For parents

What we collect, what we don't, and who can talk to your child

KittyKlash was designed by a nine-year-old and built for children, which meant taking the unglamorous parts seriously from the start rather than bolting them on. Here is the whole picture, plainly.

An account is a name and a 4-digit PIN

That is the entire account. We do not ask your child for an email address, a birthday, a phone number, an address, or a photograph. There is no profile to fill in. This is deliberate — the less we hold, the less there is to go wrong.

You choose the voice setting, not your child

At sign-up a parent picks one of three: voice with anyone in the room, voice with confirmed friends only, or nobody. Your child cannot change it afterwards. The default, if you decide nothing, is nobody.

There are no adverts

None on the free tier, none anywhere, and no third-party advertising or tracking code embedded in the game. Nobody is buying your child's attention from us.

There are no loot boxes

Real money cannot buy a random chance at anything. Coins are earned by winning matches, every price is written on the item, and nothing in the shop changes how strong you are.

One payment, made by you

Full access is $12.99 once — not a subscription, and there is nothing else to buy. Checkout goes through a parent's email address, so a child cannot complete a purchase on their own.

Strangers cannot add your child

Friends work by a six-character code that has to be read out and typed in. Private rooms are joinable only by whoever was handed the code. Both of those are behind the paid unlock, which means behind you.

Instead of voice

Eight things to say, and nothing unkind

Switching voice off should not make the game lonely. Every player — in every voice mode, including “nobody” — gets an emoji wheel. It needs no server, no moderation, and there is nothing on it you would mind being said to your child.

Is it violent?

Cats get knocked out, not killed

It is a cartoon brawl. Cats bonk each other with balloons, spit hairballs and swing a rubber eyepatch. There is no blood, no gore and no death — a cat that runs out of health is “knocked out”, sits out the round, and goes back to the castle.

The dogs never win

They chase, and they bite, and they are deliberately slower than a running cat so your child can always get away. They are pressure, not punishment.

Bots go easy

A lobby fills with bots so nobody waits alone, and the mix is weighted heavily toward the gentle ones. Seventeen expert opponents is not a game, it is a wall.

Losing costs nothing

There is no rank to fall, no streak to break and nothing is taken away. The worst outcome of a bad match is another match.

The paperwork

Terms written for this game specifically

KittyKlash does not use our standard business terms, on purpose. Those require the reader to be eighteen and bind them to arbitration and an indemnity — none of which is enforceable against a child, and none of which belongs in front of one. It has its own set, addressed to you.
