Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information Zodovia ("we", "us", "our") collects, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data.

1. Information We Collect

Information collected automatically

  • Device data: browser type, operating system, and IP address

Payment information

We do not store your payment card details. All payments are processed by Paddle.com, our Merchant of Record. Paddle's privacy policy governs the handling of your payment data. We receive only a subscription status and subscriber ID from Paddle.

We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your birth data for any purpose other than generating your astrological content.

3. AI-Generated Content

Your birth chart data is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to generate personalised readings and horoscopes. This data is transmitted securely and is governed by Anthropic's privacy and data use policies. We do not store any data with Anthropic beyond what is necessary for the API request.

We do not share your data with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties.
