1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how AstroScope handles personal data when visitors use the website, read informational pages, or contact the website through available communication channels. AstroScope publishes neutral informational content relating to horoscope 2026, tarot 2026, and personal horoscope topics. This policy is intended to provide clear privacy information about what data may be collected, why it may be used, how it may be stored, and what general safeguards apply. Under the UK GDPR, individuals must be given clear and concise privacy information about the collection and use of their personal data, and privacy notices should explain matters such as purposes, retention, and sharing.

2. Scope of this policy
This policy applies to personal data processed through normal operation of the AstroScope website. It covers data submitted by visitors when sending a message, as well as technical information created when pages are accessed, loaded, or secured. It also applies to limited administrative records created for website management, communication handling, and operational review. The policy is designed to reflect the UK GDPR as read with the Data Protection Act 2018, which remains part of the UK data protection framework.

3. Personal data that may be collected
Depending on how the website is used, AstroScope may process information such as a visitor’s name, email address, phone number, and the contents of a message sent through the website or by email. The website may also process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device-related details, page request data, date and time of access, and server log information. This information is limited to the categories reasonably necessary for operating the website, maintaining security, and handling routine communication. AstroScope does not require account creation in order to read standard website content and does not seek unnecessary personal data from ordinary visitors.

4. How personal data is used
Personal data may be used to provide access to website content, respond to enquiries, maintain technical performance, monitor security, manage website administration, and keep a record of relevant communications where appropriate. If a visitor sends a message, the information provided may be used to review the enquiry, prepare a reply, and maintain a proportionate correspondence record. If technical information is processed, it is used to help ensure website stability, detect faults, and protect the website against misuse or unauthorised access. UK privacy guidance requires organisations to explain the purposes for processing personal data, and AstroScope aims to keep those purposes specific, transparent, and limited.

5. Lawful bases for processing
AstroScope processes personal data only where a lawful basis applies under the UK GDPR. Depending on the circumstances, this may include consent where optional processing is offered, or legitimate interests where processing is reasonably necessary for website operation, security, communication handling, and administration. Where a visitor actively sends a message and expects a reply, processing may also be necessary to take steps requested by that visitor in connection with the communication. The UK GDPR requires at least one lawful basis for processing personal data, and AstroScope seeks to identify the relevant basis before or at the point of collection.

6. Data minimisation and transparency
AstroScope aims to collect only personal data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the stated purpose. This reflects the data minimisation principle under the UK GDPR. The website is also designed to present privacy information in a clear format so that visitors can understand what data may be used and why. Most website content can be read without submitting personal information. Where a contact form or email channel is used, visitors should provide only the information needed for the enquiry itself. The ICO states that data should be limited to what is necessary and that privacy information should be clear and concise.

7. Sharing and limited disclosure
AstroScope does not share personal data in a broad or unrelated manner. Personal data may be disclosed only where reasonably necessary for website hosting, technical support, communication handling, security management, or other limited operational functions connected with the running of the website. Access to such data is expected to remain restricted to what is necessary for the relevant purpose. Data may also be disclosed where required by applicable law or where reasonably necessary to protect the website, its records, or its technical systems. Where privacy information is provided, UK guidance expects organisations to explain who data may be shared with, and this policy is intended to meet that transparency requirement.

8. Retention of personal data
AstroScope keeps personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This may include time needed to respond to an enquiry, maintain appropriate records of website communication, investigate technical issues, or support security review and routine administration. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the operational context in which it was collected. When data is no longer required, it may be deleted, anonymised, or otherwise removed from active use. UK privacy guidance states that retention periods, or the criteria used to determine them, should be explained to individuals.

9. Security measures
AstroScope uses reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, or unlawful disclosure. These measures may include controlled access, secure administration practices, monitoring of website systems, and proportionate technical safeguards suitable for a general informational website. While no method of transmission or storage can be described as entirely free from risk, AstroScope seeks to maintain an appropriate level of integrity and confidentiality in line with UK data protection principles. The ICO’s guidance on data protection principles includes integrity and confidentiality among the core obligations.

10. Individual rights and policy updates
Under UK data protection law, individuals may have rights in relation to their personal data, including rights connected with access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and, where applicable, portability. The availability of a particular right may depend on the circumstances and the lawful basis for processing. Requests relating to personal data may be made using the contact details listed above. AstroScope may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website practices, content structure, or applicable legal requirements. Where changes are made, the updated version will be published with a revised date so that visitors can review the current policy. UK guidance also states that privacy information should be updated where processing changes and people should be informed appropriately.
