Privacy policy

The Natal Scribe operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products, and digital services, in order to provide you, the customer, with a curated experience (the "Services"). The Natal Scribe is powered by Shopify, which enables us to provide the Services to you. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose your personal information when you visit, use, or make a purchase or other transaction using the Services or otherwise communicate with us.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described herein.

1. Personal Information We Collect or Process
When we use the term "personal information," we are referring to information that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you. We may collect or process the following categories of personal information depending on how you interact with the Services:

  • Astrological & Birth Data: For the specific purpose of providing our forensic astrological Services, we collect your birth date, exact birth time, and birth location. This highly sensitive data is used exclusively to calculate your celestial architecture and generate your personalized Soul Dossier.

  • Contact & Billing Details: Including your name, billing address, and email address. (Note: As our products are entirely digital, we do not collect physical shipping addresses for delivery purposes).

  • Financial Information: Including payment card information and transaction details. This is processed securely by our payment partners (e.g., Stripe, Shopify Payments, PayPal); we do not store your full credit card numbers on our servers.

  • Usage, Device & Cookie Information: Including information about your device, browser, IP address, and how you navigate the Services, collected through Cookies and similar tracking technologies.

2. How We Process Data & Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
To craft our highly personalized Soul Dossiers, your specific astrological and birth data is processed through secure, automated workflows. We utilize advanced, secure third-party Artificial Intelligence APIs (such as generative language models) as drafting assistants to help articulate our astrological findings.
Privacy Guarantee: The birth data transmitted to our AI service providers is strictly used for the single purpose of generating your personal report. We ensure that our API partners do not retain, share, or use your personal astrological data to train their public public models.

3. How We Use Your Personal Information

  • To Provide the Services: To process your payments, securely deliver your digital Soul Dossier to your inbox, and provide customer support.

  • Marketing and Advertising: If you have opted in, we may send you exclusive cosmic dispatches, esoteric insights, and promotional communications via email. You can unsubscribe at any time.

  • Security and Fraud Prevention: To authenticate payments, detect and prevent fraudulent transactions, and secure our website.

4. How We Disclose Personal Information
We only share your personal information for legitimate business purposes:

  • With Service Providers: Such as Shopify (who hosts our store), secure form providers, automated workflow platforms, and AI drafting tools so they can perform services on our behalf.

  • Legal Obligations: If required by law, to comply with a subpoena, or to protect the rights and safety of The Natal Scribe, our users, or others.

  • We DO NOT sell your personal information or your astrological birth data to third-party data brokers.

5. Cookies and Targeted Advertising
We use Cookies to power our website and to understand how you interact with our Services. We may share browsing data with advertising partners to show you relevant ads on other websites. Depending on your location (e.g., California), this may be considered "sharing" or "targeted advertising." You may have the right to opt out of this by using the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser or contacting us directly.

6. Relationship with Shopify
The Services are hosted by Shopify. Information you submit to the Services will be transmitted to and shared with Shopify to process your order and maintain the website infrastructure. Shopify may process this data in accordance with their own stringent security and privacy standards.

7. Children's Data
Our Services are intended for individuals who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately to request deletion.

8. Security and Retention
We implement rigorous security measures to protect your personal information. We retain your birth data only as long as necessary to provide you with the Services, fulfill our legal obligations, and resolve any disputes.

9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you reside (including California under the CCPA, or Europe under the GDPR), you have specific rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to Access / Know: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

  • Right to Delete: You may request that we permanently delete your personal information and birth coordinates from our active archives.

  • Right to Correct: You may request corrections to any inaccurate data.

  • Withdrawal of Consent: You may opt out of marketing emails at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us directly via email. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

10. International Transfers
Your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed outside the country in which you reside, including in the United States (via Shopify servers) and the European Union. We ensure that any such transfers are conducted in compliance with applicable data protection laws.
