Privacy policy
Effective 15 November 2026 · Applies to the CATCH app for Android and iOS (package com.catchhq.catch_app).
CATCH is a personal organizer: you capture tasks, notes, recordings and reminders, and CATCH reminds you. This policy explains what data CATCH handles, where it goes, and how you control it. Questions: support@getcatchhq.com.
The short version
- CATCH works without an account. Without one, your data stays on your phone.
- If you sign in, your tasks and lists sync to our servers so you can use them on other devices.
- Voice recordings, photos, documents and your location never leave your phone.
- We don't sell your data, show ads, or use analytics or advertising SDKs.
- You can delete your account and server data from inside the app at any time.
Data CATCH handles
| Data | Where it is | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks, notes, lists, reminders, follow-ups, routines | On your phone. If you sign in, synced to our database (Supabase), stored per account. | To provide the app and sync between your devices. |
| Email address | Our authentication provider (Supabase Auth), only if you sign in. | To sign you in with a one-time code and recover your account. |
| Voice recordings | On your phone only. Kept only if you choose "Save the original recording". | To turn speech into text and let you replay what you said. |
| Speech-to-text | Done by your phone's speech recognition service (e.g. Google on Android), which may process audio on the device or online under that provider's terms. | To transcribe what you say. |
| Photos, scanned documents, PDFs | On your phone only. Text recognition runs on the device. | To save and search your captures. |
| Location | On your phone only, and only if you allow it. Place coordinates are never sent to our servers. | Place reminders ("remind me when I get home") and, if you ask, a one-time current location for Leave Now. |
| AI requests (optional) | If you turn on AI features, the text of that request is sent through our server to our AI provider (Anthropic) to process it, then returned. It is not used to train models. | Optional smart planning and extraction. The built-in assistant works on the device without this. |
| Purchases (when available) | Google Play / Apple App Store, plus a receipt check on our server. | To unlock paid plans. |
| Alarm diagnostics | On your phone only. Never uploaded; you can copy the report yourself. | To help you fix alarms that don't ring. |
Sharing
We don't sell or rent personal data. We share data only with the service providers that run CATCH for us: Supabase (database and sign-in), Anthropic (optional AI requests), Google and Apple (app stores and purchases), and our email delivery service (sign-in codes). We may also disclose data when the law requires it.
Permissions
Microphone (only while you record, with a visible "CATCH is recording" notification) · Notifications and alarms (to remind you) · Location (optional, for place reminders) · Exact alarms and full-screen alarms (so alarms ring on time and show over the lock screen). You can turn any of these off in your phone's settings.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Server data is isolated per account by database access rules. Recordings and attachments are never available through public links.
Retention and deletion
Synced data stays until you delete it or your account. Deleting your account removes your account and its server data. See Delete your account. Data on your phone is removed when you use "Delete all data" in the app or uninstall it.
Your choices
Use CATCH without an account; turn AI features off; export your data (Settings › Privacy › Export); delete data and your account in the app. Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct or delete your data. Contact us at support@getcatchhq.com.
Children
CATCH is not directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We'll update this page and its date when this policy changes, and tell you in the app for significant changes.
