Third-Party Services

OpenAI API

Our chat feature uses the OpenAI API to provide conversational responses about your horoscope analysis. When you use the chat feature, only your horoscope calculation results (planetary positions, zodiac signs) and your chat messages are sent to OpenAI's servers for processing. We never send your full name, email address, or other personally identifying information to OpenAI - only the minimum data necessary for generating astrological interpretations (data minimization principle). OpenAI's use of this data is governed by their own Privacy Policy. We recommend reviewing their policy to understand how they handle data.

Stripe (Payment Processing)

We use Stripe to process payments. When you make a purchase, your payment information (card details, billing address) is collected and processed directly by Stripe. We do not store your full card details on our servers. We only store your Stripe customer ID and subscription status. Stripe's handling of your data is governed by their Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website. GA4 collects anonymized usage data such as pages visited, session duration, and general geographic region. Google Analytics is only activated if you accept cookies via our cookie consent banner. If you decline, no analytics data is collected. Google's use of this data is governed by their Privacy Policy. We do not use any advertising networks or share your personal data with advertisers or data brokers.

Data Storage and Security

All personal data is stored on our local server infrastructure. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted password storage, CSRF protection, and secure session management.

Cookies

We use the following types of cookies:

Essential Cookies (always active)
