Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Cosme (“we”, “us”, or “our”), developed by FeeLogic / Tani Eisenstein, collects, uses, protects, and discloses personal information through the Cosme mobile application (Android & iOS) and the web platform at https://cosme.id.
Cosme is an astrology, natal chart, and celestial almanac platform designed for personal exploration. We respect your privacy: we do not sell user data to data brokers or advertisers, we do not perform tracking across third-party apps, and you retain complete ownership and deletion rights over your personal birth data at all times.
1. Information We Collect
Data you provide directly and technical data required to operate the app
A.Account & Authentication Information
When you register an account on Cosme, we collect your email address, first name, last name, unique username (cosmeName), and an encrypted password hash. This information is used exclusively to authenticate your identity, manage your account, and synchronize your charts across devices.
B. Astrological Birth Data (Sensitive User Input)
To calculate accurate natal radix charts, planetary cycles, house cusps, and synastry overlays, you may enter:
- Date of birth (year, month, day)
- Exact or approximate time of birth (hour, minute)
- Place of birth (city, country, and resolved latitude and longitude coordinates)
This data is strictly utilized by our mathematical ephemeris calculation engines (astronomy-engine and natalengine) to calculate celestial positions and generate visual starmaps.
C.User-Generated Content & Profiles
You may store multiple charts (family, friends, historical figures), add personal notes, tags, create custom synastry comparisons, and submit comments on public Starbase entries.
D.In-App Purchase & Financial Information
Cosme offers optional one-time capacity booster packs (+50, +200, +1000 chart slots). All mobile in-app transactions are processed directly by Google Play In-App Billing (on Android) or Apple In-App Purchase (on iOS). On web, transactions are processed via Stripe. Cosme never accesses, processes, or stores your credit card numbers or banking credentials.
E.Device & Technical Information
When you use our services, we may collect technical data such as your IP address, device type, operating system version, browser type, and anonymous crash logs. This data is used solely for network security, diagnostics, and ensuring platform stability.
