Privacy policy
We never see your chart.
Last updated 28 September 2026
Astral Journey does not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal data.
- Birth details, charts and your journal are stored on your device, in a file that is encrypted whenever the device is locked. There is no account, and we run no server: your chart never reaches us.
- Apple Health. If you connect it, the app reads and writes State of Mind (mood) entries for your own profile only. Health data stays in Apple Health: it is never sent to us or used for advertising, and you can revoke access at any time in the Health app.
- Place search uses Apple Maps when you're online. Apple receives only the text you type into the search field, under Apple's privacy policy. Offline, the app searches a list bundled with it.
- Your location, if you allow it, times sunrise, Rahu Kaal and the planetary hours for where you are. The app asks for an approximate location, matches it to a town in its bundled list, and keeps it on your device. You can choose a place by hand instead, or turn location off in Settings.
- Ask the sky runs on Apple Intelligence on your device. Your questions are not sent anywhere.
- Siri and Shortcuts answers are calculated on your device. A shortcut sends them to another app only if you build it to.
- Sharing a prompt with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity or anyone else happens only when you choose to, through the system share sheet or the clipboard.
- Backups. If iCloud Backup is on, your device's backup, including this app's data, is stored by Apple under your Apple Account, as for every app.
- No analytics, advertising or tracking. The app contains no analytics, advertising or tracking SDKs; its one library, Nirayana, computes planetary positions and is open source.
Deleting a person removes their chart and journal. Deleting the app removes everything. You can export all your data from Settings at any time.
