Your data
This Privacy Policy explains what information Zodiac Chart collects when you visit zodiac-chart.com, how that information is used, and the choices you have. The policy applies to the whole of zodiac-chart.com, not only to the zodiac chart.
Who runs this site
The website zodiac-chart.com is operated under the name Zodiac Chart and offers a free zodiac chart. Questions about personal data go to the site's operator, who reads the mailbox [email protected]. Where data protection law uses the term “controller”, it refers to this operator.
What information is collected
You do not need to sign up to use the zodiac chart: there are no accounts, logins or passwords on the site. Whatever you enter into the zodiac chart is handled by your browser itself; it is not transmitted to us or stored on our server. What we and our service providers do receive is technical: request logs, usage statistics and advertising data, explained in the sections that follow.
Data that stays on your device
The zodiac chart remembers your recent inputs and settings using your browser's local storage. It lives only in the browser you used and is never uploaded to us. Removing the site's stored data in your browser settings deletes it for good, and a private window keeps nothing after it is closed.
Cookies and tracking technologies
A cookie is a small piece of data that a site, or a service used by the site, stores in your browser, and similar technologies include pixels and local storage. The cookies in use on zodiac-chart.com belong to the analytics and advertising services covered in the next sections, not to the tool itself. Blocking cookies in your browser will not break the tool, though ads may be less relevant to you.
Analytics and session recordings
Use of zodiac-chart.com is measured with Yandex Metrica and Microsoft Clarity. Typical data points are the pages you open, the time spent on them, where you came from, your browser and device, and a rough location. Both include session recording and heatmaps that capture clicks, scrolls and pointer movements, helping us spot confusing parts of a page.
Both services use cookies, and the data they collect is governed by the privacy policies of Yandex and Microsoft. Our interest is in patterns across visits, not in identifying any particular person.
Logs kept by our server
Each time a page is requested, the web server writes an entry to its logs, as web servers normally do. Each log line records the IP address, browser user agent, time and requested page. We rely on them for security, troubleshooting and simple statistics.
How ads work here
The site is funded by advertising, which keeps the zodiac chart free. The ads are supplied by third-party ad networks, which may set cookies and use device data, such as your IP address and browser details, to choose ads and measure how they perform. Some ads may be tailored to interests inferred from your browsing across different sites, where the law and your settings allow it. Ad networks receive nothing you type into the tool; what they do collect is governed by their own privacy policies. You can opt out of personalised ads from many networks at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu, and you can block third-party cookies in your browser.
Our legal bases
For visitors in the EEA and the UK, the legal bases are:
- Consent where the law requires it for analytics and advertising technologies.
- Legitimate interests in keeping the site secure, working and free, balanced against your rights.
- Providing the service you ask for, which covers the local storage that remembers your entries.
- Handling your messages: when you email us, we use your message to answer it.
Your privacy rights
If European or UK data protection law applies to you, you may access, rectify and erase your data, restrict or object to processing, and receive it in a portable form. Consent you have given can be withdrawn whenever you like. As there are no accounts, it helps if you tell us your IP address and roughly when you visited, so we can locate any relevant records. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular where you live or work. Requests can be sent to [email protected].
International transfers
Data collected through zodiac-chart.com may be processed by service providers located in other countries. Data protection rules in those countries may not be the same as in yours.
Keeping data
Data is kept no longer than necessary, and server logs are removed after a limited period unless an entry is needed to deal with a security incident. Analytics and advertising providers keep data according to their own retention schedules. Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to deal with your message and any follow-up. Data saved in local storage stays in your browser until you delete it.
If you live in California
California residents have rights under the CCPA and the CPRA: to know what personal information is collected, to have it deleted or corrected, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense: we never hand over visitor data for money. Advertising cookies, though, can amount to “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising as California law defines it. To opt out, enable Global Privacy Control in a browser that supports it, block third-party cookies in your browser settings, or email us. You will not be discriminated against for exercising any of them.
Security measures
All pages on zodiac-chart.com are delivered over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Only those who run the site can access the server and its logs. No method is completely secure, but what you enter into the zodiac chart never reaches our server.
Use by children
zodiac-chart.com is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 where European rules apply. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Parents or guardians who think a child has contacted us can ask us to delete that information.
Updates to this policy
We update this page when our practices change, for example when we add or remove a service. The version published here is always the current one.
