> Data Collection
SkyChecker respects your privacy. The app collects only the minimum data necessary to function:
- Location data: Your GPS coordinates are used solely to calculate celestial object positions for your location. This data is sent to NASA's JPL Horizons API to compute ephemeris data and is never stored on our servers.
> Data Storage
All app data (cached results, preferences) is stored locally on your device. We do not operate servers that store your personal information.
> Third-Party Services
SkyChecker uses NASA's JPL Horizons System API to retrieve astronomical data. Your location coordinates are transmitted to this service to calculate accurate rise/set times. Please refer to NASA's privacy policy for information about how they handle data.
> Analytics & Tracking
SkyChecker does not include any analytics SDKs, advertising frameworks, or tracking mechanisms. We do not collect usage statistics or behavioral data.
