Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 13, 2026
Starpath ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Starpath application (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our Service. By using Starpath, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information:
1.1 Account Information
An account is created for you automatically and anonymously when you first use the app — no email address or password is required. If you choose to link an email address and password in your profile (optional, to keep your account across devices), we collect and store those credentials securely (passwords are hashed using industry-standard methods).
1.2 User-Generated Content
This includes the goals you create (titles, descriptions, SMART fields, deadlines, instructions, and reflections), category preferences, and onboarding responses. This data is necessary to provide the core functionality of the Service.
1.3 Payment Information
If you subscribe to Starpath Pro, payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through In-App Purchase. We do not store your credit card number or full payment details on our servers. Through our service provider RevenueCat, Inc. we receive only an anonymous app user identifier, your subscription status, and transaction metadata (such as date and plan type).
1.4 AI Interaction Data
When you use AI-powered features, your goal titles and quiz answers are processed by OpenAI (USA) to generate your personalized plan and goal suggestions. We do not use this data to train AI models, and OpenAI does not use it for model training.
1.5 Automatically Collected Data
We may collect basic technical data such as device type and general usage patterns to ensure the Service functions properly and to improve performance. The app contains no third-party analytics SDK, and we do not use tracking for advertising purposes.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
- Authenticate your account and secure your data
- Process payments and manage subscriptions
- Generate AI-powered goal suggestions and refinements
- Send important service-related communications (e.g., security alerts, billing updates)
- Respond to your support inquiries
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.
3. Data Storage and Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to operate Starpath:
3.1 Supabase
Our database, authentication, and backend infrastructure are hosted on Supabase. Your account data and user-generated content are stored in Supabase's infrastructure. Supabase uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) for hosting. For more information, see the Supabase Privacy Policy.
3.2 Apple In-App Purchase and RevenueCat
Payment processing is handled by Apple through In-App Purchase. Your payment is charged to your Apple ID, and Apple processes and stores your payment information. We use RevenueCat, Inc. as a service provider to validate purchase receipts and manage your subscription status. See the Apple Privacy Policy and the RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
3.3 OpenAI
AI features are powered by OpenAI (USA). Your goal titles and quiz answers are processed by OpenAI to generate your personalized plan and goal suggestions; only the minimum necessary context is shared. No personal identifiers are sent, and OpenAI does not use your data for model training. See the OpenAI Privacy Policy.
4. On-Device Storage
Starpath stores only essential data on your device to:
- Maintain your authenticated session (Supabase auth tokens, stored securely on your device)
- Remember your preferences and settings (such as reminder times and Star Map theme)
The app uses no browser cookies and contains no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs. If we introduce optional analytics in the future, we will ask for your explicit consent before activating them.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Service. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it (e.g., for tax or accounting purposes related to payment transactions). Anonymized or aggregated data that cannot identify you may be retained for analytical purposes.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access — Request a copy of your personal data
- Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate data
- Erasure — Request deletion of your personal data
- Data Portability — Request an export of your data in a structured format
- Objection — Object to certain types of data processing
- Withdraw Consent — Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@dvnsolutions.ch. We will respond within 30 days.
7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, including encrypted connections (TLS/SSL), secure password hashing, row-level security policies on our database, and access controls on our backend infrastructure. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. International Data Transfers
Our Service is available globally. Your data may be processed in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States (where our service providers, including OpenAI, operate). Where data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
9. Children's Privacy
Starpath is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
