Plain language, no legal boilerplate padding
Privacy Policy
This page explains, in plain terms, what actually happens to your data when you use Birth Chart Calculator: not a generic template, but a description of what this specific tool's code actually does. The short version: your birth date, time, and coordinates are never sent to any server, there's no account or tracking cookie, and the only outside network request the tool makes is an optional city-name search if you use it.
Your birth date, time, and place: calculated on your device, never uploaded
When you enter your birth details and click "Calculate my birth chart," the astrology calculation runs entirely inside your own browser tab, using your device's own processor. That date, time, and set of coordinates never becomes part of an HTTP request to any server, ours or anyone else's. Once you close the tab or navigate away, nothing about the chart you calculated is kept anywhere; this site has no database and no record of what anyone has calculated.
The one network request this tool makes: the city search box
If you use the "Find" button to search for your birthplace by name, your browser sends that search text (for example, "Chicago, USA") to Nominatim, a public, free geocoding service run by the OpenStreetMap Foundation, to look up matching coordinates. That request contains only the text you typed into the search box; it never includes your birth date or time, because the search happens before you've necessarily even finished entering those. If you'd rather avoid this request entirely, the manual latitude and longitude fields underneath the search box work exactly the same way without it.
No accounts, no passwords, no personal profile
There is no sign-up, login, or account system anywhere on this site. Nothing you calculate here is tied to an identity, an email address, or a persistent profile, because no such system exists to tie it to.
What this site does store locally, on your device
A small amount of information is saved in your browser's own local storage (not a cookie, and not sent to any server automatically) so the tool behaves sensibly on your next visit:
- Your last entered birth details: date, time, place search text, coordinates, and chosen house system, saved so you don't have to re-enter them if you come back or accidentally refresh the page.
- Theme preference: whether you last chose light or dark mode.
- Feedback vote flag: a marker recording that you already voted 👍 or 👎, so you aren't shown the same prompt repeatedly.
The optional feedback button
If you choose to click the 👍 or 👎 feedback button, your browser sends a small anonymous message containing exactly two pieces of information: which page you rated, and which way you voted. No cookie, IP address, or device fingerprint is attached to that message by this site's own code, and it is used purely as an aggregate counter, never to build a profile of you individually. As with any request to any website, the underlying network connection necessarily passes through our hosting provider's infrastructure (Cloudflare), which, like virtually every website host, keeps standard connection-level logs (such as IP address and timestamp) for operating and securing the service; that's a property of how the internet and this site's hosting work, not something this site's own application code additionally collects or stores.
Analytics: cookie-free, aggregated, no individual tracking
This site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for basic traffic statistics: for example, how many people visit, which pages are popular, and how fast pages load. Cloudflare Web Analytics is specifically designed to work without cookies and without any persistent client-side identifier, and it does not track you across other websites. It reports aggregated numbers, not individual visitor histories. No banner asking you to "accept cookies" appears on this site, because no tracking cookie is set that would require one.
Fonts and other assets: self-hosted, no third-party requests
The typeface used on this site (Inter) is hosted on this site's own servers rather than loaded live from Google Fonts or any other third-party font service. That means simply viewing a page here doesn't trigger a separate request to a font company that could, on some sites, be used to build a browsing profile.
Advertising
To be direct about where this site stands today: no third-party advertising is currently served on this site. The layout reserves a labelled, fixed-height space for advertising that may be added in the future to help cover hosting costs, but as of now that space is empty and loads nothing: no ad script, no ad cookie, no ad tracking. If that changes, this page will be updated to describe exactly what's added and what data, if any, the ad provider collects, before it goes live.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, largely because it doesn't collect personal information from anyone at all, given there's no account system or server-side storage to begin with.
Your choices and control
Because everything this site stores about your visit lives in your own browser's local storage rather than on a server, you're always in full control of it: clearing your browser's site data for this domain (through your browser's own settings) removes your saved birth details, theme preference, and feedback-vote flag immediately and completely. There's no account to delete and no server-side profile to request removal of, because none exists.
Changes to this policy
If what this site collects or how it works changes (for example, if advertising is added), this page will be updated to describe the change plainly, in the same style as the rest of this page, rather than buried in dense legal language.
