Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
At Astravera, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information across our mobile application, website, and backend services. We believe in clarity — so we've written this in straightforward language, not legal jargon.
1. Information We Collect
Mobile Application: Birth date, birth time, and birth place used to calculate your astrological profile; zodiac sign preferences; coffee cup photos uploaded for AI analysis (not stored permanently); dream descriptions for AI-powered analysis; app usage data via Firebase Analytics; basic device information.
Website: Language preference stored as a browser cookie (NEXT_LOCALE); standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited); birth date entered on landing page is used only for interactive demo and not stored.
Backend Services: API request metadata (timestamps, response times, token usage) for performance monitoring; temporary cached data via Redis to improve response speed.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not require your real name, email address, or phone number for core app features.
We do not collect or store payment information directly — all transactions are handled by Apple App Store or Google Play.
We do not track you across other websites or applications.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for advertising.
- We do not use third-party advertising networks or ad tracking
3. How We Use Your Information
Generating personalized horoscope readings based on your birth chart.
Providing AI-powered dream analysis, tarot readings, and coffee fortune interpretations.
Calculating and displaying your natal chart with planetary positions.
Improving app performance and resolving technical issues.
- Understanding which features are most valuable to our users
- Communicating important service updates when necessary
4. AI Processing
Your inputs (birth data, dream descriptions, coffee cup images) are processed by our AI systems to generate personalized readings.
AI processing happens on our secure backend servers.
Your data is not shared with external AI providers for their own model training purposes.
We use AI to interpret and generate content — not to make automated decisions that affect your legal rights.
AI-generated content is intended for entertainment and personal reflection.
5. Cookies and Local Storage
On our website, we use a single functional cookie (NEXT_LOCALE) to remember your language preference. We do not use marketing cookies, tracking pixels, or retargeting technologies.
In the mobile app, local device storage is used to save your astrological profile, reading history, and preferences. This data remains on your device unless you explicitly choose to sync it.
6. Data Storage and Security
All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS.
Server-side credentials and sensitive keys are encrypted at rest.
API access is controlled through hashed keys with scoped permissions.
Our infrastructure uses rate limiting and quota management to prevent abuse.
We regularly review and update our security practices.
7. Data Retention
Your astrological profile and reading history are retained as long as you actively use the app.
Server-side request logs are retained for up to 90 days for performance monitoring, then automatically deleted.
Redis cache data is temporary and expires automatically within hours.
If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is removed with it.
You may request deletion of any server-side data at any time by contacting us.
8. Third-Party Services
We use a limited number of trusted third-party services: Firebase Analytics (Google) for anonymous app usage statistics and crash reporting; Apple App Store / Google Play for payment processing and app distribution; AI service providers for processing AI-powered readings (data is transmitted securely and is not used for third-party model training).
These services operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
9. Children's Privacy
Astravera is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at support@astravera.io and we will promptly delete it.
