When you use KittyLog, we collect:
We use your information to:
KittyLog requests minimal GitHub permissions:
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. GitHub access tokens are encrypted and stored securely. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Generated changelogs are stored on our servers and remain accessible at your hosted changelog URL. You can delete your account at any time, which will remove your data from our systems within 30 days.
You have the right to:
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under GDPR including the right to data portability and the right to object to processing. Our lawful basis for processing is contract performance (providing the Service) and legitimate interests (improving the Service).
Your data is processed in the United States where our servers and AI providers are located. We exclusively use US-based AI inference providers and US-based hosting infrastructure. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international transfers.
When you visit a valid referral link, we store an essential, first-touch referral cookie for up to 30 days. If GitHub OAuth creates a new KittyLog account in that browser, we record the referring account, program version, qualification state, and reward history. Referral dashboards show aggregate counts only and do not identify referred people.
Cash-pilot participants may provide their country, age attestation, terms acceptance, and preference for a business check. The referral system does not ask for or store a legal payee name or mailing address. An authorized administrator obtains those details directly from the participant outside KittyLog only when a check is ready. We do not put referred-person information in checks, referral analytics, tickets, or internal payout notes.
Your account export includes your referral attribution, reward ledger, terms acceptance, and payout history. Deleting your account removes the payout preference and anonymizes retained referral records. We may retain only the minimal paid payout records—including amount, status, dates, and payment reference (a check number, or a legacy Venmo transaction reference)—needed for accounting, tax, fraud, and legal obligations. To enforce one-time referral eligibility and the annual cash ceiling after deletion, we retain a keyed, one-way fingerprint of the numeric GitHub account ID; it is not displayed or used to recreate the deleted account profile.
We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication state. We do not use tracking cookies or third-party analytics that track you across websites.
We use Sentry only for error monitoring. We do not enable Sentry performance tracing or Session Replay. Error reports may include technical diagnostics and your internal KittyLog user ID so we can investigate failures. Sentry does not track you across other websites.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or through the Service.
