Stardot — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 15 October 2026
Stardot ("the app", Google Play package com.dailywell.stardot) is developed by DailyWell ("we"), published on Google Play under the developer account Stone Creek Apps. This policy explains what happens to your data when you use Stardot.
Summary
- Stardot has no account system, no analytics, no advertising SDKs and no trackers.
- We do not collect, receive or store any of your personal data on our servers. Stardot has no servers.
- Everything Stardot knows stays on your device: your download history, your settings and the files you save.
What Stardot processes on your device
| Data | Why | Where it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Links you paste or share to Stardot | To find the media you asked for | Your device. The link is requested directly from the service it belongs to. |
| Download history (titles, captions, sizes, file locations, status) | So you can see, open and manage what you saved | A local database inside the app. Deleted when you clear history or uninstall. |
| Saved files (videos, photos, audio) | It is what you asked Stardot to save | Your device storage (gallery folders or the folder you choose) |
| Files in the private folder (only if you move or save files there) | To keep them out of your gallery and other apps | Stardot's own app storage on your device, shown only after your phone's screen lock confirms it is you. The files are not encrypted. Uninstalling Stardot or clearing its storage deletes them. |
| Thumbnails | To show previews in the library | The app's cache (for private files: the private folder), deleted on uninstall |
| Settings (theme, quality, folders, counters used for tips) | To remember your preferences | App storage on your device |
| Your rating answers (the stars you chose, when Stardot last asked, and the reasons you picked after a rating of 1–3 stars) | So Stardot does not ask again too soon, or at all once you have answered | App storage on your device. Nothing is sent. "Write to us" only opens your own e-mail app with a draft; you decide whether to send it. A rating of 4–5 stars opens Stardot's Google Play page, where Google's own terms apply. |
| Sign-in session for supported services (only if you choose to sign in) | Some posts are only available to signed-in users | The system WebView cookie store on your device. Stardot never sees or stores your password; you sign in on the service's own page. You can sign out in Settings → Privacy. |
| Clipboard | To offer a link you copied | On Android 12+, Stardot reads clipboard text only when you tap Paste or the offered link. On Android 11 and older, Stardot reads it when its home screen opens, to offer a copied link. The text is never stored or sent anywhere. So that a clip you used or dismissed is not offered again, Stardot keeps one code for it on your device. On Android 8 and newer that code is made only from the clip's description (when it was copied, its label and its type), never from its text. On Android 7 it is a one-way hash of the copied link combined with a random value unique to your installation; other copied text gives no code, so nothing of it is kept. |
| WhatsApp status folder (only if you choose a folder) | To show and save statuses | Access is limited to the folder you pick through the system file picker |
Network connections
When you analyze or download a link, your device connects directly to the service hosting the content (for example the platform's website or content delivery network). Those services receive the technical information any web request carries, such as your IP address and the requested address. Their own privacy policies apply. Stardot blocks connections to local/private network addresses and requires HTTPS.
Stardot does not send your data to us or to any third party for analytics or advertising.
Sharing
Stardot does not share your data. When you use Share on a saved file, the file goes to the app you choose. That happens at your request.
Backups
Stardot excludes its data from Android cloud backup.
Children
Stardot is not directed at children under 13.
Your choices
- Clear your download history in Settings (your saved files remain).
- Sign out of all services in Settings → Privacy.
- Empty the private folder in Settings → Privacy (after your phone's screen lock confirms it is you).
- Uninstall the app to remove all app data (saved media files in your gallery remain until you delete them; files in the private folder are deleted with the app).
Future changes
If we ever add features that process data differently (for example, advertising to support development), we will update this policy and the Play Store Data safety section before that version is released, and explain the change in the release notes.
