What personal data we collect and why

We collect the following personal data from registered users:
– Birth date (date only, no time)
– Birthplace time zone

Purpose and legal basis

This data is collected solely to generate accurate, calendar-based personality or astrological results in our free Flask-based application. Legal basis: Performance of a contract (the service you request by registering and using the app) – Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We do not collect birth time, location data beyond time zone, or any other sensitive personal information. We do not use this data for marketing, profiling beyond the app results, or any other purpose. We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects under Article 22 GDPR.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for site functionality. Non-essential cookies require your consent via our cookie banner.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Data sharing and transfers

Your data is stored on our WordPress server and shared with our separate Flask application server (hosted on Digital Ocean) solely for generating app results. No third-party sharing occurs unless required by law. Where data is transferred outside the EU, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

How long we retain your data

We retain your birth date and time zone as long as your account is active. If you delete your account or request erasure, we will delete this data promptly (except where we are legally required to retain it). Metadata (e.g., registration date) may be kept longer for security/audit purposes.

Your rights under GDPR

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
– Right to access a copy of your data
– Right to rectification (correct inaccurate data)
– Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
– Right to restrict processing
– Right to object to processing
– Right to data portability
– Right to withdraw consent (where applicable) at any time, without affecting prior processing

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month (free of charge in most cases). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (e.g., ICO in the UK, CNIL in France, etc.).

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
