Birth Stellar (the “Website” or “Service”), operated by birthstellar.com (“we”, “us”, “our”), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit birthstellar.com, create an account, purchase services, receive personalized astrological content (birth charts, horoscopes, forecasts, etc.), or otherwise interact with our Services.

By using the Services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Account creation: name (or username), email address, password.
  • Personalized astrology services: birth date, exact birth time (if provided), birth place (city/country or coordinates), and sometimes gender or other optional details for chart accuracy.
  • Purchases: billing name, address (if required), and payment details (handled securely by third-party processors; we do not store full card numbers).
  • Communications: information you provide when contacting support, subscribing to newsletters, or submitting comments/forms.

B. Automatically Collected Information

  • Device and usage data: IP address, browser type/version, operating system, referring/exit pages, date/time stamps, pages viewed, time spent, and clickstream data.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see our Cookie Policy (linked below) for details on tracking, analytics, and preferences.

C. Information from Third Parties

  • Payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) provide limited transaction confirmation data.
  • Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) supply aggregated usage statistics.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

  • Provide and improve the Services (e.g., generate accurate personalized birth charts, horoscopes, daily/weekly/monthly forecasts).
  • Create and deliver your account, saved reports, or subscription content.
  • Process payments and send order confirmations.
  • Communicate with you (e.g., account updates, newsletters, promotional offers — only if you opt in).
  • Analyze usage trends to enhance user experience and site performance.
  • Prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with legal obligations.
  • For research and development (in anonymized or aggregated form where possible).

Important note on sensitive personal data: Birth date, time, and place are considered personal data (and potentially sensitive under some laws like GDPR). We process them solely to deliver the astrology services you request.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share your information with:

  • Service providers (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics, payment processors) who are contractually obligated to protect your data.
  • Legal authorities if required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our rights/safety.
  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (your data may be transferred as part of the transaction).

We do not share precise birth data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

4. Data Storage and Security

We store your data on secure servers (primarily in [e.g., EU / US / specify region]). We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Personalized birth data is retained for as long as your account is active or needed to provide Services. You may request deletion (see Your Rights below).

5. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

  • Access, correction, or deletion of your personal data.
  • Opt-out of marketing communications (unsubscribe links are in every email).
  • Object to or restrict certain processing (e.g., under GDPR).
  • Data portability (in certain cases).
  • Withdraw consent (where processing is consent-based).

To exercise rights: Contact us at support@birthstellar.com. We may verify your identity before responding. We respond to verifiable requests within legally required timeframes (e.g., 30–45 days under GDPR/CCPA).

California Residents (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect/use/share, request deletion, and opt out of any “sales” (we do not sell data). No discrimination for exercising rights.

EU/EEA/UK Residents (GDPR/UK GDPR): We act as the data controller. Legal bases for processing include contract performance (delivering charts), consent (newsletters), and legitimate interests (analytics, security).

6. International Data Transfers

If you are outside [your primary server location, e.g., US], your data may be transferred to and processed in other countries. We use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) where required.

7. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it.

The Website may link to third-party sites (e.g., social media, payment gateways). We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
