Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Planetary Hours ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website.

Information We Collect

Location Data (Optional)

When you search for a city to calculate planetary hours, we process the city name you enter. We do not collect or store your precise GPS location. City searches are used solely to retrieve sunrise and sunset times for that location.

Usage Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data to help us improve the app. This may include:

• Pages and features you interact with
• Session duration and frequency
• Device type and operating system
• General geographic region (country/city level)

Subscription Information

If you purchase a subscription through Google Play, payment processing is handled entirely by Google. We receive confirmation of your subscription status but do not have access to your payment details (credit card numbers, billing address, etc.).

We use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions. RevenueCat receives:

• An anonymous user identifier
• Subscription status and purchase history
• App and device information

Error Reports

We use Bugsnag to collect crash reports and errors. These reports help us identify and fix issues. They may include device information and app state at the time of the error, but do not include personal information.

Information We Do Not Collect

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide planetary hour calculations for your selected location
• Process and manage your subscription
• Improve app performance and user experience
• Fix bugs and technical issues
• Analyze usage patterns to guide feature development

Data Storage and Security

Your app preferences and settings are stored locally on your device. We do not maintain user accounts or store personal data on our servers.

Subscription status is managed by RevenueCat and synced with our servers to verify access. This data is protected using industry-standard security measures.

Third-Party Services

Our app uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Google Play - Payment processing and app distribution (Privacy Policy)
• RevenueCat - Subscription management (Privacy Policy)
• Google Analytics - Usage analytics (Privacy Policy)
• Bugsnag - Error reporting (Privacy Policy)

Data Retention

Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention policies (typically 26 months). Subscription records are retained for as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations.

Since we don't create user accounts, there is no personal data to delete. Your local app data can be cleared by uninstalling the app or clearing app data in your device settings.

Children's Privacy

Our app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of analytics tracking
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy in the app or on our website. Your continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
