Privacy Policy

Last updated June 26, 2026

Canopy requires Sign in with Apple and an active subscription to use. It stores the birth details you enter and — only if you grant permission — your current location, to compute your chart and daily readings. We do not sell your data, run advertising, use analytics SDKs, or track you across other apps. The full details are below.

1. Who we are

Canopy is an iOS application developed and operated by Stellar Apps LLC, a limited liability company registered in the United States, which is the data controller for the information described here.

You can reach us at:

2. Information we collect

Canopy is built to work with as little personal data as possible. We collect only the following:

  • Birth details — the date, time, and place (including geographic coordinates) of birth that you enter, used to compute your natal chart, Arabic lots, essential dignities, and related readings.
  • Location (optional) — your current location, accessed only if you grant permission in iOS; used for planetary hours and current-moment readings. You can instead set a place manually. We do not retain a history of your locations.
  • Account — Canopy requires you to sign in with Sign in with Apple. We receive only an Apple-issued account identifier; we request no data scopes from Apple, so we never receive your name or email address. (Apple may show your name to you during sign-in, but it is not sent to Canopy.)
  • Subscription — Canopy is a subscription app, and using it requires an active auto-renewable subscription billed through your Apple Account. We receive your subscription status (active, expired, in trial) and Apple-issued transaction identifiers from the App Store and StoreKit. We never receive or store your payment card details. See our Terms of Use for the subscription terms.

Canopy does not use any advertising, analytics, attribution, or crash-reporting SDKs. We do not automatically collect usage statistics or diagnostic data, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.

3. How we use your information

We use the information above only to operate the app's features:

  • Astrological calculation and personalisation — generating your natal chart, daily planetary hour schedule, lunar-mansion guidance, electional timing, fixed-star placements, and transit readings from your birth data and optional current location.
  • Account — authenticating you through Sign in with Apple and securely storing your chart data so it persists across your devices.
  • Subscription — verifying your subscription status with Apple's StoreKit to provide access to the app.
  • Customer support — responding to requests you send through the in-app support form or to canopyappsupport@stellarappsllc.com. When you submit an in-app support request, the app opens your device's Mail app with your message plus your device model, iOS version, and app version attached, so we can help — this is sent only when you choose to send it. If no mail account is set up, the app shows our email address so you can contact us directly.

We do not use your data for advertising, sell it, or build audience profiles.

4. Third-party services

Canopy relies on two service providers, each only to perform the function described:

  • Supabase — provides our backend (database storage, authentication, and API). Supabase stores your Apple-issued account identifier and your saved chart data on our behalf and under our instructions, and does not use it for its own purposes. Supabase is engaged under a data processing agreement; see Supabase's Privacy Policy.
  • Apple — provides Sign in with Apple and processes subscriptions through StoreKit. We receive only an account identifier and your subscription status; we never see your name, email, or payment details. See Apple's Privacy Policy.

No other third-party services receive your personal data.

5. Data security

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal data. Data exchanged between the app and our backend is encrypted in transit using HTTPS/TLS, and data stored with our backend provider (Supabase) is encrypted at rest. Access to stored data is limited to authorised personnel. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information and review our practices regularly.

6. Data retention and your choices

We retain your data while your account is active. When you delete your account, we remove your birth details, chart data, and account identifier from our systems. You are always in control:

  • Edit or delete your birth details — open Settings → Profile & Birth Data in Canopy to change or remove what you have entered.
  • Delete your account — open Settings → Account → Delete Account in Canopy. This permanently and immediately deletes your account and all associated data, and cannot be undone. You can also request deletion by contacting us through the in-app support form or at canopyappsupport@stellarappsllc.com; we will complete email requests within 30 days.
  • Revoke location access — go to iOS Settings → Canopy → Location and choose "Never" at any time.

7. Your rights — GDPR (EEA and UK)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on these lawful bases: consent (for location access, which you grant explicitly via iOS permissions) and performance of a contract (for your birth details, account, and subscription, which are necessary to provide the service you have requested).

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Erasure — ask us to delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Restriction — ask us to restrict processing in certain circumstances.
  • Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Withdraw consent — withdraw permission (for example, by revoking location access) at any time.
  • Complaint — lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (a list of EEA authorities is available at edpb.europa.eu).

To exercise any of these rights, email canopyappsupport@stellarappsllc.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Your rights — California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), gives you the right to:

  • Know — the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected, and why.
  • Delete — request deletion of personal information we have collected, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Opt out of sale or sharing — we do not sell or "share" (for cross-context behavioural advertising) your personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. To make a request, email canopyappsupport@stellarappsllc.com.

9. Children

Canopy is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at canopyappsupport@stellarappsllc.com.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. For material changes, we will provide notice in the app before they take effect. Continued use of Canopy after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

Questions about a change? Contact us at canopyappsupport@stellarappsllc.com or via the Support page.
