Privacy Policy
Last updated November 10, 2026
We collect as little as we can: only what we need to make your map and send it to you. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking.
Who is responsible
YourStarryMap is responsible for your data. Contact: support@yourstarrymap.com.
What we collect
- Your design: the title and other text, the place (its name and coordinates), the date and time, your style choices and the language. The text can include names, yours or other people's.
- Your email address, when you check out, to send you the map and help with your order.
- The PayPal order number of your payment. PayPal handles the payment itself. We don't receive your card or bank details.
- Technical logs (IP address, browser, pages requested) kept by our servers for security and troubleshooting.
What we don't do
We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. We don't sell your data or share it for marketing, and we don't send newsletters.
Stored in your browser
While you design, your map is saved in your own browser so you don't lose it. It reaches us only when you press "Get your map". To draw the sky preview, the place, date and style are sent to our server, without your name or email. "Start over" in the builder, or clearing your browser data, removes the saved map.
Services we use
These companies process data for us, each only for its task:
- PayPal: takes your payment.
- SendGrid (Twilio): sends the email with your download link.
- OpenStreetMap: place search and the small map in the builder. What you type in the search, and your location if you press "Use my current location", go to its servers.
- Our hosting provider: runs our servers and database.
Some of these companies work outside your country. When they do, they use the safeguards the law requires.
Why we use your data
To make and deliver the map you ordered (our contract with you), to keep the site secure and answer your questions (our legitimate interest), and to keep the records tax law requires (a legal obligation).
How long we keep it
We keep your order for as long as your download link and support need it, and delete it when you ask. The exception is what tax and accounting law requires us to keep, such as the record of the payment.
Your rights
You can ask us to see, correct, export or delete your data, or object to how we use it. Write to support@yourstarrymap.com. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
Children
The site is meant for adults. Parents often add a child's name to a map, and we treat that the same as any other order.
Changes
If we change how we handle data, we will update this page and its date.
