Privacy Policy

Welcome to StarSutra Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 31, 2026

StarSutra.in ("StarSutra," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website https://starsutra.in and our AI-powered astrological prediction platform (collectively, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share your information when you use our Service.

By accessing or using StarSutra, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Service.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide personalized astrological insights and improve our Service.

1. Account Information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google.
2. Birth and Astrological Data: To generate birth charts and predictions, we collect date of birth, birth time, birth place, and coordinates. This data is essential for astrological calculations.
3. Profile Information: You may provide additional details such as phone number, bio, avatar, preferred language, and theme preferences.
4. Conversation and Usage Data: We store your chat messages, AI responses, conversation history, predictions, monthly analyses, and interaction patterns to provide continuity and personalized guidance.
5. Technical Data: We collect usage metrics (e.g., token usage, session duration), IP address, browser type, and device information for security and service improvement.

2. How We Use Google User Data

StarSutra uses Google APIs and must comply with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

1. Google Sign-In: We use Google OAuth to let you sign in with your Google account. We receive and store your name, email address, and profile picture solely to create and manage your StarSutra account and to identify you across sessions.
2. Google Calendar: If you connect your Google Calendar, we use the Google Calendar API to add astrological predictions and events to your calendar. We only create events with prediction titles, dates, and descriptions. We do not read, modify, or delete other calendar events. Calendar access is optional and used only when you explicitly choose to add a prediction to your calendar.
3. Limited Use: We use Google user data only to provide the features described above. We do not use Google data for advertising, sell it to third parties, or use it for purposes unrelated to your use of StarSutra.

3. How We Collect Information

1. Directly from you: When you register, create a profile, enter birth data, chat with our AI, or use features like Birth Time Rectification or Monthly Analysis.
2. Through Google: When you sign in with Google or connect Google Calendar, we receive data as permitted by your consent.
3. Automatically: Through cookies, session storage, and similar technologies when you use our Service.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

1. Session Cookies: We use NextAuth session cookies to keep you logged in. These are essential for authentication and security.
2. Local Storage: We may use browser local storage (e.g., to remember ad-related preferences) to support Service functionality.
3. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features.

5. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services that may collect or process data:

1. Google: Authentication (OAuth) and Calendar API, as described in Section 2.
2. AI Providers: We use Google Gemini and xAI (Grok) to power our AI responses. Your messages and context are sent to these providers to generate responses. Please review their privacy policies: Google Privacy Policy, xAI Privacy Policy.
3. LangSmith: We may use LangSmith for AI tracing and debugging. Traces may include anonymized or pseudonymized interaction data.
4. Email (Zoho): We use Zoho Mail to send transactional emails (e.g., account notifications) from [email protected].
5. Advertising: Our Service may display ads from third-party ad networks. These networks may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver and measure ads. Their practices are governed by their own privacy policies.
6. Content Moderation: All chat messages are screened by a third-party AI-powered content moderation service before being processed. Message text is sent to this service solely for safety classification purposes.
7. Database: We store your data in MongoDB. Data is stored securely and accessed only to operate our Service.

4. To communicate with you (e.g., support, account notifications).
5. To improve our AI, algorithms, and Service quality (including anonymized/aggregated analysis).
6. To enforce our Terms and Conditions and protect against fraud or abuse.

7. Data Retention

1. We retain your account, profile, conversation history, and predictions for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service.
2. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us at [email protected] or through your account settings.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), secure authentication, and access controls. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure; we strive to protect your information but cannot guarantee absolute security.
