Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Our headline commitment

StargazerKit does not collect personal information. We have no login, no user accounts, no analytics profiling, and no third-party advertising trackers.

What runs in your browser

Every tool computation happens locally in your browser. Inputs you type into calculators (dates, coordinates, telescope specs) are never transmitted to StargazerKit servers.

What we don't store

  • Your name, email, or any account information — we don't have accounts.
  • Your IP address (beyond transient logs your hosting provider may keep for security).
  • Your device fingerprint or advertising identifier.
  • Your calculation history, saved locations, or observation logs.

Third-party APIs

A few tools call public APIs (open-meteo.com for weather, NASA NeoWs for asteroids, NOAA SWPC for solar activity). These requests originate from your browser and go directly to those services under their privacy terms. StargazerKit does not intermediate or log them.

Advertising & Personalization

StargazerKit may display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks, including Google. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing activity across this and other websites. You can opt out of Google's personalized advertising by visiting:

Cookies

StargazerKit sets no analytics cookies of its own. Third-party advertising partners (including Google) may set cookies to deliver ads and measure their effectiveness. You can manage or disable these cookies through your browser settings or via the Google opt-out links above. If your browser stores anything from our origin beyond ad-related cookies, it is limited to essential state such as your last selected tab.

Data retention

Because StargazerKit does not collect personal data, there is no data to retain or delete. Any data stored by third-party ad partners is governed by their respective privacy policies.

Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you. Since we do not collect personal data, there is nothing for us to provide or delete. For data held by third-party ad partners, please exercise your rights directly with them through the links provided above.

Children

The site is suitable for all ages. Because we collect no personal data, we have no COPPA-relevant records. Third-party ad networks may serve ads to all visitors regardless of age; we encourage parents to use ad-personalization opt-out tools and browser-level controls.

International users

StargazerKit is accessible worldwide. If you are accessing the site from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or any region with data-protection laws, please be aware that third-party ad services may transfer data internationally. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies for details.

Security

We take reasonable measures to ensure the site is served securely (HTTPS). However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use up-to-date browsers and avoid entering sensitive information into any online tool.

Changes

If our privacy stance ever changes, we will update this page and reset the "last updated" date. Significant changes will be highlighted at the top of this policy.
