Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Star Buddy, provided by Mavor Apps (“we,” “us,” or “our”), handles information when you use the Star Buddy iPhone app. Star Buddy is designed for a parent or guardian to set goals, record progress, award stars, and manage family rewards.
Information you add
You may choose to add a child’s nickname and profile photo; goals and schedules; completion records and stars; rewards and redemptions; growth highlights, notes, dates; and custom icons or images. Please avoid adding information that is unnecessary for using the app.
Where your information is stored
Free version. App data is stored locally on your device. We do not receive or host this data on our own servers.
Premium version. Premium enables synchronization with Apple iCloud and CloudKit. Synced data is stored in your private iCloud account and can be available on supported devices signed in to the same Apple Account. Apple handles this information under its privacy policy.
Photos
When you add an avatar or custom image, Star Buddy uses Apple’s system photo picker. The app receives only the item you select and does not request access to browse your full photo library. The selected image is stored with the related Star Buddy data as described above.
Purchases
Premium is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles payment information. Star Buddy receives only the information needed to verify and restore your Premium entitlement; we do not receive full payment-card details.
Analytics, advertising, and tracking
Star Buddy does not include third-party advertising or analytics SDKs. We do not track you across apps or websites, and we do not sell or rent personal information.
Children’s privacy
Star Buddy is designed to be set up and managed by a parent or guardian for family use. It has no independent child accounts, public profiles, social features, or behaviorally targeted advertising. Parents and guardians control the information entered about children and should use a nickname where appropriate.
Retention and deletion
Information remains in Star Buddy until you delete individual records or child profiles, or remove the app and its data. Removing the app deletes local app data from the device, subject to device backups retained by Apple. If Premium iCloud sync has been used, synced data may remain in iCloud until deleted through the app or your iCloud data-management controls.
Security
Star Buddy relies on Apple platform security, app sandboxing, and, when Premium sync is enabled, Apple iCloud and CloudKit protections. No storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so keep your device and Apple Account protected with current security features.
International use
If you use iCloud sync, Apple may process information in locations described in its applicable privacy terms. We do not independently transfer Star Buddy data to our own servers.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when Star Buddy’s features or legal requirements change. We will publish the revised policy here, update the effective date, and communicate material changes in an appropriate way.
