Privacy Policy — Astro Queen

This policy is specific to Astro Queen; the other products of Gany Yazılım A.Ş. are covered by the company's general privacy policy.

Data controller: Gany Yazılım A.Ş., Muallimköy Mh. Deniz Cd. No: 143/13 İç Kapı No: 342, Gebze / Kocaeli / Türkiye.

1. Scope

This policy covers two places: the Astro Queen mobile app on iOS and Android, and the astroqueen.app website.

The website creates no account, sets no tracking cookies and does not store the birth data you enter. What you type into the birth chart calculator is sent to the server only to run the calculation and is not saved; your theme and language preference stay in your browser.

Most of the sections below concern the mobile app; for the website, this section is the whole statement.

2. What we collect

2.1 When you create your account

Phone number — the only way to sign in; confirmed with an SMS code.
Name — to address you in readings and to appear in matching.
Birth date, time and place (city + coordinates) — required to calculate your chart.
App language — to decide the language of your content.
Interests (if you pick any) — to steer readings toward the topics you care about.
Profile photo (optional) — visible only inside the app.

We do not collect an email address. Because the system needs a technical identifier, an internal address is derived irreversibly from your phone number.

2.2 Data created while you use the app

The readings and reports we generate (birth chart, daily reading, compatibility and so on) are stored against your account so you can open them again.
The questions you ask Astro Queen and the answers you get are stored, both to show you your history and to monitor service quality and cost.
Summary notes about you: the AI derives a short "getting to know you" summary from your conversations (themes you care about, your preferences) and personalises later readings with it. You can delete this summary from inside the app.
Your star spends and question rights — which content you unlocked and when.
Your notification preferences, device push token, time zone and the hours during which you do not want notifications.

2.3 Other people you add

If you add someone else's name and birth details for compatibility (synastry), that information is stored against your account. It is your responsibility to get their permission before adding their details. You can delete a person you added at any time.

2.4 Your contacts

We ask permission to find people you know who already use the app. If you grant it:

The names and raw phone numbers in your address book never leave your device.
Numbers are turned into an irreversible fingerprint (SHA-256) on the device; only those fingerprints are sent to the server.
The server compares them with registered users' fingerprints, returns the matches, and does not store the list you sent.
Only if you send someone an invite is that person's number fingerprint kept for the lifetime of the invite, so we can recognise who it was for.

You do not have to grant this permission; you can also add people manually.

2.5 Location

We do not access your device location. Your birth place is the city you choose yourself.

2.6 Technical diagnostics

If the app crashes or slows down, a technical error record is created so we can see the cause (error message, app version, device model, the screens you passed through before the error). These records do not include your name, phone number, birth details or the text of your questions, and we do not link them to your account.

3. Purposes and legal bases

Performance of a contract — creating your account, calculating your chart, generating readings and reports, subscription and purchase records.
Your consent — contact matching, sending notifications and the optional profile photo. You can withdraw consent from your device settings or inside the app.
Legitimate interests — security of the service, monitoring abuse and cost, fixing errors.
Legal obligation — purchase records that tax and accounting law requires us to keep.

4. Who we share data with

We do not sell your data and we share it with no one for advertising. To run the service we use these providers:

Twilio Verify — phone number — SMS verification code.
OpenRouter (AI) — your name, the astrological data calculated from your chart, your question, summary notes about you — generating readings and answers.
RevenueCat — your user id, purchase records — subscription and star balance management.
Apple App Store / Google Play — payment details (which never reach us) — purchases.
Sentry — technical error records — debugging.
Expo — push token — sending notifications.

Your raw birth date, time and address are never sent to the AI; only the sky positions calculated from them. We do not send your surname either.

We may also share data with the authorities where a legal obligation arises (a court order, for example).

5. International transfer

Some of our providers are located outside Türkiye, so your data may be transferred abroad. Transfers happen only to the extent needed to provide the service and under the safeguards required by applicable law.

6. How long we keep it

Your account data is kept for as long as your account exists.
If you delete your account, your profile, birth details, chart, readings, reports, the people you added and your notification record are deleted.
If you change your birth details, content generated from your old chart (your reports, personal readings, horoscopes and compatibility results with saved people) is deleted and your chart is recalculated. The reason is accuracy, not retention: text written for the wrong birth moment cannot be corrected. Before deleting, the app shows you exactly what will go and asks for confirmation. Your membership, star balance and question rights are not affected.
AI usage records (including the text of questions and answers) are kept separately for 12 months for cost and abuse monitoring, then deleted.
Purchase records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires.

7. Exercising your rights

Delete your account — in the app, Settings → Delete Account. Deletion is permanent.
Download your data — Settings → Download My Data gives you a copy of your data as a PDF. The file is created on your device and handed straight to the system share sheet; no copy reaches our servers. It contains your phone number, birth details, saved people, question history and reports — keep that in mind when sharing it.
Correction — you can change your name, birth details and preferences inside the app.
Withdrawing permissions — you can turn off contacts and notification permissions in your device settings.
For your rights of access, objection and complaint under GDPR and Turkish data protection law (KVKK), write to the address below.

8. Security

Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is limited to the people who need it for their work. No system is completely secure; if a breach affects your data we will notify you as the law requires.

9. Children

Astro Queen is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.

10. The nature of the content

The astrological readings in the app and on this site are for entertainment and personal insight. They are not medical, legal, financial or psychological advice.

11. Changes

If we update this policy we will let you know inside the app and change the date above.
