Privacy Policyプライバシーポリシー

Our approach

Smastar is built so that your information stays on your device. Endots LLC ("we") does not collect, transmit, sell, or have access to your personal data. We operate no servers that receive your data.

This policy covers both the iOS and the Android version. Everything below applies to both unless a paragraph is explicitly marked iOS or Android.

Information the app uses — on your device only

• Alarms, to-dos, intentions, and settings you create are stored locally on your device and are not sent to us.
• Calendar events are read on your device with your permission, to show and read out your upcoming events. The app only reads — it never writes to your calendars — and events are not sent to us. (iOS uses EventKit; Android uses CalendarContract.)
• Audio you import for focus and sleep music is copied into the app's private storage on your device and played from there. It is not sent to us.
• Readout of the time, weather, and your schedule is performed by the speech synthesis built into your device. The sentences being read are not sent to us or to any third party. On Android, the app excludes voices that require a network connection, so readout works offline.
• Health data (iOS only), via Apple HealthKit, is read on your device with your permission and shown to you in the app. It is never transmitted off your device or to us. We do not write to or share your health data. The Android version has no health or habit features.
• Sign in with Apple (iOS only): if you sign in, a stable identifier provided by Apple is stored only on your device (in the Keychain) to associate your subscription with your Apple ID for restoration. It is never sent to us. The Android version has no sign-in and creates no account.

Location for weather

To include weather in your morning briefing, the app uses your approximate location. It is requested only while the app is open — never in the background. When an alarm fires, the weather that is read out comes from a locally cached forecast; no network request is made at that moment.

iOS: your approximate location is sent to Apple's WeatherKit service to retrieve a forecast. This request is handled by Apple; it is not retained by us or shared with third parties. See Apple's privacy practices for how Apple handles WeatherKit.

Android: the app requests coarse location only (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION), never precise location. Forecasts are fetched directly from the official government weather service of the supported country. Nothing passes through a server of ours — we have none.

• Japan — Japan Meteorological Agency (jma.go.jp). Your coordinates are never sent. The app determines the nearest forecast region on your device and requests only that region's public forecast file.
• United States — National Weather Service (weather.gov). Coarse coordinates, rounded to four decimal places, are sent to look up your forecast zone.
• Canada — Meteorological Service of Canada (weather.gc.ca). A bounding box of roughly 55 km on a side is sent, and the nearest city's forecast within it is used.

To decide which country you are in, the app uses Android's built-in reverse geocoding; depending on your device, that lookup may be performed off-device by the system. If it is unavailable, the app falls back to a coordinate table bundled in the app. In any country other than the three above, the weather feature is simply off and no location is sent anywhere.

What we don't do

We use no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. We do not build user profiles. The iOS version uses no third-party SDKs; the Android version uses exactly one — Google Play Billing, for subscriptions. Because we operate no servers that receive your data, there is nothing for us to collect, sell, or hand over.

Device backups

Your device's operating system may include some of the app's data in your own cloud backup (iCloud on iOS, your Google Account on Android). This is an OS feature; we have no access to those backups.

Android: alarms, to-dos, and imported audio are excluded from cloud backup, so that deleting the app and reinstalling it gives you a clean start rather than restoring data you meant to remove. Settings — saved pronunciations, voice selection, language, and stored weather — are included, and carry over when you set up a new device. A direct device-to-device transfer carries everything over.

Subscriptions

We do not receive or store your payment information on either platform.

iOS: subscriptions are processed by Apple through the App Store. Billing, renewals, and cancellations are governed by Apple and your App Store account settings.

Android: subscriptions are processed by Google through Google Play Billing. Billing, renewals, and cancellations are governed by Google and your Google Play account settings.

Deleting your data

All of your Smastar data lives on your device, so you can erase it yourself at any time. The deletion takes effect immediately on the device. There is no request to send us, because we hold nothing to delete.

iOS

• In the app: Settings → Delete account (removes your sign-in and erases your local Smastar data), or
• Delete the app from your device.

Android

In the app: Settings → Data → "Delete all data on this device". This removes:

• your alarms — and cancels every scheduled alarm, so none of them will ring again;
• your to-dos and their completion history;
• which calendars you chose to show;
• audio you imported for focus and sleep, including the files themselves;
• saved pronunciations;
• stored weather (the cached forecast and the last location used);
• all other in-app settings — afterwards the app starts again from first-run setup.

The emptied state is also pushed to your device backup, so the data does not come back if you reinstall the app. Deleting the app from your device likewise erases its on-device data.

Your subscription is not deleted — use "Restore purchases" on the plan screen to get it back.

Cancelling your subscription

Deleting your data or the app does not cancel your subscription. Cancel it separately:

• iOS: Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
• Android: Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. The app's Settings → "Manage subscription" opens the same page.

Children

Smastar is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. Because we collect no data, this is inherent to our design.

Health information

Smastar is not a medical device. Health-related information shown in the iOS version is for general wellness and is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for any medical concerns. The Android version has no health features.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest version.
