Privacy Policy
Effective date: 14 August 2026
Who we are
This site is operated by WEYL ENTERPRISE IT CONSULTING LTD (registration number ΗΕ 457371), a company registered in Cyprus at Gladstonos 12-14, 8046 Paphos, Cyprus, trading as “Astrocarto Readings” (“we,” “us”). We are the data controller for the personal data described in this policy. We provide personalized astrocartography readings and educational content at astrocartoreadings.com.
What we collect, and where
We collect different things on different parts of the site. This is the full list.
The belonging quiz
Your answers to the quiz questions, including a free-text answer where people often describe a move, a relationship, or something they are going through. Your date of birth, your time of birth, and your place of birth including its coordinates. Your first name and email address, which we ask for before showing your result. We also record your IP address, your browser and device, and any advertising identifiers present in the link you arrived from.
Your birth date, time and place are written to our database on the birth screens, which come before the screen where we ask for your email. If you leave the quiz at that point, that data has already been saved.
The intake form, after a purchase
Your name, birth date, birth time and birth place, plus your answers to the reading questions. Several of these are free text and invite you to describe your circumstances.
The free map
Your name, email address, birth date, birth time and birth place, and the address of the map we generate for you.
The free guide and the newsletter
Your email address, and your first name where you give it.
Checkout
Payment is handled entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. We store your order, the email address attached to it, and what you bought.
Birth data and free text
Birth data may reveal philosophical or spiritual beliefs under GDPR Article 9. Free-text answers can reveal far more, because people volunteer health, relationships or beliefs in them without being asked to. We use both only to prepare your reading and to improve the questions we ask.
To be accurate about consent: the consent checkbox in the quiz appears after the birth screens, not before them. We are describing that honestly here rather than claiming a sequence we do not implement. If you want data you entered before that point removed, ask us and we will remove it.
Who receives your data
We do not exchange your personal data for money. We do share it with the companies below, and one of them is an advertising platform, which some privacy laws treat as a sale in itself. Rather than make a claim about that, here is exactly who receives what.
| Who | What they receive | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Meta (Facebook, Instagram) | Page views and quiz events. Your email address, a session identifier and your country, each hashed before sending. Your Meta advertising cookies, your IP address, your browser and the address of the page you were on, all unhashed. Hashing is not anonymization: a hashed email still identifies you to a platform that already holds your email. | Advertising measurement and targeting |
| PostHog | Pages, device, country, and your interactions. Once you give us your email address, it is used as your identifier, so your activity is no longer anonymous. EU servers. | Product analytics |
| Open-Meteo | The place name you type into any birth-place field, forwarded by our server as you type. Your browser never contacts them, so they do not receive your IP address, your browser, or anything else that identifies you. This lookup runs whatever you choose on the consent banner, because the field cannot work without it. | Finding your birth place |
| Our map server | Birth date, time and coordinates, and a hashed email address. Hosted on our own server in Germany. | Drawing your map |
| Stripe | Your email, payment details and order | Taking payment |
| Resend | Your email address and name. Opens and clicks are tracked. | Sending email |
| Vercel | Hosting and database. Request logs, and everything you submit. | Running the site |
| Axiom | Server logs carrying session identifiers, place names and countries. We do not log raw email addresses. | Diagnosing faults |
Advertising and third-party tracking
We use pixels and similar technologies from third parties, including Meta, on pages across this site. Those third parties, including Meta, use the data they collect to provide measurement services and to target and deliver advertising, including on other websites and apps.
You can opt out of collection for advertising targeting in three ways: use the consent banner on this site and decline, turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser, or email us and we will exclude you. You can also use the industry opt-out tools at aboutads.info/choices and youronlinechoices.eu.
Meta may also use what it collects here to recognise you across other sites and apps. That is the purpose of the advertising cookies listed below.
Cookies and browser storage
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
tracking_consent | Your consent choice | 6 months |
country_code | Your country. It is hashed and sent to Meta alongside advertising events, once you have accepted. It does not decide whether you see the consent banner: everyone sees it. | 6 months |
ph_* | PostHog analytics | 1 year |
_fbp, _fbc | Meta advertising. _fbc records the ad you clicked. | Up to 90 days |
astro_quiz_* | Your quiz session, so your result can be shown again. Stored in both a cookie and browser storage. | 30 days |
| Meta ad identifiers | The ad click id and a testing code, kept in session storage so they survive navigation | Until the tab closes |
freeGuideToken | Lets you re-download the free guide. It contains your email address in an encoded but readable form, stored in your own browser. | 24 hours |
Your choices, stated plainly
Nothing tracks you until you say yes. Analytics and advertising trackers do not run when the page loads. They run only after you accept the consent banner. If you decline, they do not run at all, and if you never choose, they also do not run: silence counts as no. There is one rule and it is the same everywhere, whether you are in the EU, the United States, or anywhere else. Everyone is asked.
You can change your mind at any time using the methods above, and a decline is honoured everywhere in the world once you make it.
Global Privacy Control: we honour the GPC browser signal. If your browser sends it we do not even ask: your choice is recorded as a decline, and analytics and advertising trackers stay off. This is also our answer to Do Not Track signals.
The birth-place field works differently. Looking up your birth place sends what you type to our own server as you type, and our server asks Open-Meteo on your behalf. This happens whatever you chose on the consent banner, because the field cannot function without it. It is not tracking, and what leaves our server is a place name with nothing attached that identifies you.
How long we keep things
We keep the data described above until you ask us to delete it. We want to be exact about this, because it is the kind of promise that is easy to make and hard to keep: we do not currently run any automatic deletion. There is no job that expires quiz answers, intake answers or generated maps on a schedule.
Ask us and we will delete your data, including data you entered before reaching a consent checkbox, and we will tell you when it is done. PostHog expires its own analytics data after one year.
Your rights, and how to use them
You have the right to see the personal data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to receive a copy of it, to object to how we use it, and to withdraw consent at any time. These rights are available to everyone who contacts us, wherever you live.
To use any of them, email us at the address below and say what you want. We do not run a self-service portal: two people read that inbox and act on it. We will reply within one month. If you are in the EU or UK you also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
Third parties collecting across sites
Yes. Meta may collect information about your activity on this site and combine it with your activity elsewhere, which is how advertising targeting works. PostHog does not track you across other companies’ sites. We allow no other third-party advertising trackers.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle your data, we will update this page and change the effective date at the top. If a change is material, we will not apply it backwards to data we already collected under the previous version without asking you first.
