This Privacy Policy explains how Starlocus (the App) handles user information.
1. Information We Handle
With permission, the App uses your current location while it is open to find nearby stargazing spots and calculate distances. Favorites, visits, ratings, notes, observing plans, optional visit photos, badges, and reminder settings are stored on your device. The App also receives verified product and entitlement information from the App Store for Premium purchases.
2. Purpose of Use
Information is used only to show nearby spots and distances, save and display your observing records, schedule reminders you request, restore App settings, and determine access to Premium features.
3. External Services
Apple processes Premium purchases through StoreKit. When you choose to open directions, the destination is handed to Apple Maps. Notifications are scheduled on the device by iOS. The current version does not send your location to a weather provider. Starlocus does not contain advertising, cross-app tracking, or third-party analytics SDKs, and it does not obtain your Apple Account or payment-card details.
4. Data Storage
User records and settings are stored locally on your device and are not uploaded to a Starlocus server. A backup file is created outside the App only when you explicitly choose to export one.
5. Permissions
Location and notification access can be changed in iPhone Settings. Visit photos are accessed only when you select them with the system photo picker; the App does not request access to your whole photo library. If location access is denied, you can continue to browse and search spots manually. Approximate location may make nearby results less precise.
6. Data Deletion
Records can be deleted in the App. Deleting the App removes locally stored App data. Exported backup files must be deleted separately from the location where you saved them. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
7. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13.
8. Changes to This Policy
This Policy may be updated when App features or information handling changes. Material changes will be announced in the App.
