Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data CosmicHora handles, why the app uses it, and how to contact us about privacy requests.
Who we are
- CosmicHora is operated by COSMICHORA, Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India. We are the data fiduciary (controller) for the personal data described here.
- CosmicHora is for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Collected data
- Account details from sign-in providers (Google or Apple), such as your email address and name when the provider shares it.
- Your own birth date, time, place, timezone, and selected ayanamsa, plus your gender, so the app can calculate your chart.
- Family chart data you choose to save: name, relationship, gender, and birth date, time, and place for a spouse, father, mother, and up to five children. You are responsible for having the right to share another person's birth details.
- Chat messages, optional profile context, and guided inputs you send so the app can answer your questions. Your messages are used to produce the answer and are not kept as a chat history on our servers.
- Generated predictions and readings saved to your account.
- Purchase records for Premium and credit packs: product, store transaction identifiers, status, and dates. We never see your card or payment details; Apple and Google handle payment.
- Advertising data: the free version shows banner ads from Google AdMob. Google collects the device advertising ID and device and usage data for ads, under its own privacy policy; we do not receive that data.
- Technical data such as IP address and request logs, used to secure and operate the service.
How we use data
- To generate natal charts, divisional charts, dasha timelines, transits, and other astrology outputs tied to your saved details.
- To answer chat questions by loading your chart together with the relevant spouse, parent, or child chart when your question asks for multi-chart analysis.
- To generate daily and Premium forecast text. Your chart stays primary, and saved spouse data is used only as a secondary relationship modifier when relevant.
- To operate your account, restore saved content across sessions, process Premium entitlements and credit purchases, prevent abuse, and respond to support requests.
- To show ads to free users through Google AdMob.
- We do not sell your personal data.
Storage and security
- We store the account, chart, family, prediction, credit, and subscription data needed to run the product and make it available again on your devices.
- Family chart data is stored only when you choose to save it, and parent or child charts are currently used for chat questions only.
- A short-lived copy of each chat answer is kept for a few minutes so an interrupted reply can be resumed, then it is automatically deleted.
- Shared prediction data older than the previous period is deleted automatically.
- No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-party services
- Google and Apple process sign-in data when you authenticate with their identity services.
- Apple App Store and Google Play process purchase data for subscription and credit-pack billing and verification.
- Anthropic (Claude) and DeepSeek act as AI processors. Your prompts and astrology context (such as chart data) are sent to them through our self-hosted proxy to generate chat and forecast text.
- Google AdMob serves and measures banner ads and collects advertising data as described above.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers process data as needed to run the API, storage, and delivery systems.
International transfers
- We operate from India, and our processors may be located in other countries, including the United States. By using CosmicHora you understand that your data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, subject to appropriate safeguards required by applicable law.
Retention and deletion
- We keep your account data for as long as your account exists.
- You can delete your account in the app under Profile → Delete Account. This permanently removes your account, birth details, family charts, saved predictions, credits, subscription records, and sign-in sessions from our systems. If you have an active store subscription, cancel it in the App Store or Google Play first; deletion cannot cancel store billing.
- Backups are overwritten on a rolling schedule, so deleted data can remain in backups for up to 5 weeks before being erased.
- We may retain limited records where the law requires it, for example for tax and accounting.
Your rights and choices
- You can update your own saved birth details and any saved family chart from the app profile flows.
- You can choose not to save optional family details or optional profile context.
- Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may access, correct, update, and erase your personal data, nominate another person to exercise your rights, and use our grievance redressal contact below.
- If you are in the EU or UK, the GDPR also gives you rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, and the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
- You can withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account; this does not affect processing done before withdrawal.
- You manage subscription cancellation through the store account you used to purchase Premium, and you can control ad personalisation in your device settings.
Contact and grievances
- For privacy questions, data requests, or grievances, email support@cosmichora.app from your account email. We aim to respond within 30 days.
- Grievance contact: COSMICHORA, support@cosmichora.app. Our postal address and phone number are on our Help & Support page.
- We may update this policy; the date above shows the latest revision.
