Privacy Policy

Who This Policy Is For

This policy applies to anyone who purchases a Your Home Chart reading.

I am Charlie Ropsy, trading as Home Alchemy, based in France. This is a small independent business. I am the only person handling your data, and I take that responsibility seriously.

What Information I Collect

When you purchase a Your Home Chart reading, you provide:

• First name and last name
• Email address
• Date of birth
• Time of birth
• Place of birth
• Gender at birth

Each order can include readings for up to 5 people in total. If you are ordering for others as well as yourself, you also provide the following birth details for each additional person: first name, date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth.

Birth data (date, time, and place of birth) is sensitive personal information. It is collected solely because it is necessary to calculate the astrological chart that each reading is based on. Without it, the reading cannot be produced.

Age requirement

Your Home Chart is intended for adults aged 18 and over. If a reading is being ordered for someone under 18, a parent or guardian must place the order and provide consent on their behalf, including consent to the processing of that person's birth details.

Why I Collect It and What I Do With It

To generate your reading

Your date of birth, time of birth, place of birth, and gender at birth are entered into Astro.com, a publicly available chart calculation tool, to produce your astrological birth chart data. That chart data, along with your first name, is then passed to Claude AI (made by Anthropic) to generate your personalised written reading.

This birth data is used only to produce your reading for that specific order. It is not used for any other purpose, shared for any other reason, or retained beyond what is needed to complete and support your order.

I want to be transparent about this: AI is involved in producing your reading. It works from your birth data and chart, with my guidance as the practitioner behind the process.

To deliver your reading

Your email address is used to send you the finished reading, which arrives within 48 hours of purchase.

For customer service

Your email address may be used to contact you about your order — for example, if I have a question about your details or if there is a delay.

The Legal Basis for Processing Your Data

The lawful basis for processing your personal information is consent. Under GDPR, consent must be freely given, specific, and informed. There are two separate points at which I ask for it.

Before you submit your birth details, you are asked to tick a checkbox confirming that you understand this information is sensitive personal data and that you consent to it being collected and used solely to generate your Your Home Chart reading. This is a separate step from the checkout process.

At checkout, you confirm your agreement to this Privacy Policy as a whole, covering the use of your name, email address, and order information for delivery, client records, and customer service.

If you are submitting birth details for another person, you confirm via a separate checkbox that you have that person's permission to share their information for the purpose of generating their reading. By ticking that box, you are confirming that consent has been obtained. It is your responsibility to have that permission in place before submitting anyone else's data.

You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting me at [email protected]. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing that has already taken place.

Third Parties Who Handle Your Data

Three third-party tools are involved in delivering your reading:

HighLevel handles the checkout and stores your order information. It acts as the payment and CRM platform through which your purchase is processed.

Astro.com is used to calculate your astrological birth chart from the birth data you provide. Your data is entered manually to generate chart information, which is not stored on my end beyond what is needed to complete your reading.

Anthropic (Claude AI) receives your chart data and first name to generate the written text of your reading. Anthropic's privacy policy governs how they handle data passed through their API. You can read it at anthropic.com/privacy.

How Long I Keep Your Data

I retain your personal information for 12 months after your purchase. This allows me to respond to any follow-up questions about your reading. After 12 months, your data is deleted.

If you request deletion before that point, I will delete your data within 30 days.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data I hold about you
• Correct any inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing, or request that it be restricted
• Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email me at [email protected]. I will respond within 30 days.

If you are based in the EU and believe your data has been handled unlawfully, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In France, that is the CNIL (cnil.fr).

Changes to This Policy

If I make any significant changes to how I handle your data, I will update this page and revise the date at the top. I will not change the basis on which I process your data without asking for your consent again.
