How Starrality handles
your information.
Starrality brings people together through social experiences, creative expression, conversations, and opportunities. This policy describes our practices across our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
This policy does not replace separate terms that may apply to a specific purchase, promotion, creator program, or third-party service.
Who we are
Starrality is operated by Para Vitae Inc. d/b/a Starrality (“Starrality,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We are responsible for the personal information we process in connection with our Services, except where another company acts independently under its own privacy terms.
Information we collect
Depending on how you use Starrality and which features are available, we may collect:
- Account and profile information: username, display name, email address, profile image, biography, profile links, account settings, and other details you provide.
- Content and interactions: posts, reels, photos, videos, audio, voice comments, GIFs, captions, reactions, comments, follows, friendships, saved items, and interactions with other users.
- Communications: private messages, group or Global Hangout conversations, shared media, and related metadata needed to deliver and protect communications.
- Device and technical information: browser or app type, operating system, device identifiers where available, IP address, crash diagnostics, log data, and performance information.
- Usage information: pages and features visited, engagement with content, approximate interaction times, and activity used to operate, measure, and improve the Services.
- Support and safety information: reports, appeals, communications with support, and information relevant to investigating abuse or enforcing our rules.
- Optional information: information you choose to submit for creator opportunities, events, commerce, or other programs, if those features are offered.
We may receive limited information from service providers or third parties when you use an integrated feature or choose to connect an external service. The information we collect depends on the features you use and the choices you make.
How we use information
We use information as reasonably necessary to:
- Create and manage accounts and provide profiles, feeds, search, social connections, and messaging.
- Host, process, display, and deliver user-generated content and media.
- Personalize content discovery, recommendations, and user experiences.
- Maintain security, prevent spam and fraud, review reports, and enforce our rules.
- Respond to support requests, send service communications, and provide account-related notices.
- Analyze reliability, diagnose technical issues, and improve product performance.
- Operate optional creator, event, shopping, advertising, or rewards features when available and used.
- Comply with legal obligations and protect the rights and safety of users and others.
Where required by applicable law, we rely on an appropriate legal basis, such as providing our Services under our terms, our legitimate interests, compliance with legal obligations, or your consent.
Sharing and visibility
Information you share publicly. Public profiles, public posts, comments, reactions, and other public activity may be viewed by other people, including people outside Starrality if the feature permits public access or sharing. Other users may copy or reshare content.
People you interact with. When you message someone or participate in a shared conversation, the intended recipients or participants can see the content and relevant account information, subject to the feature's settings.
Service providers. We may share information with vendors that help provide hosting, cloud storage, authentication, content delivery, analytics, customer support, security, payment processing, or other functions, subject to applicable agreements and safeguards.
Legal and safety reasons. We may disclose information when legally required, to respond to lawful requests, or when reasonably necessary to protect people, rights, property, and the integrity of our Services.
Corporate transactions. Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.
Third-party websites and services may have their own privacy policies, which govern their independent processing of your information.
Messages and user content
Starrality supports social content and may provide direct messaging, voice, media sharing, and group conversations. We process message content and related data to transmit, store, display, and protect these communications. Depending on the feature, authorized safety processes may also access content when needed to investigate reports, misuse, or legal requests.
Message privacy and encryption. Messages are not represented as end-to-end encrypted unless we explicitly state that a particular feature provides that protection.
When you delete content, it may cease to appear in the Services, but limited copies may remain temporarily in backups, security records, or where retention is legally required. Content already saved or shared by others may remain outside our control.
Shopping, advertising and rewards
Starrality is developing and may offer features that let people discover products, save items, engage with businesses, participate in creator programs, or view advertisements. If you use an available feature, we may process the information needed for that activity, such as product interactions, shopping preferences, merchant communications, purchase or transaction details, and eligibility information for rewards.
Payment details may be handled by third-party payment providers under their own terms and privacy policies. Payment providers may collect and process payment information directly, as described in their privacy notices. Additional notices or terms may apply to specific features when they become available.
Where advertising or analytics technologies require consent or offer opt-out rights, we will provide the relevant controls or disclosures as required by law. You can manage certain permissions and preferences through your device, browser or available in-app controls.
Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on your location and the features available, you may be able to:
- View and update certain profile details and account settings.
- Choose the audience for supported content and manage social connections.
- Delete individual content or request deletion of your account.
- Manage device permissions and certain notifications through your device or app settings.
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information.
- Object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent where applicable, or request a portable copy of eligible data.
- Opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information where applicable law grants that right.
To make a privacy request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity and may retain limited information where permitted or required by law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.
Account deletion: Use the account-deletion option in the app if available, or submit a deletion request through our designated deletion webpage: Account deletion. You may also contact us using the details below if you need assistance with your request.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Services, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, resolve disputes, protect users, and meet legal obligations. Retention periods vary by information type, account status, operational needs, and applicable law.
We use technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect personal information, such as access controls and appropriate security practices. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Please use a strong password and report suspected unauthorized account activity promptly.
Children and teens
Starrality is not intended for children under 13, or under a higher minimum age where required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children who are below the applicable minimum age. If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take appropriate steps to delete it or otherwise comply with applicable law.
Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided information contrary to this policy may contact us using the details below. Additional protections or restrictions may apply to teen accounts. We may apply additional safeguards to accounts belonging to younger users where appropriate or required by law.
International use and transfers
Starrality may be accessed from different countries. Information may be processed in the United States or other places where we or our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate mechanisms and safeguards for international transfers of personal information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in our Services, practices, or legal requirements. We will update the effective date above and provide additional notice when required. Continued use after an update is subject to applicable law and our Terms of Service.
