The following Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) discloses the privacy practices of StarlightIQ, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) with respect to https://starlightiq.com and all affiliated sub-domain websites and applications owned or operated by Company, including all content, functionality, and services offered on or through such websites and applications (together, the “Platform”). This Policy is incorporated into and subject to the Company’s Terms of Use, including but not limited to terms waiving liability and requiring arbitration of disputes.
As part of the normal operation of the Platform, we collect and, in some cases, disclose information about you. This Policy describes the information we collect about you and what may happen to that information.
By clicking "I Agree," checking the consent box, or otherwise affirmatively indicating your acceptance during the registration or subscription process, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Policy. Your click or affirmative action constitutes your express consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described herein.
If you are eighteen (18) years of age or younger, you may not use the Platform for any purpose at any time.
We may collect the following information about you:
We collect information that you provide to us on the Platform. We also collect information about you through automatic data collection technologies. This information may include device information and usage information. For example, we use "cookies" on certain pages of the Platform. Cookies are small files that can be used to track a user's steps or automatically generate a user's password. Among other things, cookies allow you to enter your password less frequently during a session and can help us provide information targeted to your interests. Cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on the Platform. Most cookies are automatically deleted at the end of a session. Some cookies stay on your computer until you manually delete them. You may decline our cookies if your browser permits, although your use of the Platform may then be restricted.
We may use your information in the following ways:
Except as provided in Section 9 of this Policy, we may disclose and sell aggregated information about our users without restriction, including to advertisers and analytics companies. We may also disclose any categories of personal information about you as follows:
We will keep your personal information while you have an account with us or while we are providing products or services to you. Thereafter, we will keep your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When it is no longer necessary to retain your personal information, we will securely anonymize or delete it in accordance with applicable law.
We maintain records of your consent to this Policy, the Terms of Use, and any other consent you agree to, including the date and time of your acceptance, the version of the record to which you consented, and your identifying account information. These records are retained for the purpose of demonstrating your informed consent and may be used as evidence in any dispute between you and the Company.
We use commercially reasonable practices that are consistent with standards in the industry to protect your personal information from accidental loss or destruction or from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, mobile application, system, electronic storage, or online service is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that your personal information collected by the Platform will remain private. For example, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications. We limit access to your personal information to those who have a genuine business need to access it. We also have procedures in place to address any suspected data security breach. We will notify you via email of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so. We cannot guarantee that a breach will not occur.
YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROVIDE ANY AND ALL UPLOADED CONTENT TO THE PLATFORM, AND THAT YOUR PROVISION OF UPLOADED CONTENT, AND OUR COLLECTION AND USE THEREOF PURSUANT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, DOES NOT VIOLATE ANY LAW OR ANY CONTRACTUAL, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR OTHER LEGAL RIGHT OF ANY THIRD PARTY. IF OUR USE OF YOUR UPLOADED CONTENT FOR THE PURPOSES OF (a) THE DISCLOSURE AND SALE OF AGGREGATED DATA OR (b) THE TRAINING OF ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE, WOULD VIOLATE ANY LAW OR ANY CONTRACTUAL, INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, OR OTHER LEGAL RIGHT OF A THIRD PARTY, YOU MUST OPT OUT OF SUCH USE WHEN PROVIDING YOUR UPLOADED CONTENT. As set forth more fully in the Terms of Use, the Company has no liability for any damages, losses, liabilities, or claims arising from or relating to your provision of Uploaded Content and the Company’s collection and use thereof.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, update, or delete your personal information; the right to restrict or object to certain processing of your personal information; the right to data portability; and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information provided below. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law.
We may revise and update the Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. For material changes, we will provide notice via email and a prominent notification on the Platform when you next log in, and we will require you to accept the updated Policy before continuing to use the Platform. For non-material changes, we will post the updated Policy and update the “Last Updated” date above, and your continued use of the Platform constitutes your acceptance.
If you have any questions about this Policy or the information we hold about you, please contact us by mail or email at:

The following platform-specific and regional disclosures supplement the Policy above and govern data we obtain from social platforms you connect, our subprocessors, and your rights under applicable privacy laws.
When you connect a social account, we store an OAuth access token (and, where applicable, a refresh token) plus only the fields we display. Per platform:
We share data with service providers who process it on our behalf under written agreements:
StarlightIQ's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. See the policy at developers.google.com/terms/api-services-user-data-policy. Our use of YouTube data is also governed by the YouTube API Services Terms of Service. You can revoke StarlightIQ's access at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions. By using StarlightIQ's YouTube integration you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service , and your data is handled in accordance with the Google Privacy Policy.
Data obtained from Instagram and Facebook is used solely to power the features you see in StarlightIQ (profile display, audience analytics, content history). We comply with the Meta Platform Terms and Developer Policies. Request deletion of platform-sourced data at any time on our Data Deletion page.
Our integration complies with the TikTok Developer Terms of Service and the TikTok Developer Platform Guidelines. We request only the minimum scopes needed (user.info.basic, user.info.profile, user.info.stats, video.list) and retain no data beyond what you can see in the dashboard.
Our use of X data is governed by the X Developer Agreement and Policy. If you delete a post on X, we will delete our cached copy of that post within 24 hours of the deletion being discoverable via the X API.
Our use of LinkedIn data complies with the LinkedIn API Terms of Use. We use the Sign In with LinkedIn (OpenID Connect) product and collect only profile identity fields (sub, name, email, picture).
Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, the legal bases on which we rely are: contract (to deliver the service), consent (to connect each social platform, for optional email marketing, and for non-essential cookies), legitimate interest (security, fraud prevention, and product analytics, balanced against your rights), and legal obligation (tax, accounting, and lawful requests). You may access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, or port your data, and withdraw consent at any time, and you may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA), California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion, to correct inaccurate information, to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising these rights. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@starlightiq.com.
Deletion is normally completed within 30 days. Backups that contain your data are overwritten on a rolling basis and fully purged within 90 days.
StarlightIQ is operated from the United States. For transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the UK International Data Transfer Addendum, together with supplementary safeguards (encryption in transit and at rest).
