KVKK Information Notice
Effective 9 September 2026
This notice is given under Article 10 of Türkiye's Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK) to readers in Türkiye. It complements the Privacy Policy, which describes the same processing in full.
Data controller
The data controller is Astperia. You can reach us at privacy@astperia.com.
Personal data processed
Identity and contact data (your name and e-mail address), birth data (date, time and place of birth, and the coordinates and time zone derived from it), the chart and readings computed from it, billing identifiers, and usage counts.
Purposes and legal grounds
Your data is processed to create your account, compute your birth chart and readings, apply your plan, keep the service secure and meet legal obligations.
The legal grounds are that processing is necessary for the establishment and performance of the contract with you (KVKK Art. 5/2-c), for compliance with legal obligations (Art. 5/2-ç), and for our legitimate interests that do not override your fundamental rights (Art. 5/2-f). Transfers abroad rely on your explicit consent (Art. 9).
Transfers, including abroad
Your data is transferred, only as far as needed for the purposes above, to the service providers that run Astperia. They are located outside Türkiye, in the United States and the European Union:
- Convex — the database holding your chart, activations, interpretations and subscription record.
- Clerk — authentication, holding your email and sign-in credentials.
- Stripe — payments and subscription management. Stripe holds your card details; we do not.
- Our own astrology service — receives birth data to calculate a chart, and stores none of it.
- Google Gemini — receives chart-derived astrological facts to write interpretation text. It does not receive your name, birth time, birth place or coordinates.
- Vercel — hosting, and cookieless analytics that counts page views without profiling visitors.
- Sentry — error reporting. It is configured not to collect request bodies, cookies or user identifiers, so birth data does not reach it.
How data is collected
Electronically, through the forms you fill in on the website (sign-up and onboarding) and, if you choose it, through your Google account when you sign in with Google.
Your rights (KVKK Art. 11)
You have the right to:
- learn whether your personal data is processed and request information about it;
- learn the purpose of processing and whether it is used for that purpose;
- know the third parties, in Türkiye or abroad, to whom it is transferred;
- request correction of incomplete or inaccurate data, and deletion or destruction of your data;
- request that corrections and deletions be notified to the third parties it was transferred to;
- object to an outcome against you that arises solely from automated analysis;
- claim compensation for damage arising from unlawful processing.
How to apply
Write to privacy@astperia.com. We answer free of charge within 30 days at the latest. You can delete your account, and with it your data, at any time from Settings, which also withdraws your explicit consent.
