Privacy Policy
Effective 6 October 2026
Who we are: TryZodiac (the Zodiac app) is operated by Tanțău Ștefan-Nicolas, Strada Nicolae Iorga 31, Bucharest, Romania ("we", "us"). We are the controller of your personal data. Contact: contact@tryzodiac.app · delete your account: tryzodiac.app/delete
1. What TryZodiac is
TryZodiac introduces you to one new person a day, based on your birth chart and rough location, so you can make new friends. It is not a dating service. You must be 18 or older to use it.
2. What we collect and why
| Data | Why we use it | Legal basis (GDPR) | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account: your Apple or Google account ID and email | Sign you in, contact you about your account | Contract | Until you delete your account |
| Birth details: date, time (optional) and place of birth | Build your birth chart; check you are 18+ | Contract | Until you delete your account |
| Profile: first name, photos, short bio, interests (and what kind, for example which music), what you're here for, your "who I meet" settings | Show your profile to people you're introduced to or connected with | Contract | Until you delete your account |
| Approximate location: an area of about 1 km, never your exact position | Introduce you to people nearby; show Cosmic Wall posts from your area | Contract | Until you delete your account; refreshed at most once a day |
| Messages | Let you chat with people you're introduced to or connected with | Contract | An introduction's chat lasts 24 hours, or stays while you're both connected if you both chose to stay in touch. After a chat closes, a copy is kept for 30 days so we can investigate reports, then deleted |
| Cosmic Wall posts and replies | Show short posts to people nearby | Contract | 24 hours, or until you delete them |
| Friend code and friend requests | Let people you know add you | Contract | Until you reset the code, the request is answered, or you delete your account |
| Birthdays you enter for someone else (for compatibility) | Calculate that one compatibility result | Contract | Not stored: the chart is calculated on your phone and only used for that result |
| Reports, blocks and moderation records | Keep people safe; act on reports | Legitimate interest (safety) and legal obligation | Reports and evidence: 12 months after they're resolved. Blocks: until either account is deleted. If we ban an account, a one-way fingerprint of the sign-in ID and email is kept so the person can't sign up again |
| Purchases: subscription status and history (no card details: Apple and Google handle payment) | Give you Solar or Cosmic benefits | Contract | Until you delete your account, then as required by tax law |
| Device data: push notification token, platform, app version | Send the notifications you've turned on | Contract | Removed after 90 days of inactivity or when you sign out |
| Crash and usage analytics | Fix crashes; understand which features work | Legitimate interest (crashes); consent (analytics, where required) | Google's default retention for Crashlytics and Analytics |
| Ads (free plan only): ad requests and interactions, including rewarded ads you choose to watch | Show ads on the free plan; grant the reward you asked for | Consent where required (you choose in the consent form and in Settings → Ad choices) | Per Google AdMob's policies |
We do not sell your data, and we don't use it to track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Your chart and AI readings. Readings and horoscopes are written by Google's Gemini models on Google Cloud (Vertex AI) in the European Union. We send only chart details and interests, never your name, photos, messages or location. Under Google's terms this data isn't used to train its models.
Photos. Before a photo is published we remove its metadata (including any GPS information) and check it with Google Cloud Vision for nudity or violence.
Messages are not end-to-end encrypted. They're encrypted in transit and at rest, and our moderators can read the messages attached to a report.
3. Who we share data with
We use these service providers ("processors"), bound by data-processing agreements:
- Google (Firebase and Google Cloud): accounts, database, file storage, notifications, Crashlytics, Analytics, Vertex AI (readings), Cloud Vision (photo checks), AdMob (ads on the free plan). Our data is stored in the European Union.
- Supabase: stores approximate locations to find people nearby (Frankfurt, Germany).
- RevenueCat: manages subscription status.
- Apple and Google: sign-in, payments and push notifications.
Other people on TryZodiac see your first name, photos, bio, interests, Sun, Moon and Rising signs, the town you picked, a rough distance (like "under 5 km") and your shared reading, only when you're introduced or connected. Cosmic Wall posts are visible to people nearby. Nobody sees your birth date, birth time, exact location or email.
We may disclose data if the law requires it, or to protect someone's safety.
4. International transfers
Our main data stores are in the EU. Some providers may process data outside the EU/EEA (for example in the United States). Where that happens, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.
5. Your rights
You can, at any time:
- Access or download your data: Profile → Settings → Your data → Request a copy.
- Correct it: edit your profile. To change your date of birth, write to us.
- Delete your account and data: Profile → Settings → Your data → Delete my account, or tryzodiac.app/delete.
- Object to or restrict some processing, and withdraw consent for ads in Settings → Ad choices.
- Complain to a data protection authority: in Romania, ANSPDCP (dataprotection.ro), or the authority where you live.
We answer requests within one month.
6. Deleting your account
Deleting your account removes your profile, photos, chart, location, messages, introductions, friends, wall posts, friend code, devices and subscription record from our systems and our providers within 30 days. We keep only:
- report records and evidence connected to safety investigations (up to 12 months),
- the ban fingerprint described above, if your account was banned,
- records we must keep by law (for example purchase records for tax).
Deleting the app does not delete your account. Cancel subscriptions in your Google Play or App Store settings: deleting your account doesn't cancel them.
7. Children
TryZodiac is only for people aged 18 and over. We check your age from your date of birth. If we learn that someone under 18 is using TryZodiac, we delete the account.
8. Security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited to the people who need it, and every request to our servers is checked against your sign-in.
9. Changes
If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we'll tell you in the app before the change takes effect.
