Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Your privacy is critically important to us. It is Zodiac Magic's policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website at https://zodiacmagic.com.

We have adopted this Privacy Policy to explain what information may be collected on our website, how we use it, and under what circumstances we may disclose it to third parties. This policy applies only to information we collect through the website and does not apply to information collected from other sources.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms and Conditions posted on our website, sets forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our website. Depending on your activities when visiting our website, you may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions.

2. Website Visitors

Like most website operators, Zodiac Magic collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as:

• Browser type and version
• Language preference
• Referring site and referring URL
• Date and time of each visitor request
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Device type and approximate location (country-level)

Zodiac Magic's purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how our visitors use the website. From time to time, Zodiac Magic may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate — for example, by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

Zodiac Magic also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for users leaving comments on our blog posts. Zodiac Magic only discloses commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

3. Gathering Of Personally-Identifying Information

Certain visitors to Zodiac Magic's website choose to interact with us in ways that require us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information we gather depends on the nature of the interaction:

Newsletter subscription

• First name and email address

Contact form / support emails

• Name, email address, and the content of your message

eBook purchase

• Name, email address, and payment details — handled entirely by our payment processor Payhip (see Section 7)

Blog comments

• Name, email address, and comment content

We do not collect your birth chart details, birth time, birth location, or any sensitive personal information. We do not store payment card data — that stays entirely with Payhip and its processors.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect only for these purposes:

• Deliver your ebook — sending the download link and receipt
• Send our newsletter — occasional emails about new tools, guides, and insights you subscribed for
• Respond to messages — replying to contact form submissions and support emails
• Improve the site — analyzing which tools and articles are useful
• Show relevant ads — via Google AdSense and its advertising partners (see Section 8)
• Track affiliate performance — knowing which links are being clicked (see Section 9)
• Prevent abuse — basic spam protection on our forms

We do not send marketing emails to people who haven't subscribed. We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your data with advertisers or data brokers. Ever.

5. Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us. However, no method of transmission over the Internet and no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information — including HTTPS encryption on all pages and secure third-party infrastructure — we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If we ever become aware of a data breach affecting your information, we will notify affected users by email within 72 hours.

6. Cookies

To enrich and perfect your online experience, Zodiac Magic uses cookies, similar technologies, and services provided by others to display personalized content, appropriate advertising, and to store your preferences on your computer.

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor's computer, and that the visitor's browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Zodiac Magic uses cookies to help us identify and track visitors, their usage of the website, and their website access preferences.

Zodiac Magic visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Zodiac Magic's website. The drawback is that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

By continuing to navigate our website without changing your cookie settings, you hereby acknowledge and agree to Zodiac Magic's use of cookies.

You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. Third-Party Services We Use

We rely on a small set of trusted third-party services to run Zodiac Magic. Each has its own privacy policy:

8. Advertisements & Remarketing

Ads appearing on our website may be delivered to users by advertising partners, who may set cookies. These cookies allow the ad server to recognize your computer each time they send you an online advertisement, in order to compile information about you or others who use your computer.

This information allows ad networks to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to you. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Zodiac Magic and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

Google AdWords / AdSense Remarketing

Zodiac Magic may use remarketing services to advertise on third-party websites (including Google) to previous visitors to our site. This means we may advertise to previous visitors who haven't completed a task on our site — for example, using the contact form to make an inquiry.

This could be in the form of an advertisement on the Google search results page, or a site in the Google Display Network. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on someone's past visits. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and Google's privacy policy.

You can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ads Preferences page. If you wish, you can opt out of interest-based advertising entirely via cookie settings or permanently using a browser plugin.

10. Links To External Sites

Our Service may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site.

We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy and the terms and conditions of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites, products, or services.

11. Protection Of Personal Information

Zodiac Magic discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations that:

• Need to know that information in order to process it on Zodiac Magic's behalf or to provide services available at Zodiac Magic's website, and
• Have agreed not to disclose it to others.

Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country. By using Zodiac Magic's website, you consent to the transfer of such information to them.

Zodiac Magic will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone, other than to its employees, contractors, and affiliated organizations as described above.

Zodiac Magic discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, or when Zodiac Magic believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Zodiac Magic, third parties, or the public at large.

If you are a registered user of Zodiac Magic's website and have supplied your email address, Zodiac Magic may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what's going on with Zodiac Magic and our products. We primarily use our blog to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum.

If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request, or to help us support other users. Any published request will be anonymized before publication.

Zodiac Magic takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

12. Aggregated Statistics

Zodiac Magic may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its website. Zodiac Magic may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Zodiac Magic does not disclose your personally-identifying information.

13. How Long We Keep Your Data

• Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe. After unsubscribing, we keep your email on a suppression list so we don't accidentally re-add you.
• Contact form messages: retained for up to 24 months, then deleted.
• Purchase records: retained as required by tax and accounting law (usually 7 years).
• Analytics data: automatically expires based on Google Analytics' default retention.
• Blog comments: retained as long as the post is live, unless you request removal.

• Right to access — request a copy of the data we hold about you

• Right to deletion — ask us to delete your data ("right to be forgotten")

To exercise any of these rights, email us at admin@zodiacmagic.com. We'll respond within 30 days.

If you are in the EU or UK (GDPR), or in India (DPDP Act 2023), you have specific legal rights we honor fully.

Zodiac Magic is not intended for children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us immediately at admin@zodiacmagic.com and we will delete it.

16. International Data Transfers
