Privacy PolicyYour Data, Your Control
Effective: December 1, 2023 · Last updated: September 16, 2026
Welcome to The Astro Scope ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy clearly discloses the categories of personal data we collect, how we use it, who receives it, how long we retain it, and your control options. It applies to our website, our APIs, and use of The Astro Scope through OpenAI ChatGPT (including MCP tools and interactive widgets). Please read this policy together with our Terms of Service. For questions: support@pyxl.ai.
Information Collection
Data categories we collect:
- 1Account data: Name, email address, when you register or sign in via Google or email/password.
- 2Birth chart data (when you use our tools): Name, birth date, birth time, birth location (city/country). Used only to generate your natal chart and share link.
- 3ChatGPT/GPT integration: When you use our apps in ChatGPT, we receive: (a) birth data (name, date, time, location, optional latitude/longitude) for charts; (b) horoscope queries (zodiac sign, period, topic where applicable, optionally birth year for Chinese zodiac); (c) for our Tarot MCP tools (card of the day, three-card, Yes / No and love spreads), optional free-text questions, draw/step flags, and parameters needed to return cards and links to the corresponding reading on our site — not used to build a marketing profile; (d) for our Destiny Matrix and Birth Arcana MCP tools, one or two birth dates and optional names, used only to calculate the result; (e) the language and time zone that ChatGPT reports, used to answer in your language and to pick the right day for horoscopes and the card of the day; (f) an anonymous user identifier that ChatGPT sends with each request. We keep only a one-way hash of it: it gives each user the same tarot card of the day and lets our usage statistics count repeat use of our ChatGPT apps. The identifier is never returned in tool responses. Tarot, Destiny Matrix and Birth Arcana MCP handlers do not persist readings or birth dates in our database; optional full interpretation on the website is covered under the same categories when you open a saved reading link there. To find a birth place's coordinates and time zone, we send the place name to geocoding services (Open-Meteo and OpenStreetMap Nominatim). Links from our ChatGPT apps pass through a redirect on our site that records the click: which link was opened, IP address, browser and referring page. We use all of the above only to deliver the requested content and to improve our ChatGPT apps. Tool responses may include: natal chart positions and coordinates, a publicly accessible share link and URL to view or analyze the chart on our site, horoscope text and related fields, tarot card data, Destiny Matrix and Birth Arcana results, and site URLs for full interactive readings.
- 4Usage data: How you interact with our services (e.g., horoscopes viewed, psychological tests taken).
- 5Cookies & similar tech: To enhance experience and improve our service, including where you manage preferences through our cookie consent banner.
- 6Analytics: We measure visits and how the service is used with PostHog (hosted in the EU) and Google Analytics. Before you choose, and if you decline, this runs without cookies or local storage: PostHog counts visits with an anonymous identifier it computes on its own servers from a value that changes every day, and Google Analytics receives visits without an identifier. If you allow analytics on our cookie banner, analytics cookies recognise your browser between visits, and PostHog records sessions — clicks, scrolling and page changes, with form fields masked — so we can see which tools need improvement.

Information Sharing

- 1OpenAI/ChatGPT: When you use our app in ChatGPT, your birth data and requests are processed by our servers.

Data Retention

Data Security
We employ measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, and misuse. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice as appropriate (for example, via the site or email). Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy, except where prohibited by law.
