  1. WHY BIRTH DATA IS SENSITIVE DATA

Under the GDPR (Article 9), birth data can reveal information about your beliefs (philosophical or religious) and is therefore classified as a special category of personal data requiring your explicit consent.

Your consent: By submitting your birth data and checking the consent box at checkout, you provide explicit, informed consent for us to process this information solely for the purpose of creating your personalized astrological analysis.

  • Delivering the completed analysis to you via email or digital download
  • Communicating with you about your order (confirmations, delivery, support)
  • Complying with legal obligations (tax records, anti-fraud checks)
  • Quality assurance and dispute resolution (if necessary)

We do NOT use your data for:

  • Marketing or promotional emails (unless you separately opt in)
  • Selling, renting, or sharing with third parties for their marketing purposes
  • Automated decision-making or profiling (beyond the astrological interpretation itself)
