What the app and its backend hold about you, why, and how to get rid of it.

Last updated 5 August 2026

Kitten is a personal assistant app run by Nikky Amresh as an individual, not a company. This page describes what the app and its backend hold about you, why, and how to get rid of it. Questions go to [email protected].

What is collected

Data Why
Email address, and (with Google or Apple sign-in) your name and profile photo URL To identify your account. If you sign up with an email and password, the password is held by Google Firebase Authentication, never by Kitten.
Content you create: tasks, reminders, notes, memories, saved topics and websites, blog drafts, chat messages It is the app. Without it there is nothing to assist with.
Push token for your device, and the platform (iOS or Android) To deliver notifications you asked for.
Timestamps, and a record of notifications sent So the same thing is not sent twice and history is readable.

Kitten does not show ads, does not track you across other apps or sites, does not build an advertising profile, and does not sell or rent anything about you. There is no analytics SDK and no crash reporting SDK in the app.

Mailbox access

The build distributed through TestFlight and Play internal testing does not connect to Gmail or any other mailbox. If that ever changes, this page will say so before the feature ships, and mailbox access will be opt-in and revocable from both Kitten and your Google account.

AI processing

Kitten cannot answer on its own. To produce a reply, a summary or a classification, it sends the relevant text to Groq, Inc., which runs the language model and sends a response back. Groq is the only AI provider the shipped app sends anything to.

What is sent: what you type to Kitten and the recent messages in that conversation; the tasks, reminders, notes and memories Kitten judges relevant to what you asked; and your name and time zone, so replies are addressed and scheduled correctly. Your password, sign-in tokens and anything Kitten was not asked to work with are never sent.

This is off until you allow it. The first time you sign in, Kitten shows you what would be sent and who receives it, and sends nothing until you agree. You can withdraw that permission at any time in Settings, AI processing, which stops Kitten sending anything further; the assistant's chat and summaries stop working, and the rest of the app carries on. Content goes through Groq's business API, which their terms exclude from training, and they are required to protect it to the same standard set out in this policy and to process it only to return a response to Kitten. Groq privacy policy.

If Kitten ever adds another AI provider, this page names it and the in-app permission is asked again before anything is sent to them.

The browser extension

Kitten Job Assist is an optional Chrome extension. It runs only on job boards, applicant tracking systems and form hosts, plus any site you explicitly turn it on for; it does not run on your other browsing. When you use it, it sends the job posting text and the labels of the application form you are on, together with the parts of your job profile needed to fill a field, to your own Kitten server and nowhere else. It authenticates with a scoped token you create and can revoke at any time, held only in your browser profile. It never submits an application for you.

Nothing the extension reads is sold, and none of it is shared with anyone other than your own Kitten server and the AI provider that drafts an answer for you, described above. It is never used for anything beyond filling and capturing job applications, and never for advertising, credit scoring or lending decisions. The extension reads a page only when you act on it, keeps no record of the sites you visit, and can be turned off for any site from its side panel or removed entirely from Chrome's extensions page.

Payments

Buying credits sends you to Stripe's own checkout page. Your card details go to Stripe and never to Kitten. Kitten stores a Stripe customer reference, which pack you bought, and the resulting credit history, so a balance can be shown and explained. Stripe processes the payment as an independent controller under its own privacy policy. Deleting your account asks Stripe to delete the customer record; Stripe keeps the transaction records it is legally required to keep.

Who else processes it

How it is protected

Traffic between the app and the service is encrypted with HTTPS. Credentials for any connected service are encrypted at rest, and access to the systems holding your data is limited to the person who runs Kitten.

How long it is kept

Content stays until you delete it or delete your account. Backups are kept for up to 14 days, so deleted content can persist in a backup for that long before ageing out. Backups are only ever used to restore the service after a failure.

Deleting your account

In the app: Settings, Delete account. That removes your account and the content listed above, hands back any integration grant, and deletes your sign-in identity, subject to the backup window above. It cannot be undone.

Without the app, or if that fails, see delete your account.

Your choices

Children

Kitten is not directed at children under 13, and is not intended for their use.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects what is collected or who processes it, the date at the top changes and anyone with an active account is told in the app before the change takes effect.
