Privacy Policy for SpaceFan Moon Phases
Effective Date: 03/12/2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to SpaceFan Moon Phases, the app created for astronomy lovers. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information related to your use of our App.
2. Information We Collect
To provide the services and functionalities of our App and display advertisements, we collect the following types of information:
Location Data:
We use your device's location data to provide accurate moon-related information, such as moon phases, moonrise and moonset times, and other relevant lunar data for your location. Additionally, if you consent, we may use your device's location data to personalize the ads you see in the App, making them more relevant to your geographic location. Location data collection occurs only when you use App functionalities that require this information or for location-based advertising (if enabled and with consent). You can control location permissions for the App in your device settings.
Analytics Data (Firebase Analytics):
We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous and aggregated information about how the App is used. This may include details about the most used features, time spent on the App, navigation flows, and general demographic data (such as country and language), but it does not personally identify you. This data helps us understand user behavior and improve the App.
Error Reports (Firebase Crashlytics):
In case of failures or errors in the App, Firebase Crashlytics automatically collects error reports. These reports may include information about the device type, operating system version, hardware details, and the App's state at the time of the failure. This data is used to identify and fix issues and improve the App's stability.
Advertising Data (AdMob):
We display ads in our App using Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use certain data to display personalized ads. This data may include, but is not limited to:
Device and network information (IP address, device identifiers such as Android Advertising ID, device type, operating system, mobile network information)
Location data (if permission is granted and for location-based ads)
App usage information
Data collected by advertising partners
Important Notes:
We Do NOT Collect Login Information:
Our App does not require or collect any form of user login or registration.
We Do NOT Collect Other Personal Data:
Apart from location data for lunar functionalities and location-based advertising (with consent), Firebase Analytics data, and Firebase Crashlytics error reports, we do not collect any other personally identifiable data.
3. How We Use the Collected Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
Location Data:
To personalize and provide accurate and relevant moon-related information based on your geographic location and, with your consent, to personalize ads displayed in the App.
Analytics Data (Firebase Analytics):
To analyze usage trends, manage the App, track user movements within the App, and gather demographic information about our user base. This helps us understand how users interact with the App and make informed decisions about improvements and new features.
Error Reports (Firebase Crashlytics):
To diagnose and fix errors and failures in the App, ensuring a more stable and reliable experience for all users.
Advertising (AdMob):
To display ads in the App and, when permitted, to use data (including location data) to display personalized and more relevant ads. This helps us monetize the App and continue offering it for free.
4. Information Sharing
We do not share personally identifiable information with third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers:
We use third-party services, such as Google Firebase (Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics), to help us operate, provide, improve, and personalize our App. By using these services, we share the types of information described in Section 2 with these providers under their own terms of service and privacy policies.
We recommend reviewing Google Firebase's privacy policies:

Advertising Services (Google AdMob):
We share data with Google (AdMob) for the purpose of displaying ads in our App. The shared data may include the types of information detailed in the "Information We Collect" section (including location data if permission is granted).

Legal Requirements:
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid public authority requests (e.g., a subpoena, court order, or legal process).
5. Data Security
We are committed to protecting the security of your information. We implement reasonable and appropriate security measures to protect against data loss, misuse, and alteration under our control.
