Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Under These Stars operates underthesestars.in. This policy explains exactly what personal data we collect, why we need it, and the specific steps we take to protect it. We have written this in plain language — no legal jargon.

A note on birth date, time and location

We understand that date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth are deeply sensitive data in India — used in kundali, matrimony, and astrology. We take this seriously. We use this data solely to compute star positions for your poster. We never share it with anyone. We delete all personal identifiers within 3 days of order fulfilment. Our servers never store your data in plain text — all data at rest is encrypted.

What we collect and why

We collect only what is strictly necessary to generate and deliver your poster:

Email address

To send your download links after payment. Never used for marketing.

Name

Used only to personalise the dedication text on your poster.

City, latitude, longitude

Required to compute exact star positions for your location. Cannot be substituted.

Date and time

Required to compute the sky at your specific moment. Cannot be substituted.

Occasion

Used to generate a personalised poster title via AI. Only the category is sent (e.g. 'Birthday') — not your personal story.

Payment confirmation ID

We never store card, UPI, or bank details. Razorpay handles all payment data. We only receive a reference ID confirming the payment.

How we protect your data

All data stored in our database is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption. Data in transit is protected by TLS 1.3. Our infrastructure (Supabase on AWS) is SOC 2 Type II certified. We do not store your birth data in plain text at any point.

Access to your data is restricted to the automated systems that generate your poster and send your email. No human manually reads your personal data. We do not have a marketing team that can access your records.

Data deletion — 3 day commitment

Within 3 days of your order being fulfilled (poster generated and email sent), we permanently delete all personal identifiers from our database: your name, exact latitude and longitude, birth time, and dedication text. Your poster files in storage are also deleted within 3 days.

After deletion, we retain only what is legally required for accounting purposes: your email address, order ID, amount paid, plan purchased, and payment date. These are kept for 7 years as required by Indian tax law (GST records).

If you want your data deleted before the 3-day window, email us and we will delete it immediately.

Who we share data with

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any third party for their own purposes. We use the following services strictly to operate our product:
