Parallax AI is a stargazing utility app developed and operated by Team EXCITING. The app provides a realistic, real-time sky map using device GPS and motion sensors, an AR camera overlay for object identification, a “Tonight’s Sky” discovery feed (including meteor showers), a Sky Time Machine for past/future viewing, a searchable star atlas, favorites, and a sky journal for logging observations. Parallax AI may also provide access to third-party links (e.g., Privacy Policy, social channels, and developer/app collection links).
1. Nature of the Service
Parallax AI is a general-purpose astronomy utility designed to help users explore and learn about the sky by providing features such as:
displaying a real-time sky map based on your location and device orientation,
enabling AR view (camera overlay) to help identify objects in the sky,
showing object information (e.g., names, categories, and visibility-related details),
highlighting “Tonight’s Sky” recommendations and meteor shower timing,
allowing time shifting (Sky Time Machine) to preview past/future sky positions,
offering a star atlas for browsing/search, favorites, and a sky journal for logging.
Parallax AI does not:
provide professional scientific, navigational, or safety guarantees,
guarantee perfect object identification or sensor accuracy in all environments,
guarantee that specific objects will be visible from your location at a given time,
guarantee uninterrupted availability of third-party device services (GPS, camera, sensors),
provide emergency guidance or safety-critical instructions for outdoor activities.
Important note (Educational / Observation Aid):
Parallax AI is an educational stargazing tool. Visibility depends on factors such as weather, light pollution, horizon blockage, and device sensor performance. Nothing in Parallax AI should be treated as professional advice (including scientific, navigational, legal, financial, or safety advice).
2. Usage & Safety Notice
You agree to use Parallax AI responsibly. In particular:
Do not use the app in situations where phone usage is unsafe or illegal (e.g., driving, operating machinery).
If Parallax AI requires system permissions (e.g., location, camera, motion sensors), you are responsible for enabling/disabling them and understanding your device’s permission prompts.
AR and live positioning accuracy may vary depending on device hardware, OS behavior, sensor calibration, magnetic interference, and environmental conditions.
“Tonight’s Sky” and meteor shower info is provided on a best-effort basis and may not reflect local visibility (clouds, haze, city lights) or last-minute astronomical factors.
Parallax AI is “best effort.” The app may not match the sky perfectly in all conditions.
3. Limitation of Liability
Team EXCITING is not responsible for, and does not guarantee:
perfect accuracy of object positions, AR alignment, or object identification in every situation,
that celestial objects will be visible at the time indicated (visibility can be affected by conditions),
that Parallax AI will work identically across all devices, OS versions, or vendor-specific sensor systems,
any decisions, outcomes, or user actions based on app information (e.g., travel plans, outdoor activities),
issues caused by third-party services or device features (GPS availability, camera access, sensor drift),
any device behavior such as battery use, heat, performance changes, or OS-level interruptions.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Team EXCITING bears no liability for direct or indirect damages arising from use of Parallax AI, including but not limited to:
missed sightings, incorrect identifications, or inaccurate alignment,
unexpected interruptions, crashes, UI overlaps, or permission failures,
losses or disputes resulting from reliance on app-provided sky information.
Use of Parallax AI is at your own risk.
4. Data & Privacy
Parallax AI is designed to operate primarily as an on-device utility. In general:
The app does not require an account or login.
The app does not upload your observation logs, favorites, or settings to Team EXCITING servers by default.
Core features are intended to run locally on your device.
On-Device Data
The app may store certain information locally, such as:
favorites, sky journal logs (notes, ratings, timestamps), app preferences (e.g., display mode), last used views and basic settings.
This data is used only to operate the app and improve your local user experience. Deleting the app typically removes locally stored settings and logs.
Location & Sensor Data
Parallax AI may request access to location and motion sensors to provide real-time sky positioning. Location and sensor access are used to power app features and are not automatically transmitted to Team EXCITING servers by default.
Links & Third-Party Destinations
Settings may include links to third-party destinations (e.g., Privacy Policy web page, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Telegram, or a developer/app collection page). When you open these links:
your device connects directly to third-party services,
those services may collect data under their own terms and privacy policies,
any such collection is outside the control of Team EXCITING.
You are responsible for reviewing the terms/policies of any third-party services you choose to use.
Third-Party SDKs
If third-party SDKs (e.g., analytics or crash reporting) are integrated in the future, they may collect limited technical data such as:
device model and OS version,
app version, crash logs, basic performance metrics,
approximate usage patterns (e.g., session count, screen views).
Any such changes will be described in an updated policy.
5. Service Changes & Availability
Parallax AI may be updated, modified, or discontinued at any time. Features may change due to:
OS updates,
camera/location/sensor permission policy changes,
astronomical data source updates or model improvements,
security or performance improvements.
We do not guarantee continuous availability of any feature.
6. Consent
By installing or using Parallax AI, you acknowledge and agree that:
Parallax AI is an educational stargazing utility, not a professional observatory or navigation tool,
outcomes (e.g., accuracy, AR alignment, object visibility) are not guaranteed and may vary,
you are responsible for safe and lawful use and for understanding device permissions,
Team EXCITING is not liable for consequences arising from device/OS constraints or environmental conditions.
If you do not agree with these terms, you should not install or use Parallax AI.
