Lookup Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

This policy covers Lookup: Night Sky & Stars for Android, published by Digital Rhyme.

In short: no account, no ads, no analytics, and no personal data sent to any server. Star catalogs and content come bundled with the app and work offline.

Location

Lookup requests approximate (coarse) location to work out which stars and planets are visible from where you are. It is processed entirely on your device and never transmitted. If you deny it, the app uses a default location and keeps working.

Camera

The optional live overlay uses Android's CameraX preview to show the real sky behind the map. Frames go directly to the screen. They are never captured, saved, analyzed or transmitted. If you deny camera access, the app works in standard mode.

Internet: ISS tracking

Once a day, Lookup fetches the International Space Station's orbital elements (a Two-Line Element set) from CelesTrak, a long-running non-commercial public service. The request carries no user data, and the response is cached on the device for up to 24 hours. When offline, the app uses the cached data or hides the ISS. The app makes no other network connections.

What we don't collect

No accounts or registration
No analytics or crash-reporting SDKs
No advertising or advertising identifiers
No sharing or sale of data

Deletion

Uninstalling the app removes everything it stored, including cached ISS data and settings.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Security

Your data stays in the app's private storage on your device, protected by Android's app sandbox. Keeping your device locked and up to date protects it further.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes on Google Play.
