Who this covers
This policy applies to the StarSim app for iPhone and iPad, and to this website. The app and site are operated by GER IT Consultancy, a sole proprietorship registered in the Netherlands.
Data we collect
None. The app asks for no personal information and has no way to send information to us. Specifically, StarSim does not collect:
- names, email addresses or contact details
- account credentials - there are no accounts
- location data
- device identifiers or advertising identifiers
- usage analytics, crash telemetry or behavioural data
- contacts, photos, microphone or camera access
An earlier version of the app experimented with using the device's motion sensor to steer the simulation by tilting the device. That control was removed during development in favour of on-screen gestures, and the current version does not request motion or orientation data at all.
The app contains no advertising, no third-party analytics and no tracking software of any kind.
What is stored on your device
Nothing. Unlike many apps, StarSim keeps no local history and no saved preferences - not the last system you built, not your language choice, not your zoom level. Every time you open the app, it starts from the same built-in defaults. There is simply no user data for the app to retain, on your device or anywhere else.
Network access
The simulation runs entirely offline. The app makes no network requests of any kind - not to load content, not to check for updates, not for anything.
Purchases
StarSim is a paid app sold through the App Store. Apple handles the purchase, the payment and any refund. We never see your payment details. Apple reports aggregate sales figures to us - totals and country-level summaries, with no information identifying individual buyers. Apple's handling of your data is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages and collects no data from anyone, including children. There is no chat, no user-generated content and no social feature of any kind.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction and portability over your personal data. Because we hold no personal data about you - and no data of any kind, personal or otherwise - there is nothing for us to retrieve, correct or delete.
This website
This site sets no cookies and uses no analytics. The one exception is your language choice for this website, which is remembered in your browser's local storage purely so the site opens in the same language next time; it never leaves your browser. The live preview on the home page runs entirely in your browser and nothing about it is recorded or sent anywhere.
Changes
If this policy changes, the revised version will be published on this page with a new date at the top. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
