Privacy Policy
Liftoff (“the app,” “we,” “us”) is a space‑launch tracking app. This policy explains what information the app does and does not handle. Liftoff does not require an account and never asks for your name, email, or any personal information.
Information we do not collect
- We do not collect or store your personal information.
- We do not require sign‑in or accounts.
- We do not use third‑party advertising or analytics SDKs, and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
- We do not sell or share your data.
Information handled on your device
Notifications: If you enable launch reminders, those reminders are scheduled locally on your device by iOS. We do not receive or store your reminder choices on our servers.
App preferences (such as whether you’ve completed the intro) are stored locally on your device only.
Information handled by our backend
Liftoff displays publicly available spaceflight data. To deliver this quickly and reliably, the app fetches pre‑cached public data from our backend (hosted on Supabase). When your device requests this data:
- No personal information is sent.
- Our hosting providers may automatically log standard technical request data (such as IP address and timestamp) for security, abuse‑prevention, and basic operations, as is typical for any internet service. This data is not used to identify you and is not combined into any user profile.
AI‑generated summaries
Some launch descriptions (“What this mission means”) are plain‑English summaries generated with Anthropic’s Claude AI. These are generated in advance on our backend from public launch information and then cached — none of your personal data is sent to Anthropic.
Third‑party data and links
Spaceflight data and imagery are provided by The Space Devs (Launch Library 2), the Spaceflight News API, and NASA. When you open a webcast or article link, you may be taken to a third‑party website governed by its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for those services.
Children’s privacy
Liftoff does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
