Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information ASTROZONE (OPC) PVT LTD collects through Horoscopes Today — the website (horoscopes.today), the Horoscopes Today Android app and the Horoscopes Today app for iPhone and iPad — how we use and protect it, and the choices you have.

• Information we collect. Birth details (date, time, and place of birth) that you enter to generate readings; account details such as your name and email; optionally your phone, billing, or mailing details where you provide them; and standard usage/device data (pages visited, device type, approximate location) collected via analytics. The birth profiles you save may include other people, such as a partner or family member; add someone only with their permission. If someone gives you a free reading, we keep your email address so it can be applied when you sign in with it, and delete it 90 days after the gift was given (sooner if the gift is removed). Deleting your account also deletes gifts sent to your account's verified email address. Our email provider's and our system logs keep the address for their usual retention periods.
• How we use it. To generate your readings, provide and maintain the service, process payments and deliver purchased readings, provide customer support, detect and prevent fraud or abuse, and comply with legal obligations. We may also send you occasional emails about horoscopes and our services; you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every email. If you have given us your birth details (for example, to chat with our astrologer), we may use them to work out your Vedic Moon sign and tailor those emails to it.
• The Android app. The Horoscopes Today Android app uses the same account as the website and is covered by this policy. It uses your device's location only when you tap to use it (for example, to fill in a place), never in the background. To protect the service from abuse it uses device-integrity checks (App Check and Google Play Integrity), and it keeps app installation identifiers. When notifications are allowed on your phone and you are signed in, the app registers a push-notification token with us so we can tell you when a reading is ready. It is deleted when you sign out, turn reading-ready notifications off (a change made in your phone's settings takes effect the next time the app opens), delete your account, or after 270 days without the app renewing it. The daily reminder is scheduled on your phone rather than sent by us, and it uses no push token, but to fill it in the app asks our servers for that day's reading and timings — which sends the birth details of the profile it is set for and the city shown on Today. You can turn either notification off in the app or in your device settings. Purchases in the app are processed by Google Play or Razorpay. The app sends usage events — such as which screens you open, app updates and sessions, and completed purchases with their product, amount, currency and order reference, but never your name, birth details, email or messages — to Google Analytics for Firebase, and crash reports — the technical state of the app and device when it failed — to Firebase Crashlytics. You control this with “Share usage and crash reports” under Me → Terms, privacy & refunds. Until you choose, it is on by default — except that it starts off, so it is opt-in, while your phone's SIM, network or region setting is in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, or when none of them can be read. When you pay with Razorpay in the app, Razorpay's own software collects crash and diagnostic information about that checkout — which part of the app failed, and how the app last closed if that happened during a payment — with no error-message text, and sends it to Razorpay. Turning “Share usage and crash reports” off does not stop that.
• The iPhone and iPad app. The Horoscopes Today app for iPhone and iPad uses the same account as the website and is covered by this policy. You can sign in with Apple, Google or email; if you sign in with Apple and choose to hide your email address, we receive an Apple relay address and our emails reach you through Apple's relay service. The app uses your approximate location only when you tap to use it — to find your town or city for a birth place or for today's timings — never in the background. To protect the service from abuse it uses Apple's device-integrity check, App Attest, through Firebase App Check. When notifications are allowed and you are signed in, the app registers a push-notification token, delivered through Apple Push Notification service, so we can tell you when a reading is ready; it is deleted when you sign out, turn reading-ready notifications off, delete your account, or after 270 days without the app renewing it. The daily reminder is scheduled on your device rather than sent by us, but to fill it in the app asks our servers for that day's reading and timings — which sends the birth details of the profile it is set for and the city shown on Today. If you turn on Face ID or Touch ID to unlock your private chats and readings, your device checks it; we never receive biometric data. The app sends usage events and crash reports — never your name, birth details, email or messages — to Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics, and you control this with “Share usage and crash reports” in the app's Me tab.
• Purchases in the iPhone and iPad app. Purchases in the iPhone and iPad app are made through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment; we never receive your card or bank details. To deliver what you bought, we receive Apple's signed record of the purchase — the product, its price and currency, the storefront country, transaction identifiers and the date — and link it to your account with a random identifier we create for that purpose. Apple tells us if a purchase is refunded, and we then remove the reading or the unused chat messages it paid for.
• AI & automated processing. Readings and chat answers are produced by automated AI systems from the birth data and questions you provide. They are interpretive in nature and are not guaranteed to be accurate or absolute. Our AI provider, Anthropic, processes the birth details and questions needed to prepare your readings and answer your chat questions, on our behalf. When you delete your account, we ask Anthropic to delete your chat sessions, and keep asking for up to 72 hours if it cannot at first. In the iPhone and iPad app we ask for your agreement before your first chat, reading request or free AI preview, and we record that agreement with your account (or on your device until you sign in).
• Free AI astrology chat. The free AI astrology chat on our website and in our Android app uses the birth date, time and place you enter only to work out your chart facts, such as planet positions and your current dasha. We do not store those birth details themselves, only the chart facts and a one-way keyed fingerprint of the details that lets us recognise the same chart again. If you choose only your Moon sign (rashi) instead, that sign is the only detail about you we receive for the reading — no birth details — and the chat reads it with the day's planetary positions. Our AI provider, Anthropic, processes the chart facts (or your Moon sign and the day's positions) and your questions to answer them. We keep the chart facts, your questions and the answers for 30 days, so the conversation can continue and an answer still reaches you if the connection drops, then delete them. To run the monthly free allowance, we keep a question count linked to a random identifier saved in your browser (on the website) or in the app's storage (in the app), or to your account when you are signed in, for 40 days, and short-lived anti-abuse counters for a few days. That random identifier is used only to count free questions, to keep your conversation available on your device and to prevent abuse; after a verified sign-in it is linked to your account, so that each person has one allowance. Deleting your account deletes the chat records linked to it.
• WhatsApp readings. If you message our WhatsApp number, we use your phone number to identify your conversation and track its two free AI readings each calendar month. An AI assistant reads the messages you send to understand what you are asking, answer general questions, and suggest readings on this website; it is not given your birth details or chart, and it only prepares a personal reading after you reply to confirm. You can also ask any time, free and unlimited, for already-published information such as the day's panchang, the current planetary transits, and your daily or weekly horoscope; those are answered from content already on this website and do not use a free reading. This is separate from your website account and website allowance; following a link to our products does not transfer your WhatsApp conversation or sign you in. We show a short privacy notice before AI intake; sending us your birth details means you accept it. We use your name, birth date, birth time, birthplace and questions to prepare readings. You confirm the birth details before a reading starts. Unsupported media is not downloaded or transcribed by our bot.
• WhatsApp service providers. Meta operates WhatsApp and carries your messages. Anthropic processes the text of your messages to understand them and your birth details, and to produce AI readings and assistant replies. Our Jagannatha Hora calculator resolves locations, including the city you tell us you are in, and computes charts and panchang timings for them. Cloud hosting supports this processing. These providers may retain their own copies under their applicable terms and retention policies; removing our local records does not itself remove messages from your handset, Meta or Anthropic.
• WhatsApp retention. Our local phone record, birth-detail backup, conversation reference, free-reading count, counts of readings prepared and detail-reading attempts, your Vedic birth star and Moon sign once we have worked them out from your birth details, a count of the free information requests you have made, and whether you asked for a daily message, all expire after 30 days without a new message from you. New messages extend that window; internal retries do not. A count of assistant replies, the language you write in (so we can reply in it), the city you tell us you are in for panchang timings (with its coordinates, and the places we offered you to choose from), a daily count of translated replies, and the text of the last free information we showed you, kept so the assistant can explain it, expire after 40 days. Temporary processing records, including message text, your last exchange with the assistant (used for at most 30 minutes so it can follow up) and a prepared reply, expire three days after they are first accepted. We stop using expired content even if background database deletion has not yet finished. Restarting or correcting your details does not replenish your free allowance. If a reply fails to send we retry it, so you may occasionally receive the same reading twice; if we cannot finish a reading we tell you, and it does not use up a free reading.
• Your WhatsApp choices. Send stop to pause replies — any reading already being prepared will still arrive, and messaging us again resumes replies — or restart, or tap Change, to correct your birth details. For access, correction or deletion, contact admin@jagannathahora.com. We will explain which local records and provider-held copies we can remove, and any limits on that removal.
• How your data is shared. We do not sell your personal data. We share it with the service providers who help us run the platform — for example payment processing (Razorpay, Google Play for purchases in the Android app, and Apple's App Store for purchases in the iPhone and iPad app), our AI provider (Anthropic), email delivery, and cloud hosting — under confidentiality obligations, or where required by law. We also share limited purchase information for advertising measurement, including with OpenAI, which receives it as an independent controller under its own terms rather than as our service provider — see "Advertising & conversion measurement" below. Beyond that, the only sharing is sharing you start yourself, described next.
• Sharing you initiate. You can choose to create a public link to a birth chart. Anyone holding that link can then see the birth date, birth time and birth place the chart was built from, together with the chart and the calculations derived from them, without signing in or being known to us. The link is unlisted — it is not published on the site, listed anywhere, or indexed by search engines — but it is not private: whoever you send it to can open it, and so can anyone they pass it on to. The chart you share may be of someone other than you, such as a family member or partner. Where it is, you are publishing that person's birth details rather than your own, and you are responsible for having their agreement before you create the link.
• Shared links & takedown. A shared link expires automatically one year after it is created, and you can revoke it at any time from the browser or app you created it in, which stops it working immediately. To ask us to take a shared link down — including one that someone else created about you — email admin@jagannathahora.com. Because shared links are unlisted and we keep no directory of them, we can act fastest when you are able to send us the link itself; if you cannot, tell us the birth details concerned and we will do our best to identify it.
• Invites and the free first reading. If you invite friends, we give you a personal invite code and link, and we record which account invited which: when a friend joins with your link and books their free first reading, we give you a free Lite reading too. You see only how many friends joined and how many readings you earned, never who joined, and your friend sees only your link. The invite code is part of the link's address, like any page address on this site, so anyone you send the link to can see it. To offer the free first reading once per person, we keep a one-way code made from your email address, and a linked Google or Apple account's, for one year, even after the account is deleted, so the welcome reading cannot be claimed twice. It cannot be turned back into your email address.
• Birth details kept in your browser tab. On the website, the birth chart and the free chat keep the last birth details you entered, and the optional name you gave the chart, in that browser tab and not on our servers, until the tab is closed, so a reload or opening your full chart does not ask for them again.
• Advertising & conversion measurement. We advertise on Google and in ChatGPT (OpenAI). To measure which ads lead to a purchase, we share a one-way encrypted (hashed) form of your email address with Google after a completed purchase, and we record the Google click identifier from the ad you arrived through. If you arrive from a Facebook or Instagram ad we record that platform's click identifier too, but only in our own records — it is never sent back to Meta, and there is no Meta tracking pixel on this site. Your email address itself is never shared in readable form, and the data we share with Google is used only to measure advertising performance — not to sell or profile you. For every purchase on this website (purchases in the Android, iPhone and iPad apps are never sent), our server also sends OpenAI the purchase value, currency and payment reference, a hashed form of your email address, a hashed account identifier and your country, and — if you arrived from an ad shown in ChatGPT — OpenAI's click reference, which we store in your browser and with your order and use for up to 30 days. OpenAI receives this as an independent controller and uses it under its own terms — to measure and optimise ads, to build advertising audiences for us, and to develop and improve its services (see OpenAI's privacy policy at openai.com/policies/privacy-policy). There is no OpenAI tracking script on this site. We use your approximate country (from your IP address when you place an order) and the country code of the phone number entered at payment (together with the payment method used) to keep buyers in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland out of the purchase information our servers send to Google and OpenAI — our servers never send their purchases. Click references from ads may be kept in any visitor's browser, but if you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, advertising and analytics storage is switched off for your visit and our servers send nothing about your purchase to Google or OpenAI.
• Cookies & analytics. We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and understand how it is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
• Data retention. We keep your account data until you delete your account. When you do, we keep payment records in pseudonymised form — without your name, email or birth details — for up to 8 years, as Indian tax and company law require, and a record of the deletion with no personal data (ids and timestamps only): for up to 72 hours it holds your order and chat-session ids and the result of each order's payment check, then only hashed deletion tickets, the number of unused chat messages you agreed to give up and any support note, until it is deleted after 30 days. Our service providers, such as payment, email and AI providers, keep their own records under their own retention policies. Other personal data is kept only for as long as needed to provide the service and to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, after which it is deleted or anonymised.
• Deleting your account. You can delete your account yourself: in the Android app or the iPhone and iPad app (Me → Delete account), or on the web after signing in. Deleting it removes your account, saved birth profiles, chat history and readings, and we ask our AI provider to delete your chat sessions; what we keep is described under Data retention. The apps, if signed in to the account, clear this account's data on their next online check; data this website saved in other web browsers stays there until it is cleared in that browser. If self-serve deletion isn't available, email admin@jagannathahora.com from your account's email address; we will confirm the request with you at that address. Self-serve deletions finish within minutes once no payment or reading is in progress; emailed requests within 30 days. The full details, and the place to do it, are at horoscopes.today/delete-account.
• Security. We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, and aim to notify affected users of any material data breach without undue delay.
• Your rights. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, subject to applicable law, by emailing admin@jagannathahora.com. You can also delete your account yourself, as described under Deleting your account.
• Children. Horoscopes Today is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has given us personal data, contact admin@jagannathahora.com and we will delete it.
• International transfers. Your data may be processed in countries other than your own; where it is, we apply appropriate safeguards for its protection.
• Grievances. For any privacy question or grievance, contact us at admin@jagannathahora.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.
