Privacy Policy

Editable placeholder: this policy is a solid, plain-language starting draft written for a small personal site. Before your site goes live and especially before applying to any affiliate program, replace the bracketed placeholders below with your real contact details, and consider having a lawyer or a service like Termly / iubenda review it if the site will collect any personal data beyond basic analytics.

Who this policy covers

This Privacy Policy explains how The Nightly Oracle (“this site,” “we,” “us”) handles information when you visit. This site is an independent, personal project and is not affiliated with any tarot publisher, astrology organization, or the brands whose products may be linked in the shop.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

If you use the birth-chart compatibility tool on the home page, the birth data you enter (dates, and any time/location if provided) is used only to calculate that reading in your browser. It is not stored on a server, sold, or shared with any third party by this site.

If you use the contact form, we collect whatever you submit (name, email, and message) solely to respond to your message.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this site's hosting provider and any analytics tool in use may automatically log standard technical information such as your browser type, approximate location (city/region level, derived from IP address), pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is used only in aggregate to understand how the site is used.

Cookies

This site may use cookies for basic functionality and, if analytics are enabled, to understand site traffic in aggregate. It does not use cookies to build individual advertising profiles. [If you add Google Analytics, Fathom, Plausible, or a similar tool, name it here and link to its own privacy policy.]

Affiliate links and third parties

Some links on this site, particularly in the shop and within the guides, are affiliate links. If you click one and make a qualifying purchase, this site may earn a commission from the retailer or affiliate network (for example, Amazon Associates) at no additional cost to you. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies governing any data they collect once you leave this site, and we encourage you to review them.

How we use information

Any information collected is used only to operate and improve this site, respond to inquiries submitted through the contact form, and understand aggregate site usage. We do not sell personal information.

Your choices

You can use most of this site, including the tarot table, astrology page, and Today's Sky feature, without providing any personal information at all. You can decline cookies through your browser settings, and you can request that any information you've submitted via the contact form be deleted by reaching out through the contact page.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision.
