Privacy Policy

When you use Stardy, we collect the following information:

• Account information: phone number, full name, email, date of birth (sign-in is via SMS code; one account per phone number)
• Astrology data: birth time, birth place and its coordinates, and the natal chart computed from them
• Location data: your current city, determined automatically from your IP address. GPS is not used and location permission is never requested
• Notification data: device notification token, app version, language and time zone (to send the notification in your own local time). The title and text of the notification sent are also logged; that record is what stops the same notification going out twice.
• Usage data: in-app preferences and your feedback. When you say a daily analysis was accurate or not, that answer is stored against your account together with the main theme of the reading, and is used to tune the tone of later analyses.
• Device information: device model, operating system (for crash reporting)
• Subscription data: purchase and entitlement records for Stardy Plus. Your identity is passed to the payment platform as your account ID; purchase events reach our server through the payment platform's notifications

The details of people you add for compatibility analysis are NOT stored. Their name and city never leave your device. Their birth date, birth time and the coordinates of their birthplace are sent to the server once, to calculate that person's chart; the server uses them only at the moment of calculation and SAVES THEM NOWHERE. The person themselves stays in your list on your device and goes when you uninstall the app. For the compatibility text, only sky positions (sign and degree), relationship type, language and chart precision are sent.

We do not collect photos, usernames, gender, or GPS location history.

We use the data we collect to:

• Calculate your natal chart and generate your personalized daily analysis
• Calculate compatibility analyses with the people you add
• Personalize the experience: timing, planetary seasons, the tomorrow teaser
• Send the notifications you opted into (at 08:00 in the morning and 22:00 in the evening, local time; both are generated from your own chart)
• Provide and manage the Stardy Plus subscription: entitlement checks, the monthly compatibility quota, restoring purchases
• Improve the service, maintain security and prevent abuse

We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we do not share it with advertisers, employers or insurers. Your data is shared only with the following service providers, and only as technically required for the service to work:

• Supabase: database, authentication and server functions (core infrastructure)
• RevenueCat: subscription management; it receives your account ID as its user identifier
• Apple / App Store and Google / Google Play: process the payment itself. We never see or store card details
• Anthropic: generation of the analysis texts. Our server sends the result of the chart calculation (signs, houses, planet positions) and your name, so the text can address you by name. Your birth date, birth time, birthplace, email and phone number are NOT sent. The data sent is not used to train AI models
• Twilio: delivery of the phone verification code (SMS). Your number reaches this service; the code itself is generated and verified on the Supabase side
• Firebase Cloud Messaging: push delivery (the device notification token)
• Firebase Crashlytics: crash reports when the app fails. Device model, operating system version and the crash stack are sent; none of the content you read or write is sent
• ipwho.is: your IP address reaches this service so we can determine the city you live in. The returned city and coordinates are saved to your account. This request goes from your device, not from our server

All of these service providers process the data only on our behalf and on our instructions. They are contractually bound to provide protection equal to the protection promised in this policy; they may not use the data for their own purposes, may not sell it, and may not pass it to their own subprocessors without imposing the same obligations.

These providers operate servers outside Türkiye, so the data listed above is transferred abroad to that extent. The transfer is necessary for the service to work and is made only for the purposes listed.

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data. All data transfers occur over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).

When you delete your account, your personal data is removed from the server IMMEDIATELY; there is no waiting period. Copies held in technical backups fall out within thirty days at the latest. You can delete your account from the Settings tab in the Profile section of the app; if you have uninstalled the app, send your request to hello@stardy.app.

There is one exception: the compatibility credit ledger. Because purchased credits can be restored from the store, these spend records are not deleted with the account. The ledger contains no personal content; it only records how many credits an account has used. This exception exists to prevent unlimited credits being minted through delete-and-restore.

Under KVKK (Türkiye's data protection law) and the GDPR, you have the following rights:

• The right to access your data
• The right to request correction of your data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to data processing

To exercise these rights, write to hello@stardy.app.
