Privacy Policy
Effective 24 July 2026 · Version 2.2
Your birth data is sensitive. We treat it that way.
The data controller is Ying Yuet Fat, an individual based in Hong Kong. Postal address: 5A, Cha Kwo Ling Building, 135 Cha Kwo Ling Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Privacy contact: ananke@anankeastro.com.
Anankeastro is directed at users in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is not offered or directed to individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), and we have not appointed a representative under Article 27 of the EU GDPR. If you are in the EEA, please do not use the Service to submit personal data.
- Birth details — date, time (if known) and place — to compute your reading.
- Account — your email address, for passwordless sign-in and to deliver your reading.
- Payments — handled by Google Play; we receive order and entitlement confirmation, never your card number.
- Third-party subjects — a calculation-only synastry result is returned without saving the report or the other person's details. If you save or unlock an interpretation, we store under your account only an alias and their birth date, time and place: no name, contact or photo.
- Technical — minimal logs needed to run the service securely, and a device token if you opt in to weekly notifications.
- To provide your reading and account — performance of our contract with you.
- Tax and record-keeping — compliance with our legal obligations.
- Security and minimal third-party data — our legitimate interests, balanced against your rights.
- Sensitive data — where a same-sex synastry could imply information about sexual orientation, we rely on your explicit consent, which you may withdraw at any time. For UK users these bases correspond to Articles 6 and 9 of the UK GDPR.
We do not sell your personal data. We use a small set of processors:
- Google Play — processes payments and applicable taxes.
- Brevo (EU) — to send sign-in and reading-delivery emails.
- Our hosting provider — to run the service (see data location below).
- An AI narrative provider — used only where a report explicitly includes AI phrasing; it receives de-identified structure (no name, email or identifying data). Weekly, monthly and synastry interpretations are deterministic and do not use this provider. We disable model training where available; the provider is transitional and not contractually zero-retention.
The service is hosted in Japan. Some processors operate outside your country (for example Google and Brevo); where they do, they rely on their own approved safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent frameworks. We keep transfers to the minimum needed to run the Service.
- Account, birth data and saved reports — for the life of your account. Stateless synastry calculation inputs and results are not added to your account.
- Transaction and tax records — retained as required by law (kept after erasure with personal identifiers removed).
- Consent records — for the processing period plus the applicable limitation period.
- Sign-in tokens (~15 minutes) and sessions (~30 days) — then deleted.
- AI narrative input and output — not persisted by us.
You can access, correct, export, delete or restrict your data, object to processing, and withdraw consent — directly from your account or by emailing ananke@anankeastro.com. UK usershold these rights under the UK GDPR and may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). US users, including California residents, may request access to or deletion of their personal information, which we never sell.
We serve the site over HTTPS and store only what we need. We use strictly necessary storage in your browser (local storage), not tracking cookies; we do not use advertising or analytics trackers.
The Service is for adults. It is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
We post material changes here with a new effective date. Questions: ananke@anankeastro.com.
