Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Zodiacal collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you visit the website or contact us. The purpose of this document is to provide clear and transparent information about data handling practices in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Zodiacal provides informational content related to horoscope 2026, tarot 2026, and the personal horoscope concept. Most sections of the website can be accessed without providing personal information. Personal data is collected only when necessary to operate the website, respond to enquiries, maintain security, or meet legal obligations.

2. Personal Data We Collect

When you interact with the website, limited personal data may be collected depending on the nature of your interaction. If you contact us, we may receive your name, email address, and the information contained in your message. When you browse the website, technical information may be automatically collected, including IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, pages visited, time of access, and general location at a regional level. Usage data may also be collected to understand how visitors navigate the website. Where cookies or similar technologies are used, technical identifiers may be stored to support website functionality and performance. Visitors should avoid submitting sensitive personal information, financial details, identification documents, or medical information, as such data is not required for general enquiries.

3. How Data Is Collected

Personal data is collected through direct and automatic methods that are standard for website operation. Information is provided directly when a user submits a contact form or sends an email. Technical and usage data is collected automatically through server logs when the website is accessed. Cookies or similar technologies may be used to support essential functionality, improve performance, and maintain security. All data collection is limited to what is necessary for legitimate operational purposes.

4. Purpose of Processing and Legal Basis

Personal data is processed only for specific and legitimate purposes. These purposes include responding to enquiries, providing requested information, maintaining and operating the website, monitoring performance, improving usability, protecting the website against misuse or unauthorised access, and managing consent preferences where required. The legal basis for processing may include legitimate interests in operating and improving the website, user consent where required for non-essential technologies, and compliance with applicable legal obligations. Zodiacal does not use personal data for automated decision-making, profiling, or any processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

5. Data Sharing

Zodiacal does not sell, rent, or trade personal data. Personal information may be shared only when necessary to support website operation or where disclosure is required by law. Data may be processed by technical service providers that support hosting, email communication, system security, or maintenance. These providers are required to process data only for authorised purposes and to apply appropriate confidentiality and security measures. Personal data may also be disclosed where necessary to comply with legal requirements or to protect the rights, safety, or integrity of the website and its users.

6. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process data outside the United Kingdom. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards are implemented to ensure that personal data receives a level of protection consistent with UK data protection standards. These safeguards may include contractual protections, technical security measures, and risk-based assessments of the processing environment.

7. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Contact enquiries may be stored for a reasonable period to allow for communication and record-keeping. Technical and security logs may be retained for a limited period to support system monitoring, performance analysis, and protection against misuse. Data is reviewed periodically and securely deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required for operational or legal purposes.

8. Data Security

Zodiacal implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or misuse. These measures may include secure hosting environments, restricted access controls, encrypted connections where applicable, and system monitoring designed to detect suspicious activity. While reasonable efforts are made to protect information, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security, and users should take appropriate care when sharing information online.

9. User Rights

Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, users may have the right to request access to their personal data, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion of data where applicable, request restriction of processing, object to processing based on legitimate interests, request a copy of data in a structured format where relevant, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. Requests may be submitted using the contact details provided above. Identity verification may be required before certain requests can be processed.

10. Children’s Data

The website is intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically at children. Zodiacal does not knowingly collect personal data from children. If it is believed that personal data relating to a child has been submitted, please contact us so that the information can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
