Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 05, 2026
A Clear Commitment
AllMySat is built to track satellites, not people. This policy explains what the app processes, what is stored locally on your device, and what is requested from our backend.
It is written to reflect the current implementation of the iOS app.
At a glance
• No account is required to use the app.
• The app uses your location on-device for pass prediction and tracking features.
• The backend serves public satellite, transmitter, launch, and space weather data.
• We do not use third-party analytics SDKs, ad SDKs, or third-party crash reporting SDKs in the iOS app.
Data processed on your device
• Location data used to compute observer position, pass geometry, and AR alignment.
• Preferences such as units, filters, favorites, and notification rules.
• Local caches for satellite catalog data and related datasets for faster loading.
• Optional custom list cover images selected from your photo library and stored locally.
Data requested from our backend
The app connects to our backend to fetch operational data needed by app features:
• Satellite catalog metadata and TLE updates
• Transmitter and frequency information
• Launch and launch site data
• Kp forecast (space weather) data
• Public agency logo images used in the launch interface
These requests fetch public reference data only. No personal data is sent to or stored on the backend.

Storage and retention
• App preferences are stored locally in iOS UserDefaults.
• Satellite and related datasets are cached locally in the app container for performance.
• Calendar events you choose to create are saved in your own calendar database.
• Deleting the app removes app-container data stored locally on your device.
Your controls
• You can manage permissions at any time in iOS Settings.
• You can disable notifications, location usage, and optional features from app settings and system settings.
• You can remove your favorites, custom lists, and local notification schedules directly in the app.

We may update this policy when the app changes materially. The latest version is always published on this page.
