What We Collect

This app uses PostHog analytics to understand how features are being used. We collect:

• App events: App launches, settings changes, feature usage patterns
• Device information: Device type (iPhone/iPad), OS version, app version
• Session data: How long you use the app, which screens you visit

What We Don't Collect

• No location data
• No content you create (compositions, saved files, planet data)
• No user identifiers (uses anonymous device ID only)

Why We Collect It
