Privacy & Data Protection Framework

1. Overview of Data Processing Principles

This privacy framework outlines how Celestial Patterns Analysis collects, processes, and protects personal data when you engage with our analytical content. Our operations comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable data protection laws. This website provides exclusively informational and analytical content related to astrological systems, lunar cycles, and symbolic archetypes—not predictive or fortune-telling services.

Personal data refers to any information that can identify a natural person, including names, email addresses, or technical data when it enables direct attribution. You may generally browse our content without actively providing personal data. However, certain interactive features—such as contact forms or symbolic profile requests—require specific information to process your analytical inquiries.

2. Responsible Entity & Scope of Application

The data controller is Celestial Patterns Analysis, operating under the contact details provided below. This privacy framework applies to all pages under the Celestial Patterns Analysis domain that present analytical content on Chinese zodiac archetypes, lunar calendar systems, and symbolic pattern analysis.

The scope covers both passive browsing and active engagement through input forms. While we align with European Union standards for data protection, users accessing from other regions should note that local regulations may impose additional requirements. Our commitment remains to transparent, ethical data handling regardless of jurisdiction.

3. Categories of Data Collected

When you visit our website, technical access data is automatically processed. This includes your device's IP address, date and time of access, pages viewed, browser type, operating system, and data volumes transmitted. These logs support website functionality, security monitoring, and analytical optimization.

Additional personal data may be processed when you use interactive features. For example, submitting a contact form or requesting a symbolic analysis framework requires providing your name, email address, and relevant context about your analytical interests. Such data is processed solely to respond to your inquiry or prepare the requested analytical materials.

4. Purposes & Legal Bases for Processing

Technical data processing ensures stable website operation under GDPR Article 6(1)(f), as we have a legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, functional platform for analytical content delivery.

When you voluntarily submit personal data via forms, processing occurs under GDPR Article 6(1)(b) if related to fulfilling your request, or Article 6(1)(f) where we have a legitimate interest in responding to inquiries. Where explicit consent is obtained (e.g., for newsletters), processing follows Article 6(1)(a). You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.

5. Analytical & Functional Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enable core functionality and enhance user experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help remember preferences or support navigation. We distinguish between:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic site operations (processed under legitimate interest)
• Analytical cookies: Help us understand usage patterns to improve content (require prior consent)
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings for future visits (require prior consent)

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may limit certain website functions.

6. Data Retention & Disposal Protocols

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the stated purposes or as required by legal obligations. Technical logs are anonymized or deleted after reasonable periods. Inquiry-related data is retained until your request is fully addressed or no longer relevant.

Once the processing purpose expires and no legal retention requirements apply, data is securely deleted. In some cases, anonymization may occur for statistical analysis where personal identification is unnecessary.

7. Your Data Protection Rights

Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to:

• Request access to your personal data we hold
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion where legal grounds exist
• Restrict processing under certain conditions
• Data portability for data you provided
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent at any time (for consent-based processing)

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below. We respond to all legitimate requests within one month, though complex cases may require additional time.

8. Security Measures & Protections

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. These include access controls, security configurations, and encrypted transmission protocols where applicable. Our security framework is regularly reviewed and updated to align with technological advancements.

While we employ robust security practices, no internet transmission is entirely risk-free. For highly sensitive communications, consider using alternative secure channels or omitting unnecessary personal details.

9. Updates to This Framework

This privacy framework may be updated to reflect changes in our services, technical requirements, or legal obligations. The current published version always applies. We encourage periodic review of this document to stay informed about our data practices.
