Privacy Policy

This page explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and your choices. It covers the website and the rising sign calculator hosted at What Is My Rising Sign.

What we collect

  1. Calculator inputs
    Birth date, birth time, and birth place when you use the tool. The calculator runs in your browser. If a request is sent to our server to fetch time data or ephemeris tables, it uses only the minimum details needed to compute the Ascendant.
  2. Technical logs
    IP address, user agent, referrer, pages viewed, and basic error logs. We use this to keep the site reliable, secure, and fast.
  3. Analytics
    Aggregated events like page views and button clicks. We use this to improve content and speed. We do not build user profiles.
  4. Contact messages
    Your name, email, and the content of your message when you reach out through the form.
