Privacy Policy
Effective: 5 November 2026
This privacy policy applies to the Orrery Moments app (the "Application") for mobile devices, created by Paeliaq (the "Service Provider"). This service is provided "AS IS".
Orrery Moments does not collect, store or transmit any personal information. The dates, names and places you enter stay on your device, and the sky is drawn on your device without contacting any server.
Information Collection and Use
The Application does not collect any personal or usage data. It contains no analytics, advertising, crash-reporting or tracking software, does not create accounts, and does not request access to your location, contacts, camera or microphone.
The moments you create, including the dates, times, names, titles and places you enter, and your collections and settings, are stored only on your device. Places are looked up in a list built into the Application, so a place search never leaves your device. If you have enabled device backup, the operating system may include this data in your own backup - to iCloud on iPhone and iPad, or to your Google account on Android. This is controlled by your device settings, and the Service Provider has no access to it.
The Application uses the following device features only when you ask it to:
- Wallpaper (Android): to set the image you chose as your lock or home screen wallpaper, or to run the Application's live wallpaper.
- Photos (iPhone and iPad): add-only access, to save an image or Live Photo you asked to save. If you save a collection as an album (for a Photo Shuffle Lock Screen), iOS asks for wider Photos access, because the Application needs to find that album again to update it. It only works with the albums and images it created itself: saving a collection again replaces its earlier images, and Photos asks you before any are deleted. Your other photos are never read, copied or sent anywhere.
- Pictures (Android): to save an image you asked to save to your device's Pictures folder.
- Notifications: if you turn on a reminder, to tell you the day before a moment's anniversary. Reminders are scheduled on your device.
- Shortcuts (iPhone and iPad): if you set up the Orrery Moments Wallpaper shortcut, the Shortcuts app asks the Application for the current image and sets it as your wallpaper on your device.
If you choose to share an image from the Application, it is passed to the app you select and sent by you. The Service Provider does not receive a copy.
The Application does not use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to process your data.
Purchases
The Application offers a one-off purchase that removes the watermark. Purchases are handled entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store, under their own terms and privacy policies. The Application learns only whether the purchase has been made; the Service Provider never receives your payment details or identity.
Third-Party Access
No data from the Application is shared with third parties. Downloading, updating and purchasing in the Application through the Apple App Store or Google Play is subject to those stores' own privacy policies.
Data Retention and Deletion
Because no data is collected, the Service Provider holds nothing to retain or delete. You can delete any moment or collection in the Application, and uninstalling the Application removes everything it has stored on your device. Images you saved to your photos or pictures stay there until you delete them.
Children
The Application does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. If you have questions, please contact info@paeliaq.com.

Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time, for example if a future version of the Application adds features that handle data. Any changes will be published on this page with a new effective date.
