Privacy Policy

1. Purpose and Scope of This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Card Symbols processes personal data when users access the website or choose to contact us. The purpose of this document is to provide transparent and understandable information about data handling practices in accordance with applicable data protection requirements in the United Kingdom. The policy applies to all visitors of the website and to any personal data submitted through available communication channels.

The website operates as an informational resource. Personal data is not required to browse general content. Data is processed only where it is necessary to support communication, technical operation, or basic site functionality.

2. Nature of the Website and Role of the Controller

Card Symbols is an informational website that publishes reference material related to horoscope 2026, tarot 2026, and personal horoscope concepts. The website does not provide professional services and does not engage in automated decision-making.

For the purposes of applicable data protection law, Card Symbols acts as the data controller where it determines the purposes and means of processing personal data submitted through the website. Processing activities are limited in scope and proportionate to the website’s informational nature.

3. Categories of Personal Data

Depending on how users interact with the website, the following categories of personal data may be processed:

contact information, such as name and email address, if voluntarily provided
message content submitted through the contact form or email
basic technical data, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and access logs
preference-related information, where applicable, to support site display or accessibility

The website does not require users to create accounts and does not request sensitive personal data as part of normal operation.

4. Methods of Data Collection

Personal data may be collected in the following ways:

directly from users when they submit a message or enquiry
automatically through standard web technologies required to deliver and secure the website
through cookies or similar technologies, where necessary for functionality or preferences

All data collection methods are designed to minimise intrusion and avoid unnecessary processing.

5. Purposes of Processing

Personal data is processed for the following limited purposes:

responding to enquiries and messages submitted by users
maintaining communication continuity where follow-up is required
ensuring technical security and stable website operation
dentifying and resolving technical issues
maintaining internal records related to website communication

Personal data is not used for profiling, behavioural advertising, or decision-making processes that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

Where required under applicable law, processing is carried out on the basis of:

legitimate interests in operating and securing an informational website
consent, where users voluntarily submit information through contact channels
compliance with legal obligations, where applicable

Consent, where relied upon, is limited to the specific context in which data is provided and does not extend beyond that purpose.

7. Data Minimisation and Accuracy

Card Symbols applies the principle of data minimisation by collecting only information that is necessary for the stated purpose. Users are encouraged to provide only relevant details when contacting the website.
Reasonable steps are taken to ensure that personal data remains accurate and up to date for the duration of processing. Where inaccuracies are identified, corrections may be requested.

8. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Contact messages are typically retained for a limited period to allow for response handling and reference.

Technical and security-related logs may be retained for shorter or longer periods depending on operational needs. Retention periods are reviewed periodically to ensure proportionality.

9. Data Sharing and Recipients

Personal data may be shared only where necessary to support website operation, including:

technical service providers involved in hosting or security
professional support services assisting with technical maintenance

All recipients are expected to process data under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations. Personal data is not sold or shared for unrelated purposes.

10. International Data Transfers

Where personal data is processed outside the United Kingdom, appropriate measures are taken to ensure a level of protection consistent with applicable data protection standards. Such measures may include contractual safeguards and access limitations.

11. Security Measures

The website uses organisational and technical measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, or loss. These measures may include access controls, limited administrative permissions, and secure communication practices.

While no online system can be completely risk-free, Card Symbols aims to apply reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data processed.

request access to personal data
