What Astrotalk does with your data
Astrotalk logs which website you visited before arriving and which you visit after leaving, uses cookies to show advertisements matched to your preferences, shares that data with third-party advertisers and analytics tools, and may retain all information for as long as it considers necessary.
-
Shares your data with partners
Passed to group companies, advertisers or analytics firms you never chose.
What this costs you. Your number and habits travel to companies you have never heard of and never agreed to. This is the step where the spam calls start.
Show me where they say that
Astrotalk’s own policy says “The information is used for improving the site content and performance and the website may share this information with Third Party Service Providers and Third Party Advertisers to measure the overall effectiveness of the website’s online advertising, content, programming and for other bonafide purpose as required”
Our summary discloses sharing with Third Party Service Providers and Third Party Advertisers to measure online advertising effectiveness, and separately states the website uses third-party analytics tools that collect information sent by the user's device.
-
Builds an advertising profile of you
They watch what you view, tap and buy, and use it to decide which ads you see.
What this costs you. Your attention gets priced. What you hesitate over becomes a bid — and a profile built to predict you is a profile built to persuade you.
Show me where they say that
Astrotalk’s own policy says “The website uses the cookies to personalize the user’s experience on the website and to display an advertisement according to the user’s preferences.”
Our summary the 'Log Files, IP Address and Cookies' section discloses that cookies are used to display advertising matched to the user's preferences; the 'Usage of the Information' section adds that cookie, log file, device identifier, location and clear-gif data is used to provide custom, personalised content and information, including advertising.
-
Follows you onto other websites and apps
Their tracking carries on after you leave, through pixels and SDKs embedded elsewhere.
What this costs you. You get recognised on sites that have nothing to do with them. Closing the app does not close the file.
Show me where they say that
Astrotalk’s own policy says “URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of the previous website visited by the User before visiting this website or the URL of the website the User visits after visiting this Website.”
Our summary the non-personally-identifiable information section discloses collection of the URL of the website visited before arriving at Astrotalk and the URL visited after leaving it, alongside IP address, ISP and geographical location.
-
Keeps your records long-term
Held on after you stop using the service.
What this costs you. Years after you delete the app, the record is still sitting there — and every year it sits there is another year it can leak.
Show me where they say that
Astrotalk’s own policy says “All information (and copies thereof) collected by Website, including without limitation Personal Information, User Data, and other information related to your access and use of the services offered by Website, may be retained by Website for such period as necessary, including but not limited to, for purposes such as compliance with statutory or legal obligations, tax laws and potential evidentiary purposes and for other reasonable purposes such as to implement, administer, and manage your access and use of our services, or resolution of any disputes.”
Our summary retention is set at 'such period as necessary' against an open-ended, non-exhaustive list of purposes. Elsewhere the policy states device identifiers or phone numbers may be associated with the account 'for as long as reasonable', and that unsolicited information is deemed non-confidential and may be used or disclosed 'without any limitations'.
What the policy does not mention
These are uses Astrotalk’s policy is silent on. Silence is not a promise — it means the document does not say, and we do not infer either way.

- Trains AI models on your content
Astrotalk is one app. How many are on your phone?
Most people carry twenty to forty. Add yours and see the total in one screen — how many share your data, profile you for ads, or follow you across the web. Then take it back from all of them at once.

Questions
What does Astrotalk do with my personal data?
According to Astrotalk's own privacy policy, read on 2026-08-14, it discloses 4 of the six uses we track: shares your data with partners, builds an advertising profile of you, follows you onto other websites and apps, keeps your records long-term.
Can I withdraw my consent from Astrotalk?
Section 6(4) of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 gives you the right to withdraw consent for processing you agreed to. The Act's substantive provisions commence in stages up to May 2027, so a request made now asks for voluntary compliance and puts the date on record. Processing a company carries out under a legal obligation — such as KYC records the RBI requires — cannot be withdrawn.
Does Astrotalk track me for advertising?
Yes — Astrotalk's published policy discloses this. The exact sentence it is based on is quoted on this page, with the date we read it and a link to the source.
Every use above is one Astrotalk declared in its own published privacy policy, which we
read on 2026-08-14. Quotes are verbatim; the summary beside each one is ours
and is labelled as ours. Nothing here is inferred.
Saaph.in is a DPDP consent and request management platform operated by Ronin Works
Private Limited. It is a communication facilitator, not your legal or authorised
representative. The DPDP Act 2023 commences in stages up to May 2027, so a request
made today asks for voluntary compliance and records the date you asked.
