Star Chart (“the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a family star-chart and reward tracker published by Stephen Beck. We designed Star Chart to be family-friendly and to collect as little information as possible. This policy explains what the App handles, why, and the choices you have.
If you have any questions, contact us at star.tracking.app@gmail.com.
Star Chart is intended to be set up and managed by parents, guardians, and other trusted adults (for example co-parents, sitters, or teachers). Children may use the App on a shared or handed-over device to view their stars and ask for stars. Adult-only actions — shopping, links out of the App, and settings — are placed behind a parental gate.
To make the App work, you may enter and store:
You are in control of what you type in. We ask you not to enter more personal information about a child than you need (for example, a first name or nickname is enough).
To sync your family’s data across devices, the App signs in using anonymous authentication provided by Google Firebase. This creates a random identifier for your device. It does not require or collect an email address, password, phone number, or real name, and it is not used to identify you personally.
If you enable biometric unlock, authentication is handled entirely by Apple on your device. The App is only told whether unlock succeeded or failed. We never receive or store your biometric data.
We use the information above only to:
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell or rent it. The App contains no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
The App uses Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore) to sync and store your family data. Google processes this data on our behalf as a service provider, and it is stored on Google Cloud servers. See Google’s Firebase Privacy and Security information for details.
The App may let an adult browse product ideas and open Amazon in your device’s browser or the Amazon app. Opening a product takes you to Amazon, where Amazon’s own Privacy Notice applies. We may include an affiliate tag on these links, which can earn us a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. Purchases happen entirely on Amazon — the App never receives your payment details. These links are placed behind a parental gate.
We may disclose information if required to do so by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users or others.
We take children’s privacy seriously and aim to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar laws.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal information and you would like it removed, please contact us at star.tracking.app@gmail.com and we will delete it.
You control your data:
We use reasonable measures to protect your information, including on-device Keychain storage for sensitive values, optional PIN/biometric locking, and Firebase’s access controls. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data.
Data synced through Firebase is stored on Google Cloud infrastructure and may be processed in the United States or other countries where Google operates.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and post the new version at this URL.
