Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 6, 2026

Gazulation ("the app") shows stargazing condition forecasts for a location you choose. We built it to need as little of your data as possible: the app has no user accounts, no advertising, and no analytics or tracking SDKs.

Information the app uses

• Location (optional). If you grant location permission, the app reads your device's coordinates and sends them to our forecast server to compute stargazing conditions for your area. You can decline the permission and instead search for a place by name or enter coordinates manually — every feature works without device location.
• Place searches. When you search for a place by name, the text you type is sent to a geocoding service to find matching locations.

How that information is used

Coordinates are used for exactly one purpose: calculating the weather and astronomy forecast you asked for. They are processed transiently on our server and held only in a short-lived cache (up to 60 minutes, keyed by approximate location, not by you or your device). We do not build profiles, and we cannot link requests to your identity — the app never asks who you are.

Third-party services

• WeatherAPI.com — our server sends the requested coordinates to retrieve the weather forecast.
• Open-Meteo — receives the place name you type when using search, to return matching coordinates.

These services receive only what is needed to answer the request (coordinates or a place name), never your identity.

What we don't do

• No accounts, sign-in, or collection of names, emails, or contacts.
• No advertising, analytics, or tracking of any kind.
• No selling or sharing of personal data.
• No data stored about you after your forecast request is served.

Children

The app is suitable for all ages and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the app handles data, we will update this page and the "last updated" date above.
