Gizlilik Politikası

Introduction

Welcome to AstroMood ("we," "us," or "our"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and safeguard your information when you use our astrology platform, including our website (getastromood.com) and mobile applications (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

Personal Information You Provide

We collect information you provide directly to us when creating an account or using our services:

Account information: name, email address, and password
Profile information: display name and profile photo
Communication data: feedback, support requests, and correspondence with us

Birth Data (Astrological Data)

To generate accurate natal charts, we collect your date of birth, time of birth, and location of birth. This data is used with the Swiss Ephemeris astronomical library to calculate precise planetary positions, house cusps, and astrological aspects. Birth data is treated as sensitive personal information and is encrypted at rest. The accuracy of your charts depends on the precision of the birth data you provide.

Second Person Data (Compatibility Features)

For synastry and composite chart features, you may enter another person's birth data. By providing this information, you represent and warrant that you have obtained that person's consent to share their birth data for the purpose of generating compatibility charts. We process this data solely to generate the requested charts.

Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Service, we automatically collect certain technical information:

Device information: device type, operating system, and browser type
Usage data: pages visited, features used, and session duration
IP address and approximate geographic location
App performance data and crash reports

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Generate personalized birth charts (natal, transit, solar return, lunar return, progressed)
Calculate compatibility analysis (synastry and composite charts)
Provide transit readings and astrological forecasts
Save your charts and preferences for future access
Send notifications about significant astrological transits (if opted in)

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers: hosting, analytics, and infrastructure providers who assist us in operating the platform, under strict data processing agreements
Shared charts: when you choose to share a chart publicly via a share link, the chart data becomes accessible to anyone with the link
Legal requirements: when required by law, regulation, court order, or other legal process
Safety: to protect the rights, safety, or property of AstroMood, our users, or the public
Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to users
Refund management: when you request a refund for an in-app purchase through Apple's App Store, we may share subscription usage data with Apple to support the refund evaluation process, as described in the Refund Data Sharing section below

Refund Data Sharing (Apple App Store)

If we receive a refund request for an in-app purchase made through Apple's App Store, we may provide Apple with information about your in-app purchase activity to assist in evaluating the request. This data sharing is conducted in compliance with Apple's App Store guidelines and helps ensure fair refund decisions. The information we may share includes:

Time since app installation
Total app usage time
An anonymous account identifier
Whether the in-app purchase was fully consumed
Whether the purchase included a free trial period
Total amount spent on in-app purchases
Total amount previously refunded
You can opt out of this data sharing at any time through the app's Privacy & Data settings. Opting out means Apple will make refund decisions without usage data from us.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. While no system is 100% secure, we are committed to protecting your data using commercially reasonable safeguards:

Birth data is encrypted at rest
All data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS/SSL encryption)

Passwords are securely hashed using bcrypt
Regular security reviews and updates are performed
