Plain-English summary: AstroPath collects your birth data (name, date, optional time and city) to generate your natal chart. We use Firebase for crash reporting, analytics and push notifications. We store your data securely and never sell it to advertisers or data brokers. In-app purchases are handled entirely by Apple or Google — we never see your payment card details.
AstroPath is developed and operated by Absolute Solutions, a software company registered in Tanzania. We are the data controller for personal data collected through the AstroPath mobile application and this website (astropath.absolutesolutions.co.tz).
When this policy says "AstroPath", "we", "our" or "us", it refers to Absolute Solutions and the AstroPath service.
When you create an AstroPath account you provide:
To generate your natal chart, AstroPath collects the following for each birth profile you create (yours or others you save):
If you use AstroPath without creating an account (guest mode), a temporary profile is created and associated with a random identifier on our servers. If you later register an account, your guest profile is automatically linked to your account. Guest profiles are deleted when you uninstall the app or if they remain unclaimed for more than 90 days.
We use Firebase Analytics (Google) to understand how the app is used. Analytics data includes:
Analytics data is aggregated and pseudonymised. We cannot identify you individually from analytics events.
We use Firebase Crashlytics (Google) to detect and diagnose app crashes. Crashlytics collects:
Crash data is used solely to identify and fix bugs. It is not linked to your email address or birth data.
If you grant notification permission, we store your FCM device token (a unique identifier for your device generated by Firebase Cloud Messaging) so we can deliver daily horoscope push notifications. A token is linked to your user account while you are logged in and is deleted from our servers when you sign out or revoke notification permission.
Premium subscriptions are processed entirely by Apple (App Store) and Google (Google Play). We receive only a subscription receipt or purchase token — a cryptographic string used to verify your subscription status. We never receive, store or process your payment card details, billing address or any other financial information.
