Privacy policy

This explains what personal data Niyati collects, why, who it is shared with, and your rights. Niyati is run by Karan Gala, who is responsible for your data.

What we collect

• What you enter in the form: your name, gender, date, time and place of birth, relationship status, optional partner details, an optional question, and your phone number or email.
• The chart calculated from your birth details, and the report written for you.
• Payment records: amount, status and Razorpay's payment reference. Never your card or UPI details.
• How you reached us: the advert or link you came from, and basic page-visit information.

Why we use it

• To calculate your chart and write and show your report.
• To take and confirm payment.
• To contact you about your reading if needed, and to answer your messages.
• To understand which adverts bring visitors who find the service useful.

By submitting the form you consent to this use. We do not sell your data.

Who we share it with

Only the services we need to run the site, each for its own part:

• Supabase stores the form details, chart, report and payment records.
• AstrologyAPI receives your birth date, time and place to calculate your chart.
• Anthropic (the AI provider) receives your first name, gender, age, relationship status, chart and question to write your report. Not your phone number or email.
• Razorpay processes your payment and receives the details you enter in its payment window.
• Meta (Facebook and Instagram) receives, through its pixel, the fact that you visited, filled in the form or paid, so we can measure our adverts. Not your birth details, question or report.
• Vercel hosts the website.

Some of these services store or process data on servers outside India. We may also disclose data where the law requires it.

How long we keep it

We keep your reading for as long as you may want to come back to it, and payment records for as long as tax and accounting rules require. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see below).

Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, correct it, or have it erased, and you can withdraw your consent. Email support@askniyati.com with the link to your reading. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to our grievance officer (see Contact) and then to the Data Protection Board of India.

Cookies and similar tools

The site uses the Meta pixel, which may set cookies to measure adverts, and stores a small note in your browser of the link you arrived from, for the length of your visit.

Age

The service is only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect data about children.

Security

Your data is stored with access limited to our server, and sent over encrypted connections. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable care to protect it.

Changes

We may update this policy; the date at the top shows the latest version.
