Status: Draft for launch review. Last updated: 2026-04-29.
What we collect
| Data | Source |
|---|---|
| Display name | You provide it, or we auto-generate one on first launch. |
| Profile photo | Optional. You choose whether to add it. |
| Anonymous device-bound identifier | Generated on first launch and stored in your device's secure storage. We use it as your account ID. We do not collect phone number or email in the current app. |
| Match history and pench events | Generated as you create, join, score, and complete matches. |
Permissions you may grant
| Permission | What we do with it | Sent off-device? |
|---|---|---|
| Location | If granted for the wind feature, latitude and longitude are sent to fetch a wind forecast. Primary provider: open-meteo.com. Fallback providers: api.met.no and wttr.in when the primary is unavailable. | Yes, to weather providers only. Kaata servers do not store raw coordinates. |
We do not collect advertising IDs, biometrics, financial data, or data from third-party brokers. We do not sell your data, profile you for ads, or show third-party advertising in the current app.
Match privacy
Every match you create or join is invite/request based. Match codes and share cards are meant to be shared with people you want to invite, but the host must approve every join. There is no public match listing or instant open-join mode in the current app.
People who receive a match code or shared image may see limited match context such as the title, code, teams, scores, player names, or final result, depending on what you choose to share.
Who we share with
| Processor | Purpose | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Convex | Stores match and app data. | United States |
| open-meteo.com | Primary wind forecast endpoint. | Outside India |
| api.met.no | Wind forecast fallback when the primary endpoint fails. | Norway / EU |
| wttr.in | Last-resort wind forecast fallback. | External host |
| Apple and Google | Distribute the app. | Globally |
| Native share targets you choose | Receive match codes or result images when you tap share. | Depends on the app you select. |
Your rights
- Access: Settings to Privacy and Data to Export My Data gives you a JSON snapshot of your data.
- Correction: Edit your display name and photo in the app.
- Erasure: Settings to Privacy and Data to Delete My Account tombstones your account, removes public ranking and badges, removes your photo, and preserves co-owned match history in pseudonymized form so opponents' scorecards do not break.
Cross-border data transfer
Match data is processed by Convex in the United States. Wind-feature requests may reach open-meteo.com, api.met.no, or wttr.in, which are outside India.
Children
Kaata is intended for users 18 years and older. The current build has no signup screen, so age is not verified at install.
