Black Cat collects nothing about you. There is no account, no advertising, and nothing that says who you are or which phone you used. It does count how the gardens go — how often each one is started, solved or given up on — so that we can find the ones that are too hard or too easy. Those counts carry no identifier of any kind, and you can switch them off inside the game. This page says all of that at greater length, because the questions get asked and they deserve a straight answer.

Nothing about you. The app does not ask for your name, your email address or any other detail, and it has no way of recognising you. Specifically, Black Cat has:
The app asks for no permissions when you open it, which is the same statement said another way.
From version 1.1 the game sends three counts, and nothing else: that a garden was started, that it was solved, or that it was left unsolved. Each one carries the garden’s number, how many attempts it took and how many stones were used. We read them to find out which gardens are too hard and which are too easy.
Nothing is attached that could point back to a person or a phone. There is no identifier, no session, no device model, no language, no time zone and no free text; the timestamp is rounded to the minute so that one evening’s events cannot be reassembled into a sequence. Everything arrives under the same constant name, so all players fall together into a single anonymous total. That is also the limit of what we get: we can see that a garden is failing, but never that it is failing for you.
The counts are processed by PostHog on servers in the European Union, and they are kept as aggregate event counts rather than as profiles. If the phone is offline the counts wait on the device and are discarded after seven days.
You can switch it off. The setting is at the foot of the rules card inside the game. With it off, nothing is sent at all.
The game keeps a small amount of information in the phone’s own settings store, so that it can remember where you were. It is written by the game, read by the game, and never leaves the device:
All of it is numbers. None of it identifies you. Deleting the app removes it.
The garden counts described above go to PostHog, which processes them for us on servers in the European Union. Nothing leaves the EU and nothing goes to anyone else. Because the counts carry no identifier, there is no personal data in them to share, and there is none to sell — we do not sell personal data.
Black Cat is a paid app, and the purchase is handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details. Apple gives us anonymous sales and download counts, and Apple’s own privacy policy governs what happens in the App Store. If you write to us for support, we will have whatever you choose to put in your email, and we keep that only until the matter is settled.
The game is suitable for any age. Because the counts carry nothing that identifies anyone, they identify a child no more than they identify an adult, and nothing else about a player is gathered at all.
Under the GDPR and comparable laws you may ask for access to your personal data, its correction or its deletion, and you may object to processing. In this case there is nothing for us to hand over or erase, since we hold nothing. You are welcome to ask anyway, and to write to us at contact@vitaapps.dev. EU users may also complain to their national data protection authority; ours is Romania’s ANSPDCP.
When a version of the game changes what it gathers, this page says so before that version is released, plainly, rather than folded into a longer document. That is what happened here: version 1.1 added the garden counts in section 2a, and this notice was rewritten before it shipped. Last updated 20 August 2026.
