Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data the Cosmic Glow app collects, how it is used, who it is shared with, and how you can delete it.
What we collect
- Account information. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and Google account identifier through Firebase Authentication.
- Birth details. Your date of birth, and optionally your birth time and birth place (including its coordinates and time zone), which you enter to generate your birth chart and readings.
- App activity. Product analytics events such as screens viewed and features used, collected via PostHog. Events are tied to a pseudonymous identifier.
- Purchase state. Whether you hold an active subscription or purchase. Payments are processed entirely by Google Play; we never see your card details.
- Crash data. Crash logs and device diagnostics via Firebase Crashlytics.
- Push token. A Firebase Cloud Messaging token, if notifications are enabled, used only to deliver notifications to your device.
- Advertising measurement. Your device's advertising identifier, general device and network information, and, if you are signed in, your email address, collected through AppsFlyer. This tells us which advertisement, if any, led you to install the app, and whether an install later resulted in a subscription.
How we use it
- Birth details are used to calculate your astrological chart and personalize readings. Chart calculation runs on your device.
- Account information links your profile and purchases across devices.
- Analytics and crash data help us understand usage and fix problems.
- Advertising measurement data is used to attribute installs and purchases to the advertisements we run, and to let those advertising platforms find people similar to our existing users. Your email address is transmitted to AppsFlyer, which converts it to an irreversible cryptographic hash before sharing it with an advertising platform. The platform can only match that hash against its own records; it does not receive your address in a readable form.
- We do not sell your personal data.
Where it is stored and who receives it
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics) stores your account, profile, and diagnostic data. Firebase privacy
- PostHog (US cloud) receives analytics events. PostHog privacy
- Google Play Billing processes purchases. Google privacy
- AppsFlyer receives install, sign-up, and purchase measurement data and forwards it to the advertising platform that delivered the advertisement. AppsFlyer privacy
- Snap Inc. receives that measurement data for advertisements shown on Snapchat. Snap privacy
Data retention and deletion
Your data is kept while your account exists. You can delete your account and its data at any time, directly in the app: open Profile → Delete account. This permanently removes your authentication account and your profile document, including birth details. You can also request deletion by emailing hello@ca-elite.com. See our account and data deletion page for details.
Children
Cosmic Glow is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or erase your personal data. Email hello@ca-elite.com and we will respond within 30 days.
Changes
