Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 28, 2026
At YourStarSite, we believe that the digital universe should be a safe, peaceful, and respectful space. When you choose to turn a memory into a star, we are committed to protecting the information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data.
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to maintain the integrity of our shared sky:
- Account Information: If you create an account to manage your stars, we collect your email address and a chosen username.
- Star Content: The heartfelt messages, dedications, names, or optional photos you attach to your star when choosing to "Post a Star."
- Usage Data: Basic information such as IP addresses and interactions with the site to ensure a smooth, functional experience.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your data is used strictly to power the YourStarSite experience:
- To display your public stars in the digital sky.
- To maintain the privacy of your "Unlisted" stars, ensuring only those with the direct link can view them.
- To moderate content and ensure our environment remains peaceful, safe, and free from noise or abuse.
3. Public vs. Unlisted Stars
You have total control over the visibility of your contributions:
- Public Stars: These are visible to anyone exploring the sky. The content you share here is meant for the universe.
- Unlisted Stars: These are hidden from the public sky and search. They are only accessible via a direct, unique link that you can choose to share with loved ones.
4. Data Sharing and Protection
We do not—and never will—sell your personal data, memories, or messages to third parties. We do not use advertising trackers. Your emotional contributions are sacred.
We employ industry-standard security measures, including encryption and secure servers, to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
5. Cookies and Tracking
YourStarSite uses essential cookies solely to maintain your session (e.g., keeping you logged in) and to remember your preferences (like volume settings for ambient sounds, if applicable). We do not use cross-site tracking cookies.
6. Your Rights
You own your memories. At any time, you can:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Edit or delete any star you have created.
- Request the complete deletion of your account and all associated data.
7. Changes to this Policy
As our universe expands, we may occasionally update this Privacy Policy. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
