Terms of use

Agreeing to these terms

By creating an account or using Purrank, you accept these terms and our privacy policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Purrank. Purrank is run by Siddharth Sharma, an independent developer; “we” and “us” below means him.

Who can use Purrank

You need to be at least 13 years old. If you’re under the age of adulthood where you live, a parent or guardian should agree to these terms with you. Keep your sign-in secure: you’re responsible for what happens on your account.

Your cats and photos

You keep the rights to the photos and words you share. By posting them, you give us permission to store, show, rank, resize and share them on Purrank and in links and share cards made from Purrank, for as long as they’re on Purrank. Deleting a cat or your account ends that permission, apart from copies already shared by others.

Only share photos you took yourself or have the right to share.

What’s allowed

Purrank is for cats. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive people. Don’t post:

• photos that aren’t of a cat, or that show people without their permission;
• anything violent, sexual, hateful, harassing or cruel to animals;
• someone else’s photos passed off as yours, or anything that breaks the law;
• spam, fake accounts, or tricks to push cats up the boards.

Every cat page has a Report button, and you can hide anyone whose cats you don’t want to see. We review reports within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these rules, and may suspend or close the accounts that posted it.

Points, boards and treats

Each photo’s points come from an AI model and are just for fun: every cat has the same 100 points, split its own way. Points and ranks can change, and they aren’t an expert opinion on any cat.

Treats show which cats people love and move them up Spotlight. They have no cash value and can’t be exchanged, transferred or refunded, except where the law says otherwise. If we sell credits in the future, purchases in the apps go through the App Store or Google Play and follow their refund rules.

Ending things

You can delete your account at any time from Profile in the app; see the privacy policy for what that removes. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms, and we may change or stop Purrank, telling you in the app or by email when we reasonably can.

No guarantees

Purrank is provided as it is. We work to keep it running and your photos safe, but we can’t promise it will always be available or free of mistakes. As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect or consequential losses from using Purrank, and nothing here limits rights you have that the law doesn’t let us take away.

App stores

If you got Purrank from the App Store, Apple’s standard license terms also apply, and Apple isn’t responsible for Purrank or for supporting it. The same goes for Google if you got it from Google Play.

Changes and contact

If these terms change, we’ll update this page and the date at the top; continuing to use Purrank after that means you accept the new terms. Questions? Email sid@purrank.app.
