This Privacy Policy explains how KETSEL handles information for the Pocket Stargazer mobile application and related support communications. Pocket Stargazer does not collect, log, store, sell, or share personal data during normal app use.
This policy applies to the Pocket Stargazer app for mobile devices and related support services operated by KETSEL. The app is a beginner-friendly night-sky discovery utility, not a professional astronomy, navigation, telescope-control, or safety-critical tool.
The Application does not collect, log, or store personal information when you download and use it. Registration is not required. If the Application is used with an active internet connection, technical protocol data such as an ephemeral IP address may be transmitted only to facilitate network connectivity; KETSEL does not retain or use that data for tracking.
Pocket Stargazer does not collect precise real-time location information from your mobile device. Visibility suggestions can depend on month, sky conditions, horizon, weather, and light pollution.
Since the Application does not collect personal information, no app-use personal data is shared with third parties.
The website and app information are public. There is no registration, login, user dashboard, account profile, protected route, or authorization flow.
The Application is not intended for children under 13 years of age, or a higher age where required by applicable law. KETSEL does not knowingly solicit data from children or market to them.
If you contact KETSEL directly by email, you may voluntarily provide information such as your name, email address, and message. That information is used only to respond to your request and is not sold.
If Pocket Stargazer stores selected visible objects, current-month suggestions, Vega, Polaris, Antares, Ursa Major, Scorpius references, spotting guide views, sky direction notes, optimal time notes, Observed states, Favorites, Stars / Constellations filters, Evening Reminder settings, clean display preferences, or app settings, they remain local to the user’s device unless a future feature clearly states otherwise.
None during normal Pocket Stargazer app use.
None. KETSEL does not sell personal data.
No personal tracking, no behavioral profiling, and no account-based analytics are used in the policy described here.
Pocket Stargazer is a simple beginner-friendly night-sky companion, visible star and constellation browser, current-month sky suggestion tool, how-to-spot guide, observed object tracker, favorites vault, celestial object filter, evening reminder utility, and clean display mode app. It is not a professional astronomy research tool, telescope control system, navigation tool, scientific observatory software, astrophotography planner, certified educational curriculum, safety-critical outdoor navigation software, or replacement for professional astronomy instruction, accurate scientific observation equipment, local sky conditions, weather checks, safe outdoor behavior, or user judgment.
Because Pocket Stargazer does not collect personal information during normal use, KETSEL has no app-use personal data to retain. Local preferences on the device remain under the user’s control.
KETSEL does not keep server-side records of Pocket Stargazer app usage, observed objects, favorite stars, favorite constellations, filters, reminders, or clean display settings. If such preferences exist in the app, they are stored locally on the user’s device and can be removed by clearing app data or uninstalling the app.
Voluntary emails or support messages may be retained only as long as reasonably necessary to answer the request, maintain business records, resolve disputes, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
Because the Application does not collect personal data during normal use, the risk of personal data exposure from the Application is minimal. No security system is completely secure, but KETSEL applies reasonable safeguards to any information voluntarily provided through direct contact.
Since Pocket Stargazer does not collect personal information through normal use, uninstalling the app or clearing app data removes local app preferences from the user’s device.
Observed states, favorites, filters, reminders, and display preferences, if stored, are local to the device. Users can delete them through device app settings, clearing app storage, or uninstalling Pocket Stargazer.
If you have voluntarily contacted KETSEL and want your message or contact details deleted, send a deletion request to support@ketsel.ink.
Because the Application does not collect personal information during normal use, uninstalling it stops use of the Application and removes it from your device.
KETSEL may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by posting an updated version with a new effective date. Where required by law, KETSEL will seek consent before material changes take effect. Previous versions may be requested by contacting support@ketsel.ink.
