Privacy notice
We wrote this policy to explain, without legal padding, how Natal Chart Calculator treats information about the people who use the natal chart calculator on natal-chart.org. Everything below applies across the site, from the tool to the help articles.
About us and this policy
The website natal-chart.org is operated under the name Natal Chart Calculator and offers a free natal chart calculator. The operator of the site is responsible for your information, and the quickest way to reach them is by email at [email protected]. The operator is the “controller” of that data in the sense used by the GDPR.
Information we collect
Natal Chart Calculator has no registration, no logins and no paid plans, so there is no account data to collect. Whatever you enter into the natal chart calculator is handled by your browser itself; it is not transmitted to us or stored on our server. The only information collected is technical, coming from server logs, analytics and advertising, and each kind is explained below.
Local processing
To save you retyping, the natal chart calculator keeps some of your entries in your browser's local storage. Local storage is not transmitted with page requests, so the saved data never reaches our server. To erase it, clear the site data for natal-chart.org in your browser. Private or incognito windows discard it automatically.
About cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website, or a service embedded in it, saves in your browser; pixels and browser storage work in a similar way. The tool works without cookies of its own; those that appear are set by the analytics and advertising partners listed below. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the natal chart calculator will keep working, although ads may become less relevant.
How we measure use of the site
We use Yandex Metrica and Microsoft Clarity to understand how the site is used. Typical data points are the pages you open, the time spent on them, where you came from, your browser and device, and a rough location. We also use their session replay and heatmap features, which show clicks, scrolling and pointer movement, to see which parts of the natal chart calculator are hard to use. Yandex and Microsoft process this information under their own privacy policies, published on their websites. We review the reports to improve pages and do not try to work out who individual visitors are.
Ads on natal-chart.org
The site is funded by advertising, which keeps the natal chart calculator free. The networks that deliver ads may place cookies or use device information so that they can select ads, limit repeats and report on how ads perform. Some ads may be tailored to interests inferred from your browsing across different sites, where the law and your settings allow it. The networks act under their own privacy policies, and we do not pass them your tool inputs. To limit ad personalisation, block third-party cookies in your browser or use the opt-out tools at optout.aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.eu.
Server logs
Each time a page is requested, the web server writes an entry to its logs, as web servers normally do. These logs hold the IP address, user agent string, time of access and the address of the page requested. We rely on them for security, troubleshooting and simple statistics.
Why we may process data (EEA and UK visitors)
Where the GDPR or the UK GDPR applies, processing relies on these grounds:
- Consent where the law requires it for analytics and advertising technologies.
- Legitimate interests in keeping the site secure, working and free, balanced against your rights.
- Providing the service you ask for, which covers the local storage that remembers your entries.
- Correspondence: emails you send are used only to respond to you.
Where data is processed
The services we use, including hosting, analytics and advertising providers, may process data in countries other than your own. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from the laws where you live.
Data retention
Data is kept no longer than necessary, and server logs are removed after a limited period unless an entry is needed to deal with a security incident. Entries in local storage remain until you clear them. Correspondence is kept while it is needed to answer you and handle any follow-up. Third-party services keep the data they collect for the periods set out in their own policies.
What you can ask us
If European or UK data protection law applies to you, you may access, rectify and erase your data, restrict or object to processing, and receive it in a portable form. Consent you have given can be withdrawn whenever you like. Since the site has no user accounts, we can usually find data about you only if you give us details like your IP address and the time of your visit.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular where you live or work. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected].
Notice for California residents
If you are a California resident, the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives you the right to know what personal information is collected about you, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense: we never hand over visitor data for money. However, letting ad networks use cookies for personalised advertising may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law. You can opt out by turning on the Global Privacy Control signal in your browser, blocking third-party cookies, or contacting us. Using these rights will not change how the site works for you.
Children's privacy
Natal Chart Calculator is a general-audience site and is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 in the EEA and the UK. We do not knowingly collect data from children. Parents or guardians who think a child has contacted us can ask us to delete that information.
Keeping data safe
The site is served over HTTPS, so traffic between your browser and natal-chart.org is encrypted. Only those who run the site can access the server and its logs. No method is completely secure, but what you enter into the natal chart calculator never reaches our server.
Changes
This policy is updated when our practices change. Whatever appears here is the policy that applies.
