Understand your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and how YesAstrology handles your personal data.

Your privacy matters to us. This California Privacy Notice supplements the information in our general Privacy Policy and applies solely to residents of California. It explains how YesAstrology collects, uses, and shares your personal information, and outlines the rights you have under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

Whether you are exploring your birth chart, checking daily horoscopes, or using our free calculators, we want you to feel confident about how your data is handled. This notice covers the categories of personal information we have collected in the past 12 months, where it comes from, why we use it, and who we share it with. It also walks you through how to exercise your privacy rights, including access, deletion, and opting out of the sale of your data.

We update this notice as laws and practices evolve. Checking back periodically helps you stay informed. If you have questions, our Help Center is always open.

## Your California Privacy Rights

Under California law, you have specific rights regarding your personal information. These rights are designed to give you more control over your data and how it is used. YesAstrology respects these rights and provides clear ways for you to exercise them.

Your rights include the right to know what personal information we collect, use, share, and sell. You can request a copy of the specific pieces of information we hold about you. You also have the right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain exceptions. Additionally, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights. That means we will not deny you services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of quality because you made a privacy request.

### Right to Know and Access

You can ask us to disclose what personal information we have collected about you in the preceding 12 months. This includes the categories of data, the sources, the business purpose for collection, and the categories of third parties with whom we shared it. We will provide this information free of charge within 45 days of your verified request.

### Right to Deletion

You can request that we delete any personal information we have collected from you. We will honor your request unless we need to retain the data for certain legal or operational reasons, such as completing a transaction, detecting security incidents, or complying with a legal obligation. If we cannot delete everything, we will explain why.

### Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

California defines the sale of personal information broadly. If we share data with third parties for advertising or analytics that could be considered a sale, you have the right to opt out. YesAstrology does not sell personal information in the traditional sense, but we may share data with advertising partners. You can opt out by clicking the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link on our website.

## Categories of Personal Information Collected

In the past 12 months, YesAstrology has collected the following categories of personal information from California residents. These categories are defined by the CCPA and help you understand exactly what data we handle.

| Category | Examples | Collected |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Identifiers | Name, email address, IP address, account name | Yes |
| Internet or electronic network activity | Browsing history, search history, interaction with our website | Yes |
| Geolocation data | Approximate location based on IP address | Yes |
| Inferences drawn from other personal information | Astrological profile, preferences, characteristics | Yes |
| Commercial information | Products or services purchased, obtained, or considered | Yes |

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as social security numbers, health data, or biometric information. The data we collect is limited to what is necessary to provide you with personalized astrological content and improve your experience.

### Identifiers and Contact Information

When you create an account, sign up for our newsletter, or use our tools, we may collect your name, email address, and IP address. This helps us identify you, deliver services, and communicate with you about your account and horoscope updates.

### Internet Activity and Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with our website. This includes pages visited, time spent on each page, links clicked, and the device or browser you use. This data helps us improve our site and tailor content to your interests.

### Inferences About Your Preferences

Based on your birth date, time, and location, as well as your interactions with our content, we may infer your zodiac sign, dominant planets, and astrological preferences. These inferences allow us to provide personalized horoscopes and recommendations.

## Sources of Personal Information

We collect personal information from several sources to deliver accurate and personalized astrological insights. Understanding where your data comes from helps you feel more in control.

- Directly from you: When you fill out forms, create an account, purchase a report, or contact customer support, you provide us with information like your name, email, and birth details.
- Automatically through your use of our site: We use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect data about your browsing behavior, device, and location.
- From third parties: We may receive information from analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms when you interact with our content on those platforms.

We do not purchase personal information from data brokers. The information we collect is directly relevant to providing you with astrological services and improving your experience on YesAstrology.

### Information You Provide Directly

This is the most common source. When you sign up for a free account, we ask for your name and email. To generate a birth chart, we need your birth date, time, and location. This data is essential for accurate astrological calculations.

### Automatically Collected Information

Like most websites, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies. These collect information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages viewed. This helps us understand how visitors use our site and allows us to improve functionality and content.

### Information from Third Parties

We may receive data from analytics services like Google Analytics, which aggregates usage patterns. If you log in via a social media account, we may receive profile information from that platform, subject to your privacy settings there.

## How We Use Personal Information

We use the personal information we collect for specific business purposes that are directly related to providing you with astrological services and a personalized experience. Each use is grounded in a legitimate need and respects your privacy.

- To provide and maintain our services: This includes generating birth charts, horoscopes, compatibility reports, and personalized content based on your astrological data.
- To improve and personalize your experience: We analyze usage patterns to recommend relevant articles, tools, and reports that match your interests.
- To communicate with you: We send account-related notifications, newsletters, and promotional offers if you have opted in. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- For security and fraud prevention: We use data to detect and prevent unauthorized access, spam, and other malicious activities.
- To comply with legal obligations: We may use your information to respond to lawful requests from authorities or to enforce our terms of service.

We do not use your personal information for purposes that are incompatible with these stated purposes without notifying you and obtaining your consent where required.

### Personalization of Astrological Content

Your birth chart data is the foundation of our personalized services. We use your sun, moon, and rising signs, along with planetary positions, to generate daily horoscopes and detailed reports. This makes your experience uniquely relevant to your astrological profile.

### Marketing and Communications

With your consent, we may send you emails about new features, special offers, or astrological insights. You can manage your preferences in your account settings or click the unsubscribe link in any email. We respect your inbox and limit promotional messages.

## Information Sharing and Disclosure

YesAstrology does not sell your personal information for money. However, under California law, certain data sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered a sale. We share information with trusted third parties only for specific business purposes.

- Service providers: We share data with companies that help us operate our website, process payments, send emails, and analyze usage. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the services we request.
- Advertising partners: We may share hashed identifiers and browsing activity with advertising networks to show you relevant ads on other platforms. You can opt out of this sharing.
- Legal and safety reasons: We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, or to prevent harm.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes without your consent.

### Service Providers We Use

Our service providers include hosting providers, email delivery services, payment processors, and analytics platforms. Each provider is vetted and required to maintain strict confidentiality and security measures. They cannot use your data for any purpose other than what we specify.

### Advertising and Analytics Partners

We use tools like Google Analytics and advertising networks to understand our audience and deliver relevant ads. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your visits. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or our cookie consent tool.

## Your Rights Under California Law

California law grants you several rights regarding your personal information. These rights are designed to give you transparency and control. Here is a summary of what you can do:

- Right to Know: Request details about the personal information we have collected about you in the past 12 months.
- Right to Delete: Ask us to delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to exceptions.
- Right to Opt Out: Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising purposes.

To exercise your rights, please submit a verifiable request through our designated methods. We will confirm receipt within 10 days and respond within 45 days. If we need more time, we will explain why.

### How to Submit a Request

You can submit a privacy request by emailing us at privacy@yesastrology.com or by using our online Privacy Request form. For requests to know or delete, we may need to verify your identity to protect your data. We may ask you to log into your account or provide additional information matching our records.

### Authorized Agent Requests

You can designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. The agent must provide written permission signed by you, and we may still verify your identity directly. We will respond to the agent within the same timeframe.

## Exercising Your Privacy Rights

Taking action on your privacy rights is straightforward. Here is the step-by-step process to exercise your rights under California law:

1. Identify the right you want to exercise: Know, delete, opt out, or correct.
2. Submit your request: Use the email or online form provided. Include your name, email, and details about what you are requesting.
3. Verify your identity: We may ask you to confirm your account details or provide additional verification to ensure the request is legitimate.
4. Wait for our response: We will acknowledge receipt within 10 days and provide a substantive response within 45 days.
5. Appeal if necessary: If we deny your request, we will explain why and provide instructions on how to appeal the decision.

We aim to make this process as smooth as possible. If you encounter any issues, our support team is ready to assist.

### Opt-Out Preference Signal

Some browsers and browser extensions allow you to send a global privacy control signal, such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC). YesAstrology honors these signals as a valid opt-out request for the browser you are using. If you enable GPC, we will treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information.
