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”).
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.
- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
