Privacy policy
Effective November 8, 2026
Information we receive
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address and a securely hashed password. Breeders may provide cattery descriptions, business contact information, cat details, and photographs for publication. Inquiry forms, optional adoption applications and opt-in interest lists collect information visitors choose to submit and share with participating catteries. We also process essential security logs and aggregated page-load statistics.
How information is used
We use information to operate hosted cattery websites, manage accounts and subscriptions, deliver contact inquiries, administer opt-in interest lists, send important service emails, prevent fraud and abuse, and respond to support requests. Public information you choose to publish may be indexed by search engines and shared by visitors.
Service providers and payments
Our hosting provider processes the information needed to operate the website. PayPal processes subscriptions, optional one-time feature purchases and assisted setup payments; we receive payment and subscription identifiers and status but do not store your card number. Our configured email provider delivers service emails. If a breeder voluntarily requests an AI writing suggestion, relevant saved cattery facts are sent to the configured AI provider to create that suggestion; results are not published without review.
Cookies, security and retention
Essential session cookies keep you signed in and help protect forms. We use technical safeguards including access controls, rate limits and restricted uploads, but no online service can promise absolute security. Account and listing information is retained while needed to provide the service; certain records may be retained longer for billing, compliance, abuse prevention or dispute resolution.
Your choices
Breeders can edit most public listing details in their dashboard. Interest-list subscribers can confirm or unsubscribe using email links. You may contact us to request access, correction or deletion of personal information, subject to obligations to retain certain records. You can also ask us to remove unauthorized content.
Children and changes
This service is intended for adults and is not designed to collect personal information from children. We may update this policy when our practices change, and the current version will be posted here.
