Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 24, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Stelial ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience using our service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our web application.

Information We Collect

Location Data

We collect location information in two ways:

  • When you manually enter a location (city name or coordinates)
  • When you choose to share your device's GPS location using the "Use My Location" feature

This location data is used solely to calculate astronomical positions (Moon sign, constellation positions) for your specific location and time. We do not store this information on our servers.

Birth Sign Information

If you choose to provide your birth sign, this information is used only to calculate personalized "booster effects" and highlight relevant constellations in your sky map. This information is not stored on our servers.

Usage Analytics

We use analytics services to understand how our application is used and to improve user experience. This may include:

  • Pages visited and features used
  • Time spent on the application
  • Browser type and device information
  • General geographic region (country/city level, not precise location)

Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated. We do not link this data to any personally identifiable information.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Calculate your current Moon sign based on your location
  • Generate personalized activity suggestions aligned with cosmic energy
  • Create custom sky maps showing constellation positions
  • Provide relevant platform links for suggested activities near your location
  • Improve our service and user experience
  • Monitor and analyze usage patterns to enhance features

Data Storage and Security

Your privacy is important to us:

  • No Account Required: We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information
  • Session-Only Data: Location and birth sign information is processed in real-time and not stored permanently
  • No Third-Party Sharing: We do not sell, trade, or transfer your location data to third parties
  • Secure Connections: All data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Geocoding Service (Nominatim/OpenStreetMap)

When you enter a city name, we use OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service to convert it to coordinates. This service has its own privacy policy available at OpenStreetMap Foundation Privacy Policy.

External Platform Links

When you click on "Explore Options" for activities, we provide links to third-party platforms (Yelp, Spotify, ClassPass, etc.). Each platform has its own privacy policy and terms of service.

Cookies and Local Storage

We may use browser local storage and cookies for:

  • Remembering your preferences during your session
  • Analytics purposes (if you haven't opted out)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may limit some functionality of our service.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

  • Choose not to share your location or birth sign information
  • Clear your browser's local storage and cookies at any time
  • Opt out of analytics tracking through your browser settings or privacy extensions
  • Request information about how your data is processed by contacting us

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
