This Privacy Policy explains how AI Astro GPT (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use aiastrogpt.com and related apps that connect to the same backend.

Our commitment in plain language

• We do not sell your Google account details, email, or date of birth to advertisers or data brokers.
• We do not use your birth data or account profile for unrelated marketing or profiling.
• Birth date, time, and place are used only to calculate and display the astrology features you request (Horas, Kundli, matching, analytics).
• Question-and-answer analytics may be reviewed in aggregated or de-identified form for research and development to improve report quality — not to identify you publicly.
• We treat user details as confidential and apply reasonable technical and administrative safeguards.
