The Cosmic Brief is operated by Soulful Existence, LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using The Cosmic Brief, you agree to the practices described here.
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and password (stored securely via Supabase authentication).
Birth Data
To generate your personalized astrological readings, we collect your name, birth date, birth time, and birth location (city, latitude, longitude, and timezone). This information is stored in your profile and used solely to calculate your natal chart and personalized transits.
Calendar Data
If you choose to connect your Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, we access your calendar events for the purpose of providing personalized astrological context alongside your schedule. We request read-only access. We do not store your calendar events permanently — they are fetched in real time and used only to generate your daily reading. We do not share your calendar data with any third party other than Anthropic (our AI provider) for the purpose of generating your reading.
Payment Information
When you subscribe, payment is processed by a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe). We do not store your credit card number or full payment details. We retain only the information necessary to manage your subscription status.
Usage Data
We may collect basic technical information such as your device type and browser to maintain and improve the app. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
We use the information we collect to:
We do not use your information for advertising, and we do not sell your data to any third party under any circumstances.
The Cosmic Brief relies on third-party services to operate, including providers for database storage and authentication, AI content generation, astrological data, calendar integration, payment processing, app hosting, and API routing.
We share only the minimum data necessary with each provider for the sole purpose of operating the app. We do not permit any third party to use your data for their own marketing or advertising purposes.
All third-party providers are contractually obligated to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
The Cosmic Brief's use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. The same principles apply to Apple Calendar data.
Specifically:
Your account data (birth information, preferences, and connection tokens) is retained as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us at the address below.
Calendar access tokens are stored in your profile to maintain your connection between sessions. You can disconnect Google Calendar or Apple Calendar at any time from within the app, which will delete your stored tokens immediately.
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure authentication via Supabase, and server-side proxying of sensitive API keys. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
The Cosmic Brief is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
The Cosmic Brief is intended for entertainment and self-reflection purposes only. Astrological readings generated by this app are not a substitute for professional advice of any kind, including medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice.
