Privacy Policy

Effective date: 25 September 2026

This policy explains what information the Zodiac Match Android app (package com.chelik.client.horoskope) and its website at zodiacmatchs.date (together, the “Service”) collect, why, and what choices you have. The Service is provided by Zodiac Match (“we”, “us”). Contact: [email protected].

1. Summary

You can use the app without an account. Readings are created on your device.
A profile is optional: your name and birth date, used for friends, comments and Ask the stars. You can delete it in the app at any time.
Dating is optional and 18+ only. If you join, other dating members see your photo, first name, age and sign. Messages are text only.
We do not sell your personal information.
The free version shows ads from Google AdMob and its partners. Premium removes them.

2. Information we collect

What	When	Why
Install ID (a random identifier created by the app)	Always	To count one vote per install for reading reactions and daily polls, and to limit abuse.
App language, chosen zodiac sign	Always	To show readings, polls and messages in your language and for your sign.
Reactions (“Did this fit your day?”) and poll votes	When you vote	To show how readers of each sign voted. Stored with the install ID, not with your name.
Profile: display name, birth date, sun sign, friend code	Only if you sign in	To let friends find you, show your match with them, and label your comments.
Google or Facebook account: account id, name, email address, profile photo, birthday (see section 5)	When you sign in	To create and recover your profile on any phone and work out your sign.
A photo you upload for your profile	If you choose one	Shown instead of your account photo. Re-encoded on our server, which removes location and other metadata.
Friend requests (sent, received)	When you use Friends	To let people accept or decline before becoming friends.
Dating profile: a photo you choose, your gender and who you want to see	Only if you join dating (18+)	To show you to other members whose choices match yours. The photo is re-encoded on our server, which removes its location and other metadata.
Likes and passes (swipes), matches	When you swipe	To create a match when two people like each other and to not show you the same person twice.
Messages between matches (text only)	When you chat	To deliver your messages to your match. Photos and files cannot be sent.
Reports about dating members and blocks	When you report	To keep dating safe. A profile reported by several people is hidden.
Friends list, readings you send to friends	When you use Friends	To show your friends and deliver the readings you send.
Comments on the daily question, reports and blocks	When you comment, report or block	To show the discussion and keep it safe.
Questions you ask in “Ask the stars” and the answers	When you ask	To answer you and show your earlier questions. See section 4.
Push notification token (Firebase Cloud Messaging)	Daily reminder; with a profile, friend notifications	To send the daily horoscope reminder and friend notifications.
Premium purchase token (stored only as a one-way hash) and expiry date	If you subscribe	To confirm your subscription with Google Play.
Contact form: name, email address, message, push token	If you send feedback	To reply to you.
IP address	Every request	Only a one-way hash is kept, for at most a few hours, to limit request floods.
Usage and crash data, advertising ID, device and app information	Collected by the SDKs in section 3	Analytics, crash fixing, and ads.

We do not collect your precise location, contacts, or microphone or camera data. We only receive a photo if you choose one for dating; the app uses Android’s photo picker, so it cannot see your other photos.

3. Third-party services

The app uses these services, which process data under their own privacy policies:

Google AdMob and mediation partners AppLovin, Meta Audience Network and AdColony: ads, using your advertising ID and device information. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings (Google → Ads). How Google uses data for ads.
Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics: usage statistics and crash reports.
Firebase Cloud Messaging: push notifications.
Google Play Billing: Premium subscriptions. We never receive your payment details.
Google Play Install Referrer: when you install through a friend’s invite link, to open that invite.

Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Ask the stars (AI answers)

Answers are generated by an AI service. Your question, your sun sign, your display name and your app language are sent to that provider only to produce the answer. Do not include sensitive personal information in your questions. Answers are for reflection and entertainment and are not professional advice.

5. Sign in with Google or Facebook

You can sign in with your Google or Facebook account. We check the sign-in directly with Google or Facebook. Signing in is optional: horoscopes work without it; friends, dating, comments and Ask the stars need it.

What we receive: your account id, name, email address and profile photo. With your permission we also read your birthday once, when your profile is created (Google People API user.birthday.read, or Facebook user_birthday), because your zodiac sign and the 18+ check for dating come from it. If you don’t share it, the app asks you for your birth date instead.
What we don’t do: we never post anything on your behalf, never read your contacts, friends list, emails or other data, and never sell this information or use it for advertising.
How it is used: your name and photo are shown on your profile (to friends, next to comments and, if you join dating, to other members). You can upload a different photo or change your name at any time. Your email address and birth date are never shown to other people.
Inviting friends: invitations are sent by you, by sharing your invite link through an app you choose (Gmail, WhatsApp, Messenger, …). We do not collect information about people you invite.

Zodiac Match’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Facebook data deletion: to delete the data we received from Facebook, open the app and choose My profile → Delete my profile, or email [email protected] from the address on your account. We delete it within 30 days. You can also remove the app in Facebook under Settings → Apps and Websites.

6. How we share information

With other users: if you create a profile, your display name and sun sign are visible to your friends and next to your comments. Your birth date is never shown to others.
With other dating members: if you join dating, your photo, first name, age and sun sign are shown to members whose preferences match yours, and in the counts on the reading screen. Your messages are seen only by the match you send them to. Your birth date, gender choice and reports are never shown.
With service providers listed in sections 3 and 4, only to run the Service.
For legal reasons: when required by law or to protect users and the Service.

7. How long we keep it

Profile, friends, sent readings, comments, questions and purchase records: until you delete your profile.
Dating profile, photo, swipes, matches and messages: until you leave dating or delete your profile. Unmatching deletes that conversation for both people. Reports may be kept to prevent abuse.
Reactions and poll votes: kept as anonymous statistics (linked to the install ID only).
IP address hashes used for rate limiting: deleted within a few hours.
Contact messages: as long as needed to handle your request.

8. Deleting your data

In the app, open My profile → Delete my profile (from Settings, Friends or Messages). This permanently removes your profile, friendships, devices, sent readings, comments, questions and purchase records from our servers. You can also email [email protected] with your friend code and we will delete them within 30 days. Uninstalling the app removes the data stored on your device. Subscriptions are cancelled in Google Play, not by deleting your profile.

To remove only your dating data, open Messages → ⚙ → Leave dating. This deletes your photo, swipes, matches and messages and keeps your horoscope profile.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or Turkey’s Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data, KVKK), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, and to complain to a data protection authority. We process profile data to provide the features you ask for, and analytics and ad data on the basis of consent or legitimate interests as required by local law. To exercise your rights, email [email protected].

10. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has created a profile, contact us and we will delete it. Dating is only for people aged 18 and over: the app checks the birth date on the profile, and people who look under 18 can be reported.

11. Security

Data is sent over encrypted HTTPS connections. Profile access tokens are stored on our servers only as one-way hashes, and purchase tokens only as hashes. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.

Reporting a security vulnerability

If you find a security problem in the app, the website or our API, please email [email protected] with the subject “Security report”, a description and steps to reproduce it. We reply within 5 working days and fix confirmed problems as quickly as possible. Please do not access other people’s data or disrupt the service while testing.

12. International transfers

Our servers and our service providers may be located outside your country. When data is transferred, we rely on the safeguards our providers offer under applicable law.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. We will change the effective date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
