ETB Stars PremiumPrivacy Policy
Last updated: October 22, 2026
This policy explains what ETB Stars Premium ("we", "us") collects when you order Telegram Stars or Telegram Premium through our app, why we collect it, and who can see it.
What we collect
From your order:
- The Telegram username that should receive the gift.
- The package you chose and the amount you paid.
- Your Telebirr transaction number.
- The payment screenshot you upload. It may show your name, phone number and account details, so you can cover anything unrelated to the payment, such as your balance, before uploading.
From Telegram: when you open the app inside Telegram, Telegram gives us your Telegram name, username and numeric ID. We use these to identify who placed the order.
In our database: your orders (package, amount, receiver username, transaction number and status) and your Telegram name, username and ID are saved in a database so you can see your order history in the Orders tab on any device, and so we can stop a transaction number from being used twice. Every customer gets a personal referral link. If you opened the app through a friend's link, we save who invited you so they can earn a bonus on your orders for 30 days after your first order. The person who invited you sees only counts and the packages ordered, never your name or username. The payment screenshot is sent to the private channel only and is not stored in the database. If you ask to withdraw referral earnings, we also save the amount, your Telebirr number and the status of the request.
On your device: while you are filling in an order, the package, username and transaction number are kept temporarily so you do not lose them when you leave to pay in Telebirr. They are removed when you place the order, close the form, or after 12 hours.
We do not use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, and we do not ask for your Telegram password or any Telebirr PIN. We never need them.
How we use it
- To check that your Telebirr payment arrived.
- To deliver the gift to the username you gave us.
- To answer questions and resolve problems with an order.
- To prevent fraud, such as fake receipts or reused transaction numbers.
- To message you through our bot when your order is delivered.
Who can see it
Each order, including the receipt and buyer details, is posted to a private Telegram channel. It is visible to us and to the delivery partners who fulfil orders for us. We do not sell your information and we do not share it for advertising.
We rely on service providers to run the app: Telegram delivers messages and the app inside Telegram, and Netlify hosts the website and processes order submissions, and Supabase stores the order database. These providers may process technical data such as your IP address under their own policies. We may also disclose information if the law requires it.
How long we keep it
We keep order records, including receipts, for as long as we need them to complete your order, handle disputes and prevent fraud. You can ask us to delete your order data at any time. We may keep what we are required to keep, or what we need to protect against fraud.
Your choices
- Ask us what we hold about you, or ask us to delete it, by messaging @Etb_Stars_Support_bot.
Security
Orders are sent over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection. Access to the private order channel is limited to people we choose. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
Our service is not intended for children. If you think a child has placed an order, contact us and we will remove the data.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date above. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
