Introduction

This policy covers the MySky Pro app and this product site. When you turn on online solving, sky photos are sent through our servers to a third-party plate-solving service.

Information we collect

We may collect:

  • Sky photos you upload for online solving, plus job identifiers needed to return a result
  • IP address and request time used to limit abuse
  • Cookies, browser type, and visit logs on this site, where applicable
  • Works and observing settings stored on your device; if you enable location, coordinates stay on the device by default

How we use information

We use this information to:

  • Plate-solve sky photos when you ask us to
  • Rate-limit uploads, prevent abuse, and improve MySky Pro
  • Run this website and respond if you contact us

Legal bases

We process information on these bases:

  • Contract: providing the solving and app features you request
  • Legitimate interests: security, anti-abuse, and site operation
  • Consent: non-essential cookies, optional location, and optional online solving

Retention

Temporary solve images and job records are kept only as long as needed to finish the request, then deleted or de-identified. Anti-abuse logs are kept briefly. Cookie consent on this site is typically about 180 days. The on-device library is under your control.

Cookies

This site may use preference cookies:

  • analytics_consent: remembers analytics consent for 365 days.
  • marketing_consent: remembers marketing consent for 365 days.

Sharing and transfers

We do not sell your personal information. If you agree to online solving, photos are uploaded over HTTPS to our API (api.myskypro.space) and forwarded to Astrometry.net (Nova) to compute sky coordinates. That processing may occur in other countries. We require this processor to protect the data with contractual and technical safeguards at a level at least equal to this policy.

Online plate solving

On the upload confirm screen you can turn “Solve online” on or off. When it is on, the selected photo is uploaded over HTTPS and sent to Astrometry.net for star matching. When it is off, the photo stays on your device and you can place it manually without uploading it for a solve.

On-device storage

Your photo library, Moon overlays, and observing settings (including a location you choose) stay on your device by default. Deleting a work or uninstalling the app removes that local copy.

Third parties

Astrometry.net / Nova (https://nova.astrometry.net/) receives the sky photo only when you agree to online solving. We require them to provide protection comparable to this policy. Please also read their own privacy terms.

Your rights

Under applicable law you may:

  • Access your personal data
  • Correct inaccurate data
  • Delete your data
  • Withdraw consent (for example by turning off online solving or cookies)
  • Request data portability
