Privacy Policy
Astro Digest · published by SVARANITI CONSULTING · effective 2 October 2026
Summary
Astro Digest needs an account so your profile and family members are available on any phone you sign in on. We collect only what is needed to sign you in and to calculate your charts. We do not sell your data, show ads or use tracking.
What we collect
- Account details: your email address and/or mobile number, and a password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider).
- Your profile: your name, gender, date, time and place of birth, an optional time-zone override, the town you are in now, and a summary calculated from your birth chart (birth star, Moon sign and the signs of the Sun, Venus and Mars).
- People you check compatibility with or save as family and friends: their name, relation, gender, and either their birth star or their date, time and place of birth. Add someone only if you have their permission to do so. A person you check without saving is not stored.
- Mutual Match (optional, adults only): if you switch it on and add someone, we store a one-way scrambled code (a SHA-256 hash) of their mobile number or email, the name you typed and a partly hidden version of the number, visible only to you. We never store the number or email itself and never contact that person. If they have also switched on Mutual Match and added you, each of you sees the other's first name and your compatibility score. Contact details and birth data are never shown to the other person.
- Consultations and services you order: your question, the birth details of the person it is about, messages between you and our astrologer, the answer, payment status and your rating. Only you and the staff handling your order can see them. Payments for live consultations and poojas are processed by Razorpay; we receive the payment reference, not your card or bank details.
- Purchases: when you buy the Love & Compatibility Pack or Astro Digest Plus, Apple or Google processes the payment. We receive a record of what you bought (not your card details) through our purchase provider, RevenueCat, linked to your account ID.
KP Prashna questions you type, alert settings and your choice of tab stay on your device and are not sent to us.
Why we use it
- To create and secure your account, verify your email or mobile number, and let you reset your password.
- To calculate your day ratings, Tara Balam, activity guidance and charts.
- To keep your profile and family members in sync across your devices.
- To deliver the consultations, reports and poojas you order, and to keep a record of them for you and for accounting.
- To calculate compatibility, to reveal mutual matches only when both people have chosen each other, and to unlock features you have paid for.
Where it is stored
Account and profile data are stored with our backend provider, Supabase, in a database where each user can read only their own records. Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Verification codes are sent by SMS through our messaging provider, and verification and password-reset links by email.
Sharing
We do not sell or rent your data and do not share it with advertisers. We share it only with the service providers that run the app for us (database and authentication, email and SMS delivery, RevenueCat for purchase records, and Razorpay for consultation and pooja payments), under contracts that limit their use to providing that service, or where the law requires it.
On your device
Alerts are scheduled with your phone's local notification system. The home-screen widget reads the day's timings from storage shared between the app and its widget on your device. Calendar export creates a file and hands it to the app you choose; we do not receive a copy.
Your choices and rights
- Edit your profile and family members at any time in the app.
- Turn Mutual Match off, remove people you added, or hide a match at any time from the Match tab.
- Delete your account from Account → Delete my account. This permanently deletes your account, profile and family members from our systems.
- You can ask us for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion by emailing us. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may also withdraw consent and raise grievances with us at the contact below.
Retention
We keep your data while your account exists. When you delete your account, it is removed from the live database immediately and from backups within 30 days.
Children
Astro Digest is only for adults aged 18 and over; you cannot create a profile with a date of birth under 18. Mutual Match only ever connects two adults. Parents may add their children as family members for Tara Balam and daily guidance only.
Changes
If we change how we use data, we will update this policy and the app store privacy disclosures, and tell you in the app.
