Privacy Policy for Astrocartography Calculator

Introduction

Welcome to Astrocartography Calculator — an advanced astrology platform that generates personalized astrocartography charts and maps using professional-grade planetary calculations with the open-source astronomy-engine library and AI-powered interpretation technology. Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using Astrocartography Calculator.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

1. Birth Data and Chart Calculation

   • What We Collect: Birth date, time, and location data that you input for chart and astrocartography tools. Some tools (such as current planetary position tables) only send an optional date/time and do not require birth place.
   • How We Process: When you run a calculator, your inputs are sent to our servers so we can compute results using astronomy-engine (geocentric astronomical positions and related chart math). The server returns the chart or table to your browser. AI features, where offered, may process chart summaries to generate interpretations.
   • Storage: We do not maintain a permanent birth-data archive for anonymous calculator sessions. Request data is used to produce your result for that session. If you create an account or use paid features, additional data handling may apply as described below.

2. Account Information (if you create an account)

   • What We Collect: Your name, email address, and other basic details you provide.
   • Purpose: To manage your account, deliver customer support, and provide any account‑related features you opt into.

3. Usage Details

   • What We Collect: Interactions within the app (e.g., features used, settings toggled), aggregated session data, and timestamps.
   • Purpose: To understand feature usage, improve performance, and guide product decisions.

4. Device Information

   • What We Collect: Device type, operating system, browser type/version, and basic technical diagnostics.
   • Purpose: To ensure compatibility, debug issues, and optimize performance across devices.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

   • What We Store: Preferences (e.g., theme, locale, recent settings), session state, and optional analytics identifiers.
   • Purpose: To keep the experience fast and consistent, remember your choices, and analyze anonymized usage trends.

6. Payment and Billing Information (if applicable)

   • What We Collect: Payment method details, billing address, and transaction metadata if you purchase premium features.
   • Purpose: To process transactions, manage entitlements, and comply with financial laws. Payments are handled through trusted providers.

Data Storage and Security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Calculator inputs are transmitted securely to our servers for computation and are not kept as a long-term birth-data profile for anonymous tool use. For any account or billing data we do store, we employ encryption in transit, access controls, and monitoring. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data:

• Service Providers: With vetted vendors who assist in operating the service (e.g., AI processing, analytics, payments), bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with laws, regulations, or valid legal processes.
• Protection: To protect the rights, property, or safety of our users, the public, or Astrocartography Calculator.
• Aggregated Insights: We may share anonymized, aggregated statistics that do not identify individuals.

Your Choices and Rights

• Preferences: You can manage cookies/local storage through your browser settings. Some features may rely on these settings to function.
• Access and Deletion: If you have an account, you can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information.
• Opt‑out: You may opt out of non‑essential analytics where available.

Children's Privacy

Astrocartography Calculator is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and update the effective date, if provided. Your continued use of the service after changes become effective signifies your acceptance of the revised policy.
