This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use birthbrief.com, why we collect it, and your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, EU 2016/679).
When you purchase or generate a natal chart report, we collect:
We also log a one-way hash of your IP address for rate-limiting and fraud prevention. The hash cannot be reversed to identify you.
Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)): All data above is processed to perform the contract — i.e. to generate and deliver the natal chart report you purchased or requested. We do not use this data for advertising or sell it to third parties.
To deliver the service we share your data with the following processors, each bound by data processing agreements:
All processors are based in the United States. Data transfers are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) where applicable.
BirthBrief uses a cookie consent banner (cc.js, self-hosted — no external scripts). On your first visit, you can choose to accept or reject analytics and marketing cookies. Your choice is stored in a cookie called bb_cc.
We set one functional cookie (bb_gate_passed) that does not require consent — it records that you completed the free reading email gate. We also use browser localStorage for the gate status (bb_teaser_gate) and, if you accept analytics, an anonymous GA4 client ID (bb_ga4_cid).
Analytics (optional, consent required): If you accept analytics, we send page view events to Google Analytics 4 via a server-side proxy on our own domain. No Google cookies are set in your browser. The proxy forwards only anonymous usage data to Google's Measurement Protocol.
Marketing (optional, consent required): If you accept marketing cookies, the Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram) loads and tracks page views for ad measurement. You can withdraw consent at any time via the cookie preferences link in our footer.
Our fonts are self-hosted — no requests are made to Google Fonts or any font CDN. See our Cookie Policy for a complete table of all cookies.
Your report and birth data are retained for 12 months from the date of generation, then automatically deleted from our database. Payment records (held by Stripe) are retained in accordance with Stripe's policies and applicable accounting law.
Under GDPR you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
