1. Introduction

CelestiAI ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have in relation to that information. By using our website and services you agree to the practices described in this policy.

See our Terms & Disclaimer for the scope and limitations of readings.

2. Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to provide personalised astrology services:

• Personal details you enter: name, date and time of birth, birth location (which we convert to coordinates), current location (if provided), and timezone information.
• Device and usage information: IP address, browser/device type, browser settings, and technical logs if recorded on the server for debugging or security.
• Local storage data: birth details and user preferences saved in your browser's localStorage to make the site convenient to use.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to:

• Generate and display your birth chart, horoscopes, transit analyses and related astrological services.
• Perform the astronomical calculations needed to produce readings (planetary positions, house placements, aspects, transits).
• Improve and debug the service, detect and prevent fraud, and ensure site security.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

We do not use your personal data for marketing purposes unless you explicitly opt in.

4. Legal bases for processing (EU/UK)

Where applicable, our legal bases for processing personal data are:

• Performance of a contract or provision of a service (processing necessary to deliver the reading).
• Consent (for non‑essential cookies or optional features you opt into).
• Legitimate interests (improving the service, security and fraud prevention), after balancing those interests with your privacy rights.

5. Local storage and server storage

Local storage: Birth details and preferences you enter are stored locally in your browser's localStorage so you can revisit without re‑entering them. This data remains on your device until you delete it via your browser or our "clear saved data" control.

Server processing and logs: Calculations are performed in real time. We do not permanently store your birth details on our servers. Temporary server logs or error reports may be retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging. If account or server‑save features are added in the future, we will update this policy with specific retention periods.

6. Data sharing, third parties, and advertising

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing without your explicit consent.

We may share the minimal information required with service providers who help deliver the service, including third‑party APIs for geocoding and time zone calculations. Current providers include Google Geocoding API and Google Time Zone API. These providers are independent controllers and are subject to their own privacy policies.

We currently use Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage (e.g. page views and feature interactions). Google Analytics sets non‑essential cookies that help us see which parts of the site are most useful so we can improve performance and usability. We do not use Google Analytics for personalised advertising and we do not send your entered birth details to Google. Where required by law we request consent before loading these analytics cookies, and you can opt out at any time using your browser settings or Google’s opt‑out tools.

7. Cookies, local storage and tracking

Essential storage: We use localStorage and, where necessary, essential cookies to operate the site and remember your chart and preferences. These are required for the service to function.

Non‑essential cookies (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to collect aggregate usage statistics (such as pages visited and general interaction patterns). This helps us improve reliability and user experience. These cookies are not required for core functionality and do not store your birth details. Where consent is required, we ask before loading them. You can decline, block, or later remove them without affecting access to essential features.

Opt‑out: For third‑party ad tracking, you may opt out using ad provider tools (for example Google's ad settings) or browser extensions that block tracking.

8. Automated decision‑making and AI

Readings are generated using algorithmic and automated processes and may use AI‑assisted interpretation. These automated processes synthesise astronomical calculations and interpretive rules to produce the text you see. If you would like human review or an explanation of a specific automated decision that materially affects you, contact us and we will assist.

9. Data retention

• Local storage: Data you save in your browser remains there until you delete it.
• Server logs: Temporary logs and diagnostic data are retained for up to 30 days.
• Aggregated/anonymised analytics: If used, aggregated analytics data may be retained for up to 24 months.

We will update retention details if we introduce server‑side account features or other storage changes.

10. Children's privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected personal information from a child under 13, please contact us and we will promptly delete the information. If local law requires a higher minimum age, we will comply with that requirement.

11. Your rights and how to exercise them

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: request deletion of your personal data (we will remove any server‑stored copies and can advise how to clear local storage).
• Restriction / objection: request restriction of processing or object to certain processing where applicable.
• Portability: request a copy of your personal data in a commonly used machine‑readable format.

To exercise any right, contact us. We aim to respond within 30 days. If you are in the EU/UK you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

12. How to delete or export your data

Local deletion: To remove birth details stored in your browser, clear site data or localStorage for celestiai.uk in your browser settings, or use the "Clear saved data" control on our site if provided.

Server data: If you believe we hold any server‑stored personal data about you, contact us to request deletion or an export. We will confirm receipt and typically complete deletions or exports within 30 days unless law requires otherwise.

13. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and secure hosting. However, no system is completely secure. If we become aware of a data breach that creates a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.

14. International transfers

Some third‑party services we rely on may transfer or process data outside your jurisdiction. Where required, we will use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect data transferred internationally. Contact us for details.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy with an updated "Last updated" date.
