Collection of Personal Data

We collect data from you in the following ways:

Data Collected via Social Sign-In (OAuth)

When you choose to register or log in to our website using a social sign-in service (such as Google, Facebook, or other OAuth providers), you are authorizing the third-party provider to share certain profile information with us.

Type of Data Collected: We specifically collect your Email Address and basic Profile Information (such as your Name and User ID) required to create and manage your user account on our site.
Purpose: This data is collected solely for the purpose of User Registration, Authentication, and managing your access to features on astrocharts.vedic-ai.com.
Controlling Your Data: The specific information shared is managed by your privacy settings on the third-party social platform. We encourage you to review and adjust your privacy settings on those platforms before connecting your account.

Data Collected via User Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded content from other websites

Suggested text: Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

4. Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

6. Who We Share Your Data With

We only share your data in limited circumstances:

Spam Detection: Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
Password Resets: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
OAuth Providers: When you use social sign-in, the provider receives confirmation of your login request, which is required for the service to function. We do not share any information you subsequently generate on our site back to the social provider.

7. How Long We Retain Your Data

Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
User Accounts: For users that register on our website, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile indefinitely until the user requests deletion.

8. What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you have the following rights:

Right to Access: You can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us.
Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Management: All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Legal Disclaimer: This is a comprehensive policy draft based on the information you provided and common WordPress/OAuth practices. A Privacy Policy is a legal document. You should always have this document reviewed by a legal professional to ensure it fully complies with all applicable laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, DPDP Act, etc.) based on your specific location and the location of your users.
