Privacy Policy

1. Who operates the service

The website MyAstroPassport is operated by Olena Isaikina. Olena Isaikina is the controller of personal data processed through this website. In this Policy, “we” refers to Olena Isaikina as the operator. For privacy questions or requests, contact support@myastropassport.com. We do not currently provide a user account or email newsletter.

2. Information we process

• Birth-chart form: the name you enter, birth date and time, and selected city and coordinates. The browser temporarily keeps form values in session storage so the form can be restored in that tab/session.
• Calculation requests: birth date, time, coordinates, and related options are sent to our server to calculate the chart, Solar Return, or requested report. Free chart inputs are processed for the requested result and are not stored as raw values in the purchase-entitlement database.
• Place searches: the search text and language are sent to our server and may be queried against Nominatim, Photon, or Open-Meteo geocoding services. Queries and results may be cached temporarily in server memory. A place query is part of the request URL and may appear in server access logs.
• Purchase and license records: Freemius processes checkout and payment details, including information such as your email and billing/payment data. We receive license and product information. To bind a purchase to the relevant chart and support access restoration, our server stores an unsalted SHA-256 hash derived from the normalized name, birth date, time, and rounded coordinates, together with product/license metadata and activation time. This hash is still treated as personal information; it is not anonymous.
• Technical and usage data: our hosting and application logs may include IP address, request path, date/time, browser or device information, and error details. If you allow analytics, Google Analytics 4 receives page and interaction events. Those events do not include values from birth-form fields.
• Support messages: if you email us, we process the address and message contents to respond and maintain the support correspondence.

3. Why we use information

We use information to provide calculations and reports you request, find the selected place, process purchases and license access, restore purchased access, respond to support requests, maintain and secure the service, and—only after you choose “Allow analytics”—measure site visits and interactions.

Depending on the activity and applicable law, processing is based on providing a service you request, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the site, your consent for optional analytics, or legal obligations relating to purchases and accounting.

4. Cookies and analytics

Necessary browser storage supports site functions and remembers your cookie choice. Google Analytics 4 loads only after you consent. You can withdraw that choice using “Cookie settings” in the footer. More details are in our Cookie Policy.

We do not currently run targeted advertising on this site or use birth-chart form values for advertising. If that changes, this notice and any required choices will be updated before the new processing begins.

5. Who receives information

Information is made available only as needed to operate the service: our hosting provider (Hetzner), the geocoding services used for place searches, Google when optional Analytics is enabled, and Freemius and its payment providers when you make a purchase. These providers process information under their own terms and privacy notices. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

6. Storage and retention

Form data in session storage remains in the browser session until it is cleared or the session ends. Calculation inputs are handled to produce the requested result; raw free-chart inputs are not kept in the entitlement database. Place-search cache entries are held temporarily in server memory.

Purchase entitlement and webhook-deduplication records are retained as needed to provide, verify, restore, and protect purchased access and to meet applicable record-keeping requirements. Server logs are retained according to the hosting and operational log-rotation settings. Support correspondence is kept while needed to resolve the request and maintain relevant records. We do not currently offer a fixed deletion period for these operational records; you may contact us to request review or deletion, subject to legal and purchase-access requirements.

7. International processing and security

Our server and service providers may process information in countries other than yours. Where applicable, providers use their own transfer and security arrangements. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

8. Your choices and privacy rights

You can decline or withdraw optional analytics consent in Cookie settings, clear browser storage, and contact us about personal information associated with your use or purchase. Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal information, and to complain to a data-protection authority. We may need to verify a request and may retain information where required to meet legal obligations or maintain a valid purchase entitlement.

To make a request, email support@myastropassport.com with “Privacy request” in the subject. Do not send full payment-card details. If you are in the EU/EEA, you may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Certain US state rights apply only when the relevant law covers the business and the individual.

9. Children

The service is not designed for children under 13, and we do not knowingly ask children under 13 to provide personal information. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us so we can review it.

10. Changes to this notice

We may update this Policy when our processing, providers, or legal obligations change. The current version and revision date will appear on this page.
