Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 17, 2026

1. Introduction

CosmicObserver (the "App") is an iOS app provided by RuLa Gems (the "Developer"). The App lets you travel to real celestial bodies in a first-person view. The Developer respects and protects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App handles.

2. Information We Store

The App stores the following information only on your device:

• Discovery and visit records (discovered bodies, visit timestamps, etc.)
• Achievement / conquest status (badges, etc.)
• App settings (control sensitivity, volume, etc.)

Important: All of this data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to any external server. No account is required, and the App does not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or location.

3. How Information Is Used

Stored information is used solely to:

• Record and display your discoveries and visits (Codex, Passport, conquest badges)
• Preserve your control and audio settings
• Provide the App's features

4. Analytics, Tracking, and Ads

The App uses no analytics tools, no tracking, and no advertising SDKs. It does not collect advertising identifiers (IDFA) and does not track your behavior.

5. Sharing of Information

The App never shares your information with third parties. All data is stored only on your device.

6. Purchases on the App Store (Cosmic Pass)

All purchases and refunds of the "Cosmic Pass" in-app purchase (a one-time purchase) are handled by Apple (the App Store). The App does not collect or store payment information such as credit card numbers. You can bring your purchase back with "Restore purchases" in the App. For commercial terms such as pricing, please see the Commercial Transactions Act notice and the App Store product page.

7. External Services & Astronomical Data

• Contact / error report form (Google Forms): Content you choose to submit reaches the Developer via Google. Google's handling of information is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. Submission is optional; no information is sent unless you use the form.
• Astronomical data: The celestial information shown in the App is based on public data such as the NASA Exoplanet Archive and is unrelated to the collection of your personal information (sources are listed in the App's Credits screen).

8. Data Retention and Deletion

All data is stored on your device until you uninstall the App or delete it manually. Uninstalling the App deletes the data stored on your device.

9. Security

The App relies on iOS security features to protect your data, which is stored on your device.

10. Children's Privacy

Because the App does not collect personal information, it does not collect personal information from any user, regardless of age, including children under 13. If you are under 13, please get permission from a parent or guardian before using the contact form.

11. Privacy Rights (California / EU / UK)

Because the App stores data only on your device and performs no analytics, tracking, or advertising, there is essentially no personal information that the Developer can disclose, delete, or sell. For any questions, please contact us via the form below.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR and UK GDPR give you rights over personal data held about you — access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection, and portability. Because the App collects, stores, and transmits no personal data, the Developer holds no personal data about you, and there is nothing to disclose, correct, or erase. If you write to us using the contact details below, we keep what you send us; you can ask us to delete it the same way.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as needed. Any changes will be reflected on this page, and the "Last updated" date above will be revised.

13. Contact / Reporting Errors

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, or if you find an error in the App's content (such as astronomical data), please contact us via the form below:

About the information you provide through the form: the Developer receives what you submit, together with a reply email address if you choose to enter one (providing it is optional). It is used only to reply to you and to investigate issues, and is never provided to third parties, except where required by law. The form is a Google Form, so your submission is stored on Google's servers (Google Privacy Policy). To request deletion, please use the same form.
