Data use
Understand saved birth chart data, access through result links, browser storage, location searches and your analytics cookie choice.
Vedic calculator data use
The Vedic tool does not ask for your name and does not save the result in browser storage; the result disappears when the page is reloaded. The birth details you enter and the calculated result are added to the calculation records described below. Place search uses Nominatim. The result-link explanations below refer to the Western chart on the home page.
Information processed with a calculation
For the Western calculator, the submitted name, birth date, time and place are stored in the server database with the calculated result. The request also processes IP address, browser information, language and a referring page when present. The interface sends technical details such as screen dimensions and device time zone. This page describes current behaviour; avoid entering unnecessary personal information.
Who can access a result link?
The result page does not require an account login. Anyone who knows its link can view the submitted name, birth details and calculation. Results are excluded from the sitemap and search engines are instructed not to index them. That instruction is not password protection. Share a link only with people you want to see those details.
Location lookup and activity summaries
A location query and language are sent to Nominatim using OpenStreetMap data. Your name and birth date are not added to that lookup. The home page may display calculation counts, location and device type, plus selected sign results. These summaries do not display the name or full birth date.
Browser storage and cookie choices
Saved chart lists are kept in this browser’s local storage. Clearing browser data can remove that list but does not delete a calculation from the server. Cookie preferences are stored on the device too. If Google Analytics is configured, it loads only after analytics consent. You can calculate a chart without accepting analytics cookies.
Site statistics and calculation records
To improve the site we keep our own statistics: the pages viewed, time on page, where you came from (the referring page your browser sends and campaign tags), browser, operating system, device type, screen size, language and time zone. IP addresses are stored only with the last block set to zero and are turned into an approximate country and city when the record is created. No cookie or identifier is placed on your device for this. Every calculation on the site, including the name tools that run in your browser, is recorded together with the details entered and the result. Only the site administrator can see these records. To tell automated visits (bots) apart, we also look at the browser's automation flag, the name of its graphics renderer, touch support, whether there was any interaction with the page and the network the IP address belongs to (for example a data center); these are used only to keep the statistics accurate.
Retention
The current version does not apply an automatic deletion period to calculation records. Removing a chart from the browser list does not remove its server record. Keep this in mind when entering information and sharing result links. This explanation must be updated whenever the actual data processing changes.
