YesAstrology provides astrology, tarot, numerology, and spiritual guidance tools to a global audience. To keep this platform safe, respectful, and legally compliant, every user must follow this Acceptable Use Policy. This policy explains what you can and cannot do when using our services, whether you are a casual visitor, a registered user, or an automated system interacting with our website. By accessing or using YesAstrology, you agree to abide by these rules. Violations may result in restricted access, account suspension, or legal action. We encourage you to read this policy carefully and revisit it periodically, as it may be updated to reflect new legal requirements or platform changes. This Acceptable Use Policy is part of our broader Terms of Service. It works alongside our Privacy Policy and [Cookie Policy](https://www.yesastrology.com/en/cookie-policy) to create a complete framework for responsible use. If you have questions about any part of this policy, please contact our support team. ## Purpose of This Policy This Acceptable Use Policy exists to protect YesAstrology, its users, and the integrity of our services. We want everyone to benefit from astrology readings, tarot insights, numerology reports, and spiritual guidance without fear of abuse, fraud, or harassment. Clear rules help maintain trust and safety across our community. The policy covers all interactions with YesAstrology, including website browsing, account registration, content submission, API usage, and any automated access. It applies to every user regardless of location or subscription status. By setting these expectations upfront, we reduce misunderstandings and create a consistent experience for everyone. This policy also helps YesAstrology comply with applicable laws, including data protection regulations like GDPR and CCPA. Prohibited activities such as hacking, data scraping, or posting illegal content could expose us and our users to legal risks. Therefore, enforcing this policy is not just about community standards but also about legal responsibility. ### Who Must Follow This Policy Every person or entity that accesses YesAstrology must comply with this Acceptable Use Policy. This includes individual users, businesses, researchers, automated bots, and any third-party services that interact with our platform. There are no exceptions for educational, non-profit, or personal use. If you are using YesAstrology on behalf of an organization, that organization is also responsible for any violations committed by its employees or agents. We recommend that organizations inform their teams about this policy and monitor compliance internally. ## Prohibited Activities YesAstrology prohibits several categories of harmful or illegal activities. These include, but are not limited to, the following: - Illegal conduct: Using the platform to commit any crime, facilitate illegal activity, or promote unlawful behavior. - Harassment and abuse: Threatening, stalking, intimidating, or harassing other users or staff members. - Hate speech: Posting content that promotes violence, discrimination, or hatred based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic. - Impersonation: Pretending to be YesAstrology staff, another user, or any other person or entity. - Spam and phishing: Sending unsolicited messages, fraudulent links, or deceptive content designed to obtain personal information. - Malware distribution: Uploading viruses, trojans, worms, or any other malicious code. This list is not exhaustive. YesAstrology reserves the right to determine whether any activity violates the spirit of this policy, even if not explicitly listed. ### Examples of Prohibited Content Prohibited content includes anything that is sexually explicit, violent, defamatory, or infringes on intellectual property rights. You may not post content that contains false or misleading information about astrology, tarot, or numerology that could cause harm. For example, making fraudulent claims about health, finances, or legal outcomes is strictly forbidden. Additionally, you cannot share content that violates any third-party copyright, trademark, or privacy right. This includes republishing YesAstrology's proprietary content without permission. ## Account Misuse and Abuse Creating and managing an account on YesAstrology comes with responsibilities. You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. Sharing your account credentials with others, or allowing unauthorized access to your account, is a violation of this policy. Each account is intended for individual use unless otherwise agreed in writing. Abusing the account system includes creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, using fake identities, or selling accounts to third parties. YesAstrology reserves the right to verify account information and suspend or terminate accounts that appear fraudulent or abusive. If you suspect that your account has been compromised, you must notify us immediately. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized use of your account due to your failure to maintain confidentiality. ### Consequences of Account Misuse Account misuse may result in immediate suspension or permanent termination of your account, loss of access to purchased reports or subscriptions, and a ban from creating future accounts. In severe cases, we may report the activity to relevant authorities. We will investigate all reports of account misuse thoroughly. If you believe an account has been wrongfully suspended, you can appeal by contacting our support team. ## Content Standards Users who submit content to YesAstrology, such as reviews, comments, forum posts, or user-generated readings, must adhere to specific content standards. All content must be accurate, respectful, and relevant to the platform's purpose. Misleading or harmful content undermines trust and damages the community. Specifically, you may not post content that is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, or invasive of another person's privacy. Content that promotes self-harm, suicide, or violence is strictly prohibited. We also forbid content that impersonates YesAstrology staff or other users. YesAstrology reserves the right to moderate, edit, or remove any user-generated content that violates these standards. We may also suspend or terminate the accounts of repeat offenders. If you encounter content that you believe violates this policy, please report it to our moderation team. ### User-Generated Content Moderation We use a combination of automated filters and human moderators to review user-generated content. Automated systems flag potentially problematic content for review, and moderators make final decisions based on this policy. We aim to review flagged content within 24 hours, but complex cases may take longer. If your content is removed and you believe it was a mistake, you can appeal the decision by contacting support. We will review the appeal and provide a final decision. ## Automated Access and Scraping YesAstrology invests significant resources in creating high-quality astrology, tarot, and numerology content. Automated scraping, data mining, or any form of bulk extraction of content without explicit written permission is strictly prohibited. This includes using bots, crawlers, or scripts to access or copy our website's content. Automated access can also degrade platform performance, compromise user privacy, and violate copyright laws. Even if you intend to use scraped data for research or personal projects, you must obtain prior written authorization from YesAstrology. Unauthorized scraping may result in IP blocking, legal action, and a permanent ban. If you have a legitimate need for automated access, such as academic research or integration, please contact us to discuss a potential agreement. We are open to collaborations that respect our terms and do not harm the platform or its users. ### What Constitutes Automated Access Automated access includes any software or script that sends requests to YesAstrology servers without direct human interaction. This includes web crawlers, data scrapers, automated testing tools, and API clients that are not explicitly authorized. Even if you use a tool that mimics human behavior, it is still considered automated access. We may use technical measures to detect and block automated access, including rate limiting, CAPTCHAs, and IP blacklisting. Bypassing these measures is a separate violation of this policy. ## Security and Platform Integrity YesAstrology takes platform security seriously. You must not attempt to bypass security measures, access restricted areas, or interfere with the proper functioning of the website. Prohibited actions include hacking, denial-of-service attacks, port scanning, and any form of network intrusion. You may not upload files that contain viruses, malware, or any code designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to our systems. Additionally, you must not attempt to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our infrastructure without explicit written permission from YesAstrology. If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it to our security team immediately. We appreciate responsible disclosure and will work with you to address the issue. Deliberately exploiting a vulnerability for personal gain or to harm others is a serious violation of this policy. ### Reporting Security Issues If you find a security flaw, please email our security team with a detailed description of the issue. Do not share the vulnerability publicly until we have had a reasonable opportunity to fix it. We will acknowledge receipt within 48 hours and provide updates as we work on a resolution. We do not offer bug bounties at this time, but we will publicly acknowledge your contribution if you wish. Responsible reporters will not face legal action. ## Enforcement Actions YesAstrology reserves the right to enforce this Acceptable Use Policy through a range of actions, depending on the severity and frequency of the violation. Enforcement actions may include issuing a warning, temporarily suspending access, permanently terminating an account, or pursuing legal remedies. We will investigate all reported violations thoroughly. Factors we consider include the nature of the violation, intent, prior history, and the impact on other users or the platform. We aim to be fair and proportionate, but we will take strong action against serious or repeated violations. If your account is suspended or terminated, you will receive a notification explaining the reason. You may appeal the decision by contacting our support team within 30 days. Appeals are reviewed by a different team member to ensure impartiality. ### Appeals Process To appeal an enforcement action, email our support team with your account details and a clear explanation of why you believe the action was incorrect. We will acknowledge your appeal within 5 business days and provide a final decision within 15 business days. If your appeal is denied, the decision is final. Repeated appeals without new information may be ignored. We do not offer third-party arbitration for enforcement disputes. ## Changes to This Policy YesAstrology may update this Acceptable Use Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or community standards. When we make material changes, we will notify users by email (if you have a registered account) or by posting a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of YesAstrology after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not agree with the changes, you must stop using the platform and, if applicable, close your account. The date of the last update is shown at the top of this page. We will maintain a changelog of significant revisions for transparency. Questions about this policy can be directed to our support team. ### How We Notify Users For minor changes, we may simply update the policy page with a new effective date. For major changes, we will send an email notification to registered users and display a banner on the website for at least 30 days. We recommend that you keep your account email address current to receive these notifications. If you do not have a registered account, please check this page periodically for updates.
