, a partnership firm registered in India ("we", "us", "our"), collects, uses and shares information when you use the mobile application Cat Translator: Human to Cat (the "App").
Please read this policy before using the App. By downloading or using the App, you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
Cat Translator: Human to Cat is an entertainment app. It lets you:
The App does not really translate cat language. Results are for fun and general information only.
The data controller (and "Data Fiduciary" under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023) is:

| Data | When | What happens to it |
|---|---|---|
| Microphone audio (your voice or your cat's sounds) | Only while you record on the Translator screen, after you allow the microphone permission. | The sound is checked on your device by an on-device model (Google MediaPipe) to tell whether it is a cat or a human voice. The audio is kept in memory only and is thrown away when the check ends. It is not saved and not sent to us. On some devices where this model cannot run, the App uses your phone's built-in Android speech recognition service instead. That service is provided by Google or your phone maker, and it may process the audio on their servers under their own privacy policy. The App does not save or use any text from it. |
| Photos (a camera photo or a photo you pick) | Only when you use the Cat Scanner and take a photo (after you allow the camera permission) or pick one. | The photo is made smaller and sent over an encrypted connection to our server. Our server passes it to our AI provider, OpenRouter, which sends it to an AI model (currently Google Gemini or Gemma models) to identify the cat and write breed information. Our server does not save your photo. It is deleted as soon as your result is sent back. A copy stays in the App's private storage on your phone so the result screen can show it. Your next scan replaces it. |
| "Request New" form: your suggestion text, your email address (optional), your device model and your device language | Only when you open "Request New" on the Emotions screen, type a suggestion and press Submit. | Sent over an encrypted connection to a Google Form that we own. We read it to decide what to add next. The device model and language are added automatically so we know which device and language the request came from. If you enter an email, we use it only to reply to you about your suggestion. We never add it to a mailing list and never give it to advertisers. |
| Messages you send us (email, feedback, support) | Only if you contact us. | We use it only to answer you. |
Like most free apps, the App and its service providers automatically collect some technical information:
| Data | Why | Who collects it |
|---|---|---|
| Device information: device model, maker, Android version, screen size, language, country, network type, Wi-Fi status, mobile carrier | To make the App work, show ads and fix problems | Firebase, Appodeal and its partners |
| App activity: screens and features used, session length, ad and purchase screen events, and how you found the App (install referrer) | To understand how the App is used, improve it and measure ads | Firebase Analytics, Appodeal and its partners (including Adjust and Meta) |
| Crash logs and diagnostics: crash reports, error messages, app version, loading times | To find and fix crashes and slow screens | Firebase Crashlytics, Firebase Performance Monitoring, Sentry (inside the Appodeal ads SDK) |
| Identifiers: Advertising ID, App Set ID, Firebase installation ID, and a random Cat Scanner ID that the App creates | To show and measure ads, count users, limit repeated ads and stop abuse of the Cat Scanner | Appodeal and its partners, Firebase, our server |
| IP address and approximate location (city or country level, worked out from the IP address) | To show ads for your region, apply local privacy laws, and prevent fraud and abuse | Appodeal and its partners, Firebase, our server |
| Information about other installed apps | Some advertising partners may check which other apps are on your device, to prevent ad fraud and show more relevant ads | Appodeal's advertising partners |
The random Cat Scanner ID is made once on your phone. It is not linked to your name, email or advertising ID. Our server uses it only to count usage and to stop one device from sending too many requests.
The App does not ask for your precise GPS location, contacts, SMS, call logs, or access to your photo library or files. We do not ask for your name, address or phone number.
| Permission | Why we need it | Can you refuse? |
|---|---|---|
RECORD_AUDIO (Microphone) | To record sounds on the Translator screen | Yes. The rest of the App keeps working; only the translator is unavailable. |
CAMERA | To take a cat photo in the Cat Scanner | Yes. You can pick an existing photo instead. |
INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE | For the Cat Scanner, ads and analytics, and to check if you are online | Granted automatically by Android; no prompt. |
AD_ID and Android ad services (Privacy Sandbox) | Used by our advertising and analytics partners | You can delete or reset your advertising ID and change ad settings in Android Settings (see section 7). |
VIBRATE, WAKE_LOCK, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, BILLING | Small vibrations, in-app purchases, and short background tasks used by Google and advertising libraries | Granted automatically by Android; no prompt. |
To choose a photo, the App uses Android's system photo picker. The App receives only the one photo you pick, never your whole gallery.
Some advertising libraries inside the App also list older storage permissions (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). The App never asks you for them and does not read your files.
When you translate your cat's sounds, the App can read the fun result aloud using the text-to-speech engine already on your phone. Only the App's own result text is passed to that engine. If your chosen speech engine works online, its own privacy policy applies. You can change your speech engine in your device settings.
We do not use your recordings or photos for advertising, and we do not use them to train AI models.
The free version of the App shows ads (banner, full-screen and rewarded video ads) through Appodeal and its advertising partners. They may use your advertising ID, device data and approximate location to show ads that are more relevant to you, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad results and prevent ad fraud. Some partners may also use Android's Privacy Sandbox features, such as Topics and ad measurement.
In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, we or our advertising partner ask for your consent before showing personalised ads, where the law requires it.
Your choices:
Even without ads, the App still sends basic crash and analytics data so it keeps working properly.
The App offers an optional one-time purchase. It is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We never see your card number, bank details or billing address. We only receive from Google whether your purchase is valid, so the App can unlock premium features. Your purchase status is stored on your device. Our analytics record whether a purchase succeeded or failed, without any payment details.
These service providers process data for the purposes below, under their own privacy policies. We recommend you read them.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:
Our service providers have servers in different countries, including the United States. When your data is transferred outside your country, we rely on the safeguards those providers use, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
All network requests made by the App use encrypted HTTPS connections. Your settings are stored in the App's private storage, which other apps cannot read. We limit who can access the data we hold. However, no method of sending or storing data is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The App is not directed at children. It is meant for users aged 13 and over (16 and over in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, where local law requires that age for consent). Our Google Play target audience is set to 13 and over.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, please email premierfeedback@outlook.com and we will delete it promptly.
You can always:
You have the right to get a summary of your personal data and how we use it, to correct or complete it, to have it erased, to withdraw consent, to nominate another person to use your rights if you die or cannot act, and to raise a complaint with us. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India.
You have the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, receive it in a portable format, withdraw consent, and complain to your local data protection authority. Our legal bases are:
Where we rely on consent, you can withdraw it at any time. This does not affect processing that already happened.
You have the right to know what personal information is collected and why, to delete it, to correct it, to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" for targeted advertising, and not to be treated differently for using these rights.
We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of advertising IDs by our advertising partners may count as a "sale" or "share" under some US state laws. To opt out, turn off ad personalisation or delete your advertising ID in Android Settings, or email us with the subject "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information".
Email premierfeedback@outlook.com from the address you want us to reply to, and tell us what you want. We will answer within 30 days (45 days for California requests, extendable once where the law allows). Where a request must go to one of our providers, we will pass it on for you.
The App has no accounts. We keep no user profile, no stored photos and no stored recordings. We hold only:
If you get stuck, email us and we will pass your request to the right provider for you.
Email premierfeedback@outlook.com and ask us to delete your suggestion. Tell us the email you entered on the form, or roughly what you wrote and when, so we can find it. We will delete it and confirm within 30 days.
The App itself does not use browser cookies for tracking. In-app web pages (such as this policy opened inside the App) and the SDKs described above may use cookies, local storage or similar identifiers to work, limit repeated ads and detect fraud. You can control these through your device settings and advertising ID controls.
The App may open links to Google Play, to this policy page and, when you tap Share, to other apps you choose. Ads may also link to other websites. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
This Privacy Policy is written to match the Data safety section of our Google Play listing. Our Data safety section says we do not offer a data deletion request feature. This is because the App has no accounts and we hold no record linked to a person, as explained in section 16. If we find any difference between the two, we will fix it as soon as possible.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where the law requires, tell you inside the App. If you keep using the App after a change, you accept the updated policy.
If you have any question about this Privacy Policy or your data:
