Privacy Policy

StarRing — StarRing ("StarRing — StarRing", "we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use the StarRing — StarRing mobile application (the "App").

By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

StarRing — StarRing does not require account registration and does not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number unless you voluntarily contact us.

We may collect limited non-personal information automatically, including:

• Device type, model, and operating system version
• App version and usage statistics
• Crash logs and performance data
• Anonymous advertising identifiers (e.g., GAID/IDFA where permitted)
• Approximate location (derived from IP address, not GPS) for ad targeting and analytics

1.3 User Content

StarRing — StarRing does not collect, store, or transmit any user-generated content or media files processed by the App to our own servers. All such content is stored locally on your device and remains under your control. AI-generated outputs (if applicable) may be processed via third-party AI providers — see Section 3.

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Improve app functionality and performance
• Fix bugs and crashes
• Analyze usage trends
• Enhance user experience
• Display relevant advertising
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

3. Advertising and Third-Party Services

The App may use third-party services such as advertising networks, analytics, and AI providers. These services may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies:

• Google AdMob — Privacy Policy
• Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics — Privacy Policy
• Meta Audience Network — Privacy Policy
• AppsFlyer (attribution) — Privacy Policy
• Third-party AI providers (e.g., OpenAI, Replicate, GetImg) for AI features, where applicable
• AdMob — Privacy Policy
• Adjust — Privacy Policy
• Firebase Crashlytics — Privacy Policy

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.

4. Data Retention

We retain non-personal usage and crash data for up to 24 months for analytics purposes, after which it is automatically aggregated or deleted. Any media or content processed by the App is stored only on your device and is not retained by us.

5. International Data Transfers

Some third-party services (e.g., Google, Meta, AI providers) may process data in countries outside your residence, including the United States. By using the App, you consent to such transfers. Where required, these providers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent mechanisms for cross-border data transfer.

6. Data Storage and Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational security measures to protect information collected through the App. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

Any media files processed or generated remain stored only on your device. StarRing — StarRing does not upload or back up your files to our servers.

7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

StarRing — StarRing is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA, where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that a child has provided personal information, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians may contact us using the details in Section 11 to request review or deletion.

8. Your Rights Under GDPR (EU/UK Users)

If you reside in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right of access — request a copy of data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to restrict processing
• Right to data portability
• Right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or direct marketing
• Right to withdraw consent at any time
• Right to lodge a complaint with your local Data Protection Authority

Our lawful bases for processing are: (a) your consent, (b) legitimate interests in operating and improving the App, and (c) compliance with legal obligations.

9. Your Rights Under CCPA / CPRA (California Users)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

• Right to know what personal information is collected, used, or shared
• Right to delete personal information
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information
• Right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information
• Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information: StarRing — StarRing does not sell personal information for monetary value. We may share anonymized identifiers with advertising partners (Google AdMob, Meta) for interest-based advertising, which may be considered "sharing" under CCPA/CPRA. To opt out, contact us at contact@tranquilmind.co or disable personalized ads in your device settings.

10. Data Deletion Request

You may request the deletion of any personal data we hold about you at any time, free of charge. This includes data collected automatically (advertising identifiers, device IDs, analytics events, crash logs) as well as any information you have voluntarily provided.

How to submit a deletion request:

• Send an email to contact@tranquilmind.co with the subject line "Data Deletion Request — StarRing".
• Include in your request:
  • Your Advertising ID (Android: Settings → Google → Ads → "Your advertising ID"; iOS: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking)
  • Approximate date range of app usage (optional but helpful)
  • The country/region you used the app from

What gets deleted: advertising identifiers and any analytics events tied to your device ID, crash logs associated with your device, and any cached purchase metadata held on our side. Data held by third-party SDK providers (Google AdMob, Meta Audience Network, AppsFlyer, Firebase) is deleted through their respective deletion APIs and policies.

Timeline: we will acknowledge your request within 7 days and complete the deletion within 30 days, in line with GDPR Article 12 and CCPA § 1798.130. We will email you once the deletion is complete.

What we cannot delete: a limited subset of data may be retained where required by law (e.g., fraud-prevention logs, tax-related purchase records, security audit trails) as permitted under GDPR Article 17(3) and CCPA exceptions. Such data is access-restricted and is purged at the end of its legal retention period.

You may also reset your Advertising ID at any time directly from your device settings, which prevents further association of new analytics or ad events with previously collected identifiers.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Material changes will be highlighted in-app or on our website. The "Last Updated" date above will be revised.

Your continued use of the App after updates means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
