Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 October 2026

Birth details are intimate personal data. This policy explains, plainly, what we collect and what we do with it.

Birth details

Analytics

We use one analytics tool to understand which pages are useful: Google Analytics 4. It records page views, approximate region, device type and referring site. We do not sell personal data to anyone, ever.

One thing worth saying explicitly, because it is the whole point of how we built this. When you generate a chart, your birth details are encoded into the part of the web address after the # symbol. That fragment is never transmitted to any web server — that is how the browser works — which is what lets us give you a shareable link without storing anything.

By default, Google Analytics reports the full address of each page you view, fragment included. That would have sent your birth date, time and coordinates to Google. We have switched off Google’s automatic page tracking and replaced it with our own, which strips that fragment before anything is sent — from both the page address and the referrer. Google receives the page you visited. It does not receive your birth details.

The site also keeps its own daily counts — how many times each page or tool was used, with no visitor id, no address and no cookie. One of those counts is the kind of place a visit came from, as a single word (search, a shared link, one of our emails, another website, or unknown) — never the address itself. Links you share from the site carry ?ref=share for this, which the page removes from the address bar. When you press Pay, that same single word is saved with your order, so we can see which kinds of places lead to sales. Nothing else about the visit is kept with it.

Purchases

Payments are taken by Razorpay (UPI and Indian payment methods), Stripe (cards, including from abroad) or PayPal (US dollars, for buyers outside India). Each collects what it needs to take the payment — such as your email address, phone number, and for Stripe your name, billing address and card details — under its own privacy policy; Indian payment rules require some of these. We never see your card or bank details. Razorpay’s and PayPal’s payment windows open on a separate page of this site that holds none of your birth details. From the payment provider we receive the email address and an order reference, and we keep three things in our own database (run by Neon): that order reference, the licence key issued for it, and the email address it was sent to — so that the page you return to after paying can unlock itself, and so we can resend a key you have lost. Nothing about your chart is part of a purchase, because we never have it. Ask and we will delete the record; your key will keep working.

On the payment page you can tick a box asking for a reminder if you don’t finish paying. Only if you tick it, we keep your email address, the product and the time, and — if you haven’t bought anything an hour later — send you one email with a link back. Never more than one reminder a week, nothing else is sent, and the record is deleted after 30 days.

For the Monthly Outlook subscription we also keep Stripe’s subscription and customer references, the subscription’s status and the date the current month ends, which Stripe sends us whenever they change. That is how a subscription key knows whether it should still work. The month itself is computed in your browser like everything else; we never receive your chart, and the city you choose for the day calendar is remembered only in your browser.

The chart reader (chat)

The chart reader at /ask is the one place where something derived from your chart leaves your device, and only after you agree to it. Your chart is computed in your browser as everywhere else; what is sent to answer your question is the chart itself — signs, houses, nakshatras, yogas and the dates of your planetary periods — together with the conversation. Your birth date, time, place and name are never sent, and dates that would reveal them (a period that began at your birth, the start of your yearly chart) are removed or rounded first. Be clear about one thing: a chart is worked out from the moment of birth, and the dates of the planetary periods in particular depend on the Moon’s exact position then, so someone with astronomy software could work back from what is sent to your exact birth date and time (not your birthplace). The AI provider does not do this, but it is possible. Treat it as personal, and don’t use the chart reader if that matters to you. Day-by-day timings (sunrise, Rahu kalam, muhurat) are only ever calculated for a city you choose from our list, never for your birthplace.

The conversation is passed to Anthropic, which provides the AI (Claude), to write the answer; Anthropic does not use it to train its models. We do not store the conversation. So that you can read your past conversations again, they are kept in your own browser on your device (its local storage) — never on our servers; you can switch this off, delete one, or clear them all on the chart reader page. Free questions are counted against your account (below). To limit misuse we also keep a random identifier for your browser (in a small cookie named bb_cid, sent only to the chat) and a hashed form of your network address, each with a count beside it — nothing else. Anything that calculates dates or calendars for an answer is run in your browser, not on our servers.

Accounts

You sign in with Google or with a one-time code we email you. Either way we keep only your email address, when the account was made and last used, and, for Google, Google’s account number for you (so the same Google account always signs into the same place). We never see or store a password. Signing in sets a cookie named bb_session that says which email is signed in on that browser; it lasts 90 days or until you sign out.

Your purchases are found by the email address you paid with, so anything bought with that address opens when you are signed in. Your birth details are not part of your account: they stay in your browser as before. You can delete your account at any time from the account page; that removes the account and its sign-in records, but not the record of a purchase, which we keep for tax and refund purposes.

Saved charts

Birth details normally never leave your browser. The one exception is a chart you choose to save to your account: only when you tick the box and press “Save chart” do we store that chart’s date, time and place, encrypted (AES-256), with the name you give it. Only you, signed in, can open it. Delete it from your account page at any time; deleting your account deletes every saved chart.

The daily note (Monthly Outlook). If you turn on the daily note for a saved chart, each morning our server opens that chart in memory, works out the day from it (birth star, Moon, running period) and emails the result to your account address. We store only which chart you chose and the language; the birth details stay encrypted and are not written anywhere else. It stops when you turn it off, when the subscription ends or when you delete the chart.

Paying for a Match Report

So that the report can open again when you come back from the payment page, the two charts you entered are kept in that browser tab’s own temporary storage (sessionStorage) while you pay. They are never sent to us or to the payment provider, and the browser clears them when the tab is closed. Paying by UPI works the same way for every report: the address of the page you paid from is kept in that tab while you pay, so you come straight back to your chart.

Daily panchang email

If you sign up for the daily panchang email we store your email address, the city and language you chose, when you signed up and when you confirmed — nothing else, and no birth details. Nothing is sent until you click the link in the confirmation email; if you never click it, the address is deleted after eight days. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes the row immediately. To stop people being emailed repeatedly, we count signup attempts against a keyed hash of the network address and of the email address; these counters hold no readable address.

Share images

When you make a share image of a chart or a match, the signs, nakshatra, dasha lord or score shown on it are sent to our server to draw the picture — never your birth date, time or place. The image is not stored with anything that identifies you.

Email

If you subscribe to the horoscope email (daily, weekly or monthly) or buy a product, we use your email to deliver what you asked for. The horoscope list is kept in our own database: your email address, the page you signed up from, your Moon sign, how often you want it and the language. Nothing is sent until you confirm from the email we send you; an unconfirmed signup is deleted after eight days. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link and a link to change your sign, frequency or language, and unsubscribing deletes your address and sign straight away.

How a key counts charts

Each report key, and each Monthly Outlook subscription, covers up to three different charts (or, for the Match Report, three couples). To count them, your browser works out a one-way fingerprint of the chart — a SHA-256 hash of the birth date, time and place — and sends only that, with the key (and, in the chart reader, only when a subscription is in use). Our server scrambles it once more with a secret of its own before storing it next to a scrambled form of the key, and keeps nothing else about the chart. Be aware that a fingerprint of something as short as a birth date, time and town is not impossible to reverse by trying every combination; we never attempt it, and what we store can’t be tried that way without our server’s secret. Opening the same chart again never counts twice. If you need a chart freed up — a typo in a birth time, say — write to us.

Support chat

The help page, your account page and the pages that describe our paid products show a chat button. It is run by ItzSEO, the service we also use to send email, and it loads only on those pages — never on a calculator, a report or the chart reader, which are the pages that hold birth details. If you use it, ItzSEO stores what you write, the name and email address you give, and the address of the page you were on, so that we can reply. The button remembers in your browser whether you have an open conversation. Please don’t put birth details in a support chat; we never need them to fix a purchase. Ask us and we will delete a conversation.

A mistake we made, and fixed

Between 2 September and 9 October 2026, signing up from a results page also sent a short summary of your chart — typically your ascendant, moon sign and birth star, and on the mangal dosha page your dosha status — which was stored alongside your email address.

Your birth date, time and place were never transmitted or stored, so what this page said remained literally true. It was not true in spirit. Nobody reading “computed on your own device” expects their moon sign filed next to their name, and we should not have built it that way.

It has been removed, and the server now accepts only a fixed list of page names, so it cannot happen again by accident. If you signed up in that window and would like the record deleted, write to hello@bhagyabidata.com and we will remove it — no questions, no form.

Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data at any time by writing to hello@bhagyabidata.com. EU/EEA visitors have rights under GDPR, including complaint to a supervisory authority.

Cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies (named _ga and similar) to tell returning visitors from new ones. They contain a random identifier, not anything you typed. The chart reader sets one more, bb_cid, holding the random identifier that counts your free questions, and signing in sets bb_session, which says which email is signed in on that browser. The calculators themselves work with cookies blocked, and nothing on this site is gated behind accepting them.

An earlier version of this page said the site used no tracking cookies. That stopped being true when we added Google Analytics in September 2026, so we changed the page rather than leaving a comfortable sentence standing. If you would rather not be counted, any browser-level tracker blocker will stop it, and nothing about the site will break.
