App privacy policy
Last updated 9 October 2026
The short version
SixStars keeps what it needs to run your account, the chat and your progress. We do not sell your data, do not track you across other apps, and use no analytics. You can delete your account and its data in the app at any time.
Who is responsible
The developer of SixStars, named as the seller on its App Store page, is responsible for your data. Contact us through the support link on that page.
Your account
When you sign up we store your email address, a user ID, the handle you choose, your name colour, your profile picture if you add one, and your chat level and message count. With email, your password is stored only as a secure hash. With Google or Apple we receive your email address and an account ID from them; with Apple you can choose to hide your email.
The chat
We store each message you send, with your handle, the time and the room's language, and any picture you attach. Messages, handles, colours and profile pictures are visible to other signed-in members. Each room is cleared every day at midnight in its own time zone: its messages and pictures are deleted from our server then. Pictures and profile pictures are stored as public files: anyone with the web address can open them until they are deleted.
Reports
When you report a message, we store your user ID, the message's ID, its text, the address of its picture if it has one, and the sender's handle, so we can review it.
Moderation records
To run automatic moderation we keep a count of your removed messages for the current day, deleted at midnight UTC. If you are muted or banned, we keep that, with your handle and when it ends, until it ends or a moderator lifts it. Moderators can see these records; other members only see the bot's notice in the room.
Your progress
When you are signed in, your saved entries, checklist ticks and XP are copied to our server so they follow you to another phone. Only you can read them.
Purchases
Last Star is bought through Apple; we never see your card or Apple ID details. Last Star belongs to the SixStars account you bought it with. RevenueCat, our purchase provider, receives your SixStars user ID, your purchase history and basic device information to confirm what you have bought. To show your star in the chat, the app sends Apple's signed receipt to our server, which checks it and records only that you have Last Star.
Ads
Ads are chosen by us, not by an ad network, and are the same for everyone. No personal data is sent to advertisers and no advertising ID is used. An ad's picture may load from the advertiser's server, which then sees your IP address, as does their website if you tap the ad. Last Star turns ads off and they are no longer downloaded.
Every time you open the app
The app downloads the database, news and ads from our server. Like any web server, it sees your IP address and device type when it does. When you open an entry, we record which entry was opened and when, with nothing about you, to pick the most popular one; those records are deleted after 7 days.
Stays on your phone
Reminders and notifications are scheduled on your phone and only after you allow them. The widgets, Live Activity, Apple Watch app, Siri shortcuts and share cards work on your device; share cards are made on the phone and only leave it if you share them.
Why we use it
To provide your account, the chat, sync and Last Star (performance of our contract with you). To keep the chat safe, prevent abuse, review reports and show ads to free users (our legitimate interests in running a safe service funded by ads). Notifications only with your permission (consent), which you can withdraw in iOS Settings. Where the law requires us to keep or share data (legal obligation).
Who processes it for us
Supabase (database, sign-in and storage, London, United Kingdom). RevenueCat (purchases, United States). Apple (payments, Sign in with Apple, notifications). Google, if you sign in with Google. They process data only on our instructions or, for Apple and Google sign-in, under their own policies.
International transfers
Your data is stored in the United Kingdom, which the EU recognises as giving adequate protection. RevenueCat processes purchase data in the United States, under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
How long we keep it
Account, profile and progress: until you delete them or your account. Chat messages and chat pictures: until the room is cleared at its midnight, at most one day, or sooner if deleted. Reports: until we have reviewed them. Removed-message counts: until midnight UTC. Mutes and bans: until they end or are lifted. Anonymous entry views: 7 days. Purchase records at Apple and RevenueCat: as their policies and tax law require.
Deleting your account
Settings, your profile, Delete account removes your account, email, profile, profile picture, chat messages, chat pictures, moderation records and synced progress from our server. Reports you sent stay, no longer linked to you, and copies of a reported message stay with the report. Copies can remain in our provider's backups for a short time before they are overwritten. Signing out removes your progress from the phone.
Your rights
You can see and correct your handle, colour and picture in the app, and delete everything by deleting your account. You can also write to us to get a copy of your data, correct it, restrict or object to how we use it, or have it deleted. If you are in the EU or UK, you can complain to your data protection authority.
California
We do not sell or share personal information, as those words are defined in the CCPA, and we do not use it for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can ask to know, correct or delete the personal information we hold, and we will not treat you differently for asking.
Tracking
SixStars does not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, does not use the advertising identifier, and contains no analytics or advertising SDK.
Children
SixStars is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you think a child has an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Data travels encrypted. Our server only lets each person read and change their own private data, and purchases are checked against Apple's signature. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.
Changes
If we change this policy, the date at the top changes, and we will tell you in the app if the change matters.
