3. 🎯 How We Use Your Data

We never use your personal data to train general-purpose third-party AI models or sell it to data brokers.

4. ✨ Cosmic & Astrology Data

simmmy's core matching engine uses your birth date, time, and place of birth to generate a natal astrological chart, tarot archetype, and numerology life path number. This is central to what makes simmmy unique.

What We Do with Cosmic Data

• Generate your natal chart, including sun, moon, rising, Venus, and Mars placements
• Calculate your tarot archetype based on birth numerology
• Compute cross-compatibility scores with potential matches
• Provide daily astrological transit guidance personalised to your chart
• Improve our cosmic matching algorithms using aggregated, anonymised astrological data

Sensitive Categories

In certain jurisdictions, birth data combined with health or religious information may be considered sensitive. Where this applies, we process cosmic data only with your explicit consent and using the strongest available protections. You may delete your cosmic profile at any time in Settings > Cosmic Profile.

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

With Other Users

Your public profile (photos, bio, zodiac sign, interests, location city) is visible to other users as part of how simmmy works. Your private messages are only visible to you and the recipient. Sensitive data (birth time, psychological scores) is shown only in aggregate compatibility percentages.

With Service Providers

We use carefully vetted third-party vendors to help operate simmmy, including cloud hosting, analytics, payment processing, customer support, and fraud detection. All vendors sign Data Processing Agreements and are bound to process data only on our instructions.

For Safety & Legal Reasons

We may share data with law enforcement, courts, or regulatory authorities when we are legally required to do so, or when necessary to protect the safety of our users or prevent serious harm.

Business Transfers

If simmmy is acquired, merged, or undergoes a restructuring, your data may be transferred to the relevant parties as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such change.

We never share your data with advertisers for targeted advertising purposes without your explicit opt-in consent.
