Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 6, 2026

AstralWise ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website astralwise.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our services. By accessing or using AstralWise, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Birth data: Date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth — required to calculate your astrological chart.
  • Account information: If you create a premium account, we collect your email address and display name.
  • Payment information: If you subscribe to our premium plan, payment details (credit card number, billing address) are collected and processed exclusively by our payment processor, Stripe. We never store your full payment card details on our servers.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage data: Pages visited, features used, time spent on site, and referring URLs.
  • Device information: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language preferences.
  • IP address: Collected by our hosting provider (Cloudflare) and analytics service for security and aggregate analytics purposes.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • Chart calculation: Your birth data is used solely to generate your astrological natal chart, compatibility reports, and personalized interpretations.
  • Service personalization: To remember your chart data so you do not have to re-enter it each visit.
  • Account management: To create and manage your premium account, process payments, and provide customer support.
  • Analytics: To understand how visitors use our site so we can improve our features, content, and user experience.
  • Communication: To send transactional emails (account confirmation, payment receipts) and, only if you opt in, occasional newsletters about new features or content.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Data Storage

3.1 Local Storage (Browser)

When you use AstralWise without creating an account, your birth data and chart preferences are stored in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

3.2 Server-Side Storage

If you create a premium account, your account information and saved charts are stored securely using Cloudflare KV (key-value storage) and Cloudflare D1 (database). These services are hosted on Cloudflare's global network infrastructure, which provides enterprise-grade security, encryption at rest, and compliance with industry standards.

3.3 Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it for a longer period (e.g., financial transaction records).

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

4.1 Stripe (Payment Processing)

We use Stripe to process premium subscription payments. When you make a payment, your card details are sent directly to Stripe's secure servers. We receive only a tokenized reference, your email, and the transaction status. We never see or store your full card number.

4.2 Nominatim (Geocoding)

We use the Nominatim open-source geocoding service (operated by the OpenStreetMap Foundation) to convert your birth place into geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) for chart calculation. Nominatim does not store or log individual queries for tracking purposes.

4.3 Cloudflare (Hosting & CDN)

Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare may process your IP address and basic request metadata for security (DDoS protection) and performance (caching) purposes.

4.4 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-0GYDZZ16L9) to collect anonymized usage statistics. Google Analytics uses cookies to track page views, session duration, and user behavior in aggregate. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Cookies

AstralWise uses a minimal number of cookies:

  • Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*): Used to distinguish unique visitors and track session data. These cookies expire after 2 years and 24 hours, respectively.
  • Cloudflare cookies (__cf_bm): Used for bot management and security. This cookie expires after 30 minutes of inactivity.

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies beyond those listed above.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: You may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal data. If you have a premium account, you can delete your account from your account settings, or contact us directly.
  • Portability: You may request a machine-readable export of your data.
  • Objection: You may object to certain types of data processing, such as analytics.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information below. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

AstralWise is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete that information promptly.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS encryption for all data in transit, secure storage on Cloudflare's infrastructure with encryption at rest, and access controls limiting who can access stored data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Data Transfers

AstralWise is hosted on Cloudflare's global network, which means your data may be processed in data centers located outside your country of residence. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to facilities operated by Cloudflare and our other service providers, which may be in jurisdictions with different data protection laws than your own.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of AstralWise after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
