Stargazer Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 27, 2025
Version: 1.0

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Stargazer ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile app and related services (the “Service”).


1. Information We Collect

a. Information You Provide

When you sign in with GitHub, we may collect your public profile information, such as your GitHub username and avatar, to enable app features like the leaderboard, profile display, and push notifications.

b. Automatically Collected Information

  • Usage Data: We may collect anonymous analytics and usage patterns (e.g., which screens are visited) to help improve the app’s performance and user experience.
  • Crash Reports: We may collect crash logs and error reports to diagnose and fix issues.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Authenticate and log you into your account via GitHub
  • Provide and improve core app functionality
  • Send optional push notifications (if enabled)
  • Analyze anonymized usage patterns to improve the app
  • Monitor and debug performance or technical issues

We do not use your data for advertising or profiling.


3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

We may share limited data only with trusted third-party providers to operate the app, including:

  • Supabase (database and backend infrastructure)
  • GitHub (authentication and public user info)
  • Expo (push notification services)

We may also share information when required by law or legal process, or to protect our rights and users’ safety.


4. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as needed to provide the Service. If you delete your account or request data deletion, we will remove your information from our systems within a reasonable time.


5. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no system is completely secure. You acknowledge that you use the app at your own risk.


6. Children's Privacy

Stargazer is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.


7. Your Rights

You may:

  • Request access to or deletion of your data
  • Withdraw your consent to data collection at any time (e.g., by deleting your account or uninstalling the app)

To make a request, contact us using the information below.


8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you via the app or app update.
