Privacy Policy
Living with Cats
Effective: November 3, 2026 / Last updated: November 11, 2026
Living with Cats (the “App”), an app where you care for your cat in the Room and spend time with it in wallpapers and widgets, respects your privacy and handles information as described below.
1. Information handled by the App
Information you enter or configure
Your cat's name, the day you welcomed your cat, the cat and theme you choose, your language, and other settings, as well as the “Memories” created while caring for your cat in the Room, are stored on your device. To show your cat's name and chosen theme in the widgets, some of this information is also stored in an on-device storage area (the keychain) that only the App and its widgets can read. This information is never transmitted to the developer's servers or to any third party.
As records of caring for your cat, the following information is also stored in an on-device storage area (the keychain) that only the App and its widgets can read:
- Daily diary: the days and times of day you petted, played with, or said good night to your cat (up to two years). This may be recorded from the widget's “Pet” button without opening the App.
- The number of days you have spent together (used for the friendship level), and the cat diary entries you kept as memories.
- The cat you live with for free, and the date and time you chose it (because you can choose again only every 7 days).
This information is also never transmitted to the developer's servers or to any third party.
Saving to Photos
Only when you save a wallpaper or matching icon images to Photos does the App ask for permission to add those images to the Photos app. The App never reads, modifies, or deletes photos in your photo library.
App icon
The App changes its own icon to match the cat you choose. This is done on your device using an iOS feature, and no information is sent anywhere.
Purchase information
Cat packs and Everything (both one-time purchases) and “Support the Developer” (tips that do not unlock any features) are processed through Apple's StoreKit. Apple manages payment information, and the developer does not receive payment card details. To provide purchased themes, the App checks your purchase status and records the result (which packs have been purchased) in on-device storage (the keychain) that the widgets can read. The App records nothing about tips.
Rating requests
The App may show the standard iOS rating prompt. To decide when to show it, the App counts, only on your device, things such as the day you first used the App, how many days you have used it, and how many times you have saved a wallpaper. This information is never sent anywhere. Ratings and reviews are handled by Apple's services.
Links to external websites
From the “About This App” section, you can open the website introducing the developer's other apps, the App Store review page, the feedback form, and this policy. The icon setup guides also open Apple Support pages (how to use Shortcuts and icon color settings). Those websites handle information according to their own privacy policies. The App does not send your information to them.
Network, analytics, and ads
The App does not communicate with the developer's servers. It does not use analytics, crash reporting, ads, or tracking. The App communicates with Apple's services only to load products, make a purchase (including tips), or restore purchases.
2. Storage and deletion
You can change your cat's name, the day you welcomed your cat, and other settings in the App at any time. Depending on your device settings, this data may be included in an operating-system backup. Deleting the App deletes the information it stored on the device, except for information that may remain in an OS backup. (Because of how iOS works, your cat's name, theme, daily diary, purchase status, and other information kept in the keychain may remain; after reinstalling, the App checks your purchases again with “Restore Purchases.”) Images saved to Photos can be deleted in the Photos app.
3. Disclosure to third parties
Because the developer does not collect your information, there is nothing to sell or disclose to third parties. Apple's services are used for payment processing as described above.
4. Children's privacy
The App does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
5. Security
The App keeps information in its own on-device storage area and relies on operating-system permission controls to protect it.
6. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes to the App, third-party services, or applicable laws. Material changes will be announced on this page or within the App.
7. Contact
For questions about this Policy or the App's handling of information, contact atsushi.ito6@gmail.com. You can also use the feedback form (open it from “Send Feedback” in the App's “About This App” section). What you write in the form is delivered to the developer through Google's services.
