Effective date: September 29, 2026. We’ve written this the way we write everything else: in plain language, with nothing hidden in the fine print.
The short version
We collect the minimum needed to run the site: standard analytics about page visits, cookies that make ads and basic features work, and any message you choose to send us. We never see or store the birth dates and times you enter into our calculators — those are processed entirely in your browser. We don’t have user accounts, so we don’t hold profiles on anyone.
What we collect
- Analytics: like most sites, we use analytics tools that record anonymous, aggregate information — which pages are visited, roughly where visitors come from, and what devices and browsers are used. This helps us understand what people find useful. It isn’t linked to your identity.
- Cookies: we use cookies for basic site functions and to serve and measure display advertising. Ad partners may use cookies to show you more relevant ads.
- Messages you send us: if you email us, we receive whatever you include in your message so we can reply.
What we never collect
- Birth data: dates, times, and places entered into tarot or astrology tools are calculated in your browser and never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
- Accounts: there are no accounts, logins, or profiles — nothing to breach, nothing to sell.
- Payment details: we don’t sell anything directly and we don’t process payments.
Cookies in a little more detail
A cookie is a small file your browser stores to remember things between visits — like a preference, or that you’ve seen a notice. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time; Astracana’s tools will still work, though some conveniences may not persist.
Advertising
Astracana runs display ads to keep the tools free. Our ad partners may collect or use data as described in their own privacy policies to serve and measure ads, including interest-based advertising. You can opt out of personalized advertising through industry tools such as the NAI opt-out page or your device’s ad settings.
A note for our US audience
Astracana is operated from the United States for a US audience. If you’re visiting from elsewhere, please note that information is handled under US practices as described here.
