Effective Date: 4th of April 2025
Introduction and Scope This Privacy Policy governs the processing of personal data carried out through the website accessible at https://myastromatch.com (hereinafter referred to as “the Website”).
This document outlines how data is collected, stored, processed, and protected when users interact with the Website, either by browsing, submitting information, or using any of the services provided.
By continuing to access the Website, you agree to be bound by the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not accept these terms, you should immediately cease using the Website.
Legal Basis and Compliance
The processing of personal data on this Website is carried out in full accordance with the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and all relevant UK and international data protection laws. All personal data is processed lawfully, fairly, and transparently, ensuring the rights of users are respected at all times.
Types of Data Collected When you use the Website, you may voluntarily submit personal information, particularly when filling out forms, participating in quizzes, registering for newsletters, or requesting contact. This information may include, but is not limited to, your name, email address, preferences, time zone, and information related to the services you are interested in. In addition, certain data may be collected automatically by your browser or device, including IP address, language settings, browser version, date and time of access, and interactions with the Website. This technical data is used to ensure system integrity, detect errors, and improve performance and user experience.
Purposes of Processing
The personal data collected through the Website is used solely for purposes that are necessary, relevant, and proportionate to your interaction with the services. This includes communicating with you about your interests or requests, managing your user preferences or quiz results, providing access to digital content, responding to inquiries, and maintaining the Website’s security and reliability. Where explicit consent has been given, we may also use your data to send email communications related to new content, updates, or relevant services offered through the Website. You may withdraw this consent at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our messages.
Data Collection through Cookies and Analytics
The Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to distinguish you from other users, remember your preferences, and analyze how you navigate our content. These technologies help us better understand your behavior on the Website and tailor the experience accordingly. Essential cookies are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality. Non-essential cookies, such as those used for analytics or marketing, are activated only upon your explicit consent. All users have the option to manage their cookie settings directly from their browser or, where applicable, from a consent banner displayed on the Website.
Third-Party Data Processing and Transfers
Your personal information may be shared with carefully selected third-party service providers that assist in the operation and technical functioning of the Website, including but not limited to website hosting, analytics, and email marketing platforms. These entities are engaged as data processors and are bound by strict contractual obligations to process data only in accordance with our instructions and in full compliance with applicable data protection laws. No data is sold or shared for unrelated commercial purposes. Where international data transfers occur (e.g., hosting servers located outside the UK), we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms.
Retention of Personal Data
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or to comply with applicable legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements. Once the data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymized in a manner that renders it unidentifiable. In the case of email communications or service records, data may be retained for a reasonable period following the termination of the user relationship, solely for archival or legal purposes.
User Rights Under Data Protection Law
As a user, you are entitled to exercise various rights under applicable data protection regulations. These include the right to request access to your personal data, the right to correct inaccuracies, the right to request erasure of your data (commonly known as the "right to be forgotten"), the right to object to or restrict certain types of processing, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw any previously granted consent at any time. You may also lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your rights have been infringed. All requests regarding your personal data must be made in writing, and we will respond within the statutory time limit, unless an extension is justified by the complexity of the request.
Security and Protection of Data
We implement a variety of appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure, or access. These measures include encryption protocols, access restrictions, regular backups, and secure data storage practices. However, while every effort is made to ensure the safety of your data, no transmission or storage system is completely infallible. We therefore encourage users to take personal precautions, such as using secure passwords and avoiding the use of public or unsecured networks when accessing sensitive content.
External Links and Third-Party Content
The Website may contain links to third-party websites, applications, or services that are not operated or controlled by us. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party sites. Users are encouraged to read the privacy policies of any external services they access via links provided on our Website, particularly before submitting personal data to those platforms.
Modifications to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or amend this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in legal obligations, technology, or our data processing practices. Any such modifications will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Users are encouraged to consult this policy periodically to remain informed about how their data is handled. Continued use of the Website following any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
