Children’s Privacy Policy

1. Our Policy on Minors

AstroSaathi AI is committed to protecting the privacy of children. Our Service is generally intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 18 ("minors").

We strictly adhere to the requirements of COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) in the US and the DPDP Act (Digital Personal Data Protection Act) in India regarding the processing of children's data.

2. Data Collection Practices

• No Knowing Collection: We do not knowingly collect, use, or disclose personal data from children under 18 without verifiable parental consent.
• Age Screening: Our sign-up process includes an age-gate. If a user indicates they are under 18, they are prompted to provide a parent's email for consent verification or are denied access.
• Inadvertent Collection: If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a minor without consent, we will take immediate steps to delete the information.

3. Information for Parents & Guardians

We encourage parents to play an active role in their children's online experience. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe your child has provided us with personal information:

1. Contact Us Immediately: Email us at support@astrosaathiai.com with the subject line "COPPA/DPDP Violation - Minor Acccount".
2. Verification: We may request information to verify your identity as the parent/guardian.
3. Deletion: Upon verification, we will permanently delete the child’s account and all associated data.

4. Teenagers (Ages 13-17)

We recognize that teenagers between 13 and 17 may have an interest in self-discovery tools like astrology.

• We recommend they explore the site with parental guidance.
• We ensure that no targeted advertising or profiling is enabled for users identified as minors in jurisdictions where this is prohibited.
• Content is moderated to ensure it is appropriate for a general audience (e.g., no explicit adult content).
