Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 18, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Banshee Technologies S.L. ("we", "us", or "our"), a company registered in Spain, handles information in connection with The Atlas ("the App"), available on the Apple App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, and with the owners registry and web pages that support it.

We are the data controller for the personal data described here. You can reach us at support@banshee.pro.

2. The App, and Owning a Place

The Atlas is an explorable universe generated on your device from a single seed: the same galaxies, stars and planets for everyone, in real time. Exploring it requires no account and sends nothing about you to us. The App is licensed to you under Apple's Standard End User License Agreement; this page adds what is specific to The Atlas.

Optionally, you can own a planet or a whole star system of The Atlas ("a place"). To create an account you must be at least 14 years old, or have the permission of a parent or guardian. While you own a place:

• You are its only owner in The Atlas: nobody else can claim it.
• The name you give it replaces its generated name for every explorer, with your username, your note and your seal, and you can change them from the App.
• A star system includes all its planets: you can name each of them too, and none can be claimed by anyone else.
• You can save, print and share images of its certificate of ownership and its art print, for personal, non-commercial use.

A place is not real-world property. It is a name, a note and a seal within The Atlas, a fictional, procedurally generated universe. It grants no title or right over any real celestial body, no ownership of the App, and has no value outside the App. It is not an investment, a financial product or a crypto-asset, and cannot be sold or transferred.

Purchases. Places are bought through Apple's in-app purchases, at the price shown in the App, once, with no subscription. Payment and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms. A place and its images are digital content delivered right after purchase: by completing a purchase you ask for that immediate delivery and acknowledge that, once the place is yours, the statutory right of withdrawal no longer applies, without affecting Apple's refund policies or your other rights as a consumer. If a purchase is refunded, its place is freed. If, exceptionally, a place is taken while you pay, your payment is kept as a credit for another place of the same kind.

We work to keep The Atlas and its registry available, but cannot guarantee it will always be. If we ever stop operating the owners registry, we will announce it in the App at least 90 days in advance.

3. Information We Collect

If you only explore, we collect nothing. If you sign in and own places, our registry keeps:

• Your Apple user identifier: the stable, anonymous identifier Sign in with Apple provides for The Atlas. We never ask Apple for your name or email address, so we never receive them.
• Your account: a random identifier of our own, the date the account was created, and the date your username last changed.
• Your username: chosen by you, and public: it is shown as the owner of your places, to every explorer, in the App and on our web pages.
• Your places: which planets and star systems you own, since when, and the name, note and seal you give each one. These are public.
• Your purchases: the App Store transaction identifier, the product (planet or star system), the date and, if it happens, the date of a refund. We never see your payment details.
• Reports you send: the place you report, your reason (optional) and the date. Reports are not public.

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, photos, advertising identifier (IDFA), browsing activity or any analytics.

Your session is kept in your device's Keychain so you stay signed in. The connection details any internet service sees (such as your IP address) are handled by our hosting provider, Cloudflare, for delivery and security; we do not store them in the registry.

4. What Is Public, and the Rules for It

The point of owning a place is that everyone sees it. The following are visible to every user of The Atlas, in the App, on the web explorer and on the page that a place's link or QR code opens (banshee.pro/atlas/p/…):

• Your username, as the owner of your places
• The names, notes and seals of your places, and since when they are yours

Do not include personal information (yours or anyone else's) in usernames, names or notes. Our filters refuse links, email addresses, phone numbers and social media handles.

What you write must not be illegal, sexual or pornographic, hateful or harassing, spam or advertising, point to piracy, or impersonate others or infringe their rights. You keep the rights to it, and let us store, show and reproduce it (in the App, on our web pages, on certificates and art prints) for as long as it is part of The Atlas. You are responsible for it.

Moderation. Anyone signed in can report a name or note from the App, or by writing to support@banshee.pro. We review reports and may hide or edit content that breaks these rules, block accounts from buying, editing and reporting, and, for serious or repeated breaches, take back the places involved, without refund except where the law requires one. Hidden content is shown to nobody but kept, in case it must be handed to the authorities.

5. Data Stored Only on Your Device

The App also keeps, on your device only: your settings (graphics quality, view options, sound), your saved Stargate places, where your ship is, and the photos, certificates and art prints you choose to save to your photo library. We have no access to them.

6. How We Use It, and Why

• To provide what you buy (performance of a contract): your account, your places, their names, notes and seals, and checking that each purchase is real and yours.
• To keep The Atlas safe (legitimate interest): filtering and reviewing names and notes, handling reports, hiding content that breaks the rules and blocking abusive accounts.
• To keep accounting records (legal obligation): purchase records, as tax and accounting law require.

We do not sell your data, use it for advertising or profiling, or share it with advertisers.

7. Service Providers

a) Apple — Sign in with Apple identifies you to us without your name or email. Purchases are processed entirely by Apple's App Store. Apple's privacy policy: apple.com/legal/privacy.

b) RevenueCat — manages the App's in-app purchases and lets our registry check that a purchase is real. RevenueCat receives the purchase details from Apple's StoreKit and our random account identifier, nothing else about you. RevenueCat's privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy.

c) Cloudflare — hosts the owners registry (Cloudflare Workers and D1) and our web pages. Cloudflare processes the data in section 3 on our behalf. Cloudflare's privacy policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

These providers may process data outside the European Economic Area; where they do, they rely on safeguards recognised by the GDPR, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Refund requests. If you ask Apple for a refund of an in-app purchase, Apple may ask us for information about that purchase to help it decide. By making in-app purchases, you consent to us sharing, through RevenueCat, limited information about the purchase with Apple, such as whether the place was delivered and our refund preference. No name, email address or other personal information is included. If a purchase is refunded, the place it paid for is freed.

8. Device Permissions

• Add to Photos: to save the photos, certificates and art prints you choose to keep. The App can only add to your library; it cannot see or read it.
• Network: to load who owns what, and for signing in and purchases. The universe itself is generated on your device.

The App does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts, calendar, health data or Bluetooth.

9. Advertising & Tracking

The App contains no advertising and no analytics, and does not track you across apps or websites. It does not access the IDFA.

10. Retention and Deleting Your Account

We keep your account and places for as long as you keep your account. You can delete your account at any time from the App (Your account → Delete account). Deleting it:

• Deletes your account, username, places (with their names, notes and seals) and the reports you sent, and frees your places for others to claim
• Revokes The Atlas's access to your Sign in with Apple
• Cannot be undone, and purchases are not refunded

Purchase records are kept, no longer linked to you, for as long as accounting and tax law require.

11. Your Rights Under GDPR

As a company based in the European Union (Spain), we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Spain's data protection law. You have the right to:

• Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification — Correct inaccurate data (you can change your username and your places' names and notes in the App)
• Erasure — Delete your data (you can delete your account in the App)
• Restriction — Request restriction of processing
• Portability — Receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Objection — Object to processing based on legitimate interest

Write to support@banshee.pro from any address and tell us your username; we may ask you to confirm the request from the App so we know it is yours.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Spain, this is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) — www.aepd.es.

12. Children

Exploring The Atlas is suitable for everyone. To create an account and own places you must be at least 14 years old (the age of digital consent in Spain), or have the permission of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly hold personal data of children under 14 without that permission; if you believe we do, contact us and we will delete it.

Because the App offers in-app purchases, we recommend that parents and guardians use Apple's Family Sharing, Ask to Buy and Screen Time.

13. Security

The registry only accepts requests from the App and checks every sign-in with Apple and every purchase with RevenueCat. Sessions are signed and expire. Data travels encrypted (HTTPS) and is stored with Cloudflare.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy, for example when The Atlas gains new features. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date; important changes will also be announced in the App.
