Privacy policy.

Kettik helps people discover activities, organize plans and connect in circles. This Privacy Policy covers the Kettik mobile app, its Apple App Clip, our associated services and this privacy website.

Responsible developer: Asset Ziyabek, an individual developer (“Kettik,” “we,” “our” or “us”). For privacy questions or requests, use the contact details below.

Some information comes from you, some from the sign-in provider you choose, and some is generated when you use our services.

Automatic collection and local storage

Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics are optional and disabled by default. If you enable usage analytics, Firebase Analytics processes app interactions, app-instance identifiers and technical device data to help improve Kettik; it may derive a general location from network information. If you enable crash reports, Firebase Crashlytics processes crash reports, error traces and technical device data to help fix problems. Advertising storage, advertising data use and ad-personalization consent remain off. These choices are separate from accepting the Terms of Use.

Core sign-in, security and notification services still process necessary request, session and installation information. Cloud Messaging processes installation identifiers and technical device information; registering your notification token with Kettik and receiving notifications depend on your notification choices. Turning off optional analytics does not turn off these core services.

Kettik stores authentication tokens in device secure storage and keeps preferences and cached app data locally. This privacy website has no analytics scripts, advertising cookies or sign-in. Its hosting provider still processes ordinary request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver and secure the pages.

Before uploading a profile photo, the current mobile app applies its orientation and creates a new image from its pixels on your device, removing GPS, EXIF and other embedded file metadata. Older uploads may still contain metadata. Personal information visible in the image itself is not removed.

Photo uploads are optional. Before the first upload, the app explains the Cloudmersive security scan and asks for permission. Authorized Kettik moderators review submitted images before publication and can access pending images and relevant safety evidence for that purpose. A new profile photo stays private during review; your previous photo stays visible until approval. Rejected image files are queued for deletion, with retries if storage is unavailable.

• Provide Kettik: create and authenticate accounts, deliver sign-in codes, save profiles, organize plans and circles, process invitations, attendance and polls, and show relevant activities.
• Keep you informed: send the invitations, reminders and plan updates associated with your account and notification choices.
• Maintain and improve the service: understand feature usage, diagnose crashes and delivery failures, prevent abuse, secure accounts and respond to support requests.
• Meet obligations: handle privacy requests, enforce service rules and comply with applicable legal requirements.
• Protect the community: apply blocks, prevent blocked accounts from sending new invitations, review safety reports, preserve necessary evidence and take proportionate action against abuse.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on performance of our service agreement for requested account features, legitimate interests for proportionate security and service maintenance, legal obligations, and consent where required for optional processing. You may withdraw consent by changing the relevant permission or contacting us; withdrawal does not affect processing already lawfully completed.

People you connect with

Your profile details and participation may be visible to other people in the relevant circles or plans. Plan details you publish or share can be accessible to their audience, including recipients of a shared link or App Clip invitation. People can copy, forward or save information they can access. Avoid including private information in shared descriptions or images.

Services that help Kettik work

We require providers handling personal information on our behalf to protect it to the same or an equivalent standard described in this policy and to use it only for the authorized services, subject to applicable law. Sign-in providers also handle your interactions with their services under their own policies.

Information may also be disclosed when necessary to comply with law, protect people or the service, investigate abuse, or carry out a business transfer with appropriate privacy safeguards. We will notify you of material changes to how your information is handled.

• Location: enter your city or choose a venue without granting GPS access. The current release does not request device location permission or track location in the background.
• Photos: select an individual image using the system file picker. Choose whether to allow photo processing before the first upload, and withdraw permission for future uploads under Profile → Privacy & safety → Photo processing. Refusing does not restrict non-photo features. Withdrawing does not automatically remove already submitted photos; account deletion removes them under the retention schedule below.
• Notifications: change the notification switch in Kettik’s Profile settings or use your device’s notification settings. Turning off alerts does not remove account activity or necessarily stop technical installation data processed by the messaging SDK.
• Profile: edit your personal details and interests in the Profile screen. Remove optional information you no longer want to display.
• Safety: report a user or plan from its safety menu. You can block at the same time or block separately. Manage and remove your blocks under Profile → Privacy & safety → Blocked accounts. Reporting and blocking are private; we do not notify the reported or blocked person.
• Analytics and crash reports: privacy choices are available before sign-in, during account setup, on the Terms screen and under Profile → Privacy & safety. Both choices start off, apply to this device and are optional for using Kettik. Turning usage analytics off stops new collection and resets local analytics data. The error-report switch permits local recording of Flutter errors; the native Crashlytics SDK also stores crash details on the device. Automatic Crashlytics uploads remain disabled. A separate Send saved reports confirmation authorizes one saved batch from previous app runs to be sent to Firebase, at most once per launch. Enabling error recording first discards earlier unapproved reports and requires an app restart before manual sending becomes available. Turning it off immediately stops new Flutter error recording and further send requests. Unsent reports are requested for deletion, but an already authorized batch may finish sending and cannot be recalled. After upgrading from an older version that enabled native automatic reporting, restart Kettik to finish disabling the old setting; new Flutter recording and manual sending are blocked during that transition, and a transfer already started by the old SDK may finish. Previously sent data remains subject to the retention schedule and your applicable privacy rights. Account deletion also resets these optional choices and photo-processing permission on the deleting device.

Refusing an optional permission may limit its associated feature. Uninstalling the app removes access from that device, but does not delete your Kettik account.

We keep active account information and the content needed to provide your plans and circles while your account or that content remains in use. You can request deletion of your account and associated personal information.

Account deletion removes your email, profile details, sign-in identities, Terms acceptance records, notification tokens and login sessions from the active account system. Your account becomes unavailable for sign-in. Uploaded media, including photos awaiting review, is queued for physical deletion; this is processed separately and is not instantaneous. Limited security, safety and vendor-held records may remain for the periods below, as explained in the deletion confirmation.

Shared activity: deleting your account also removes plans, circles and catalog items you created, along with your memberships, invitations and poll choices. Plans and circles created by other people remain, but your account association is removed. Copies that another person independently saved or shared are outside Kettik’s control; contact us if you believe personal information remains in the service.

When an account is deleted, its blocks are removed. Non-identifying safety-report and moderation metadata may remain for up to 24 months. When an account is deleted, snapshots about that account are cleared, descriptions submitted by that account are removed, and account-linked moderator notes and block-notification identifiers are redacted before account references are detached. Retained metadata is access-restricted and used only for moderation, safety, dispute handling or legal compliance.

Scheduled removal occurs through periodic cleanup jobs. Information may be retained longer when a specific legal obligation, dispute or security investigation requires it; access is limited to that purpose. Backup copies are not used for ordinary service activity and deletion must be reapplied if a backup is restored.

We use HTTPS for service connections, authenticated access controls, protected sign-in tokens, limited-access infrastructure and controls intended to detect or prevent abuse. No system can guarantee absolute security.

Our infrastructure and service providers may process information outside your country, including in European and United States infrastructure. Where applicable, we use legally required safeguards for international transfers. Contact us for information about the safeguards relevant to your data.

Public or shared media links can be accessed by people who receive them. Share only content that is appropriate for its audience.

Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of personal information, restrict or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to a privacy regulator.

To make a request, contact us using the details below. Tell us which Kettik account and information your request concerns. We may verify account ownership before acting and will respond within the period required by applicable law. Do not send your password or a sign-in verification code.

Kettik is intended for people aged 18 or older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

If you believe a person under 18 has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and delete the account and associated information.

We may update this policy as Kettik or our data practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision. For significant changes, we will provide an appropriate notice and seek consent where required before beginning the new processing.
