PRIVACY POLICY

PURPOSE

The goal of The Ratio Space Inc. (“The Ratio”) is to apply data science to astrology, and use that to provide individual clients, creators (such as authors, artists, and software engineers), and business owners with analytics and insights that will empower people to improve their lives by better understanding the meaning of life events and the effect those events have on their inner and outer lives.

This Privacy Policy is designed to help you better understand The Ratio’s policies and procedures concerning the collection, use, protection and disclosure of the data you do provide to us or that we collect, and the different ways we may use or share it.

To be clear, The Ratio captures individual data which is aggregated en masse and used to generate analytics. We sell analytics; we do not sell data.

Please see “How to Contact Us Regarding Privacy” below to learn more about sending us any privacy-related questions or concerns you may have.

If you are a resident of California, please see our California Privacy Policy.

If you are a resident of the EU, please see our GDPR Policy.

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We collect both “Non-Personal Information” and “Personal Information.”

  • Non-Personal Information includes information that cannot be used to personally identify you, such as anonymous usage data, general demographic information we may collect, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, and aggregated data that we obtain or that third parties obtain for us.
  • “Personal Information” is information which identifies you personally, such as your first or last names, email address, postal address, telephone number, job title, and/or company name.

THE RATIO’S “PLAIN ENGLISH” EXPLANATION OF WHAT DATA WE COLLECT, HOW WE KEEP YOUR DATA SECURE, AND WHAT WE USE IT FOR

The Ratio Space Inc collects the following user data:

  1. Data associated with calculating an astrological birth chart, including date, year, time and place of a user’s birth.
  2. Extended Behavioral data characteristics, which are used in aggregation to study astrology with statistical methodologies. These insights are our primary “product”.
  3. Personal Information necessary to sell these products to a user, such as credit card information and a physical address.

All data is stored on secure servers, which partition and firewall Personal Information.

TheRatio.Space as a website may offer or send its users advertisements from time to time, but your data is not captured specifically to target you with advertisements from third parties. It is captured to conduct science on the data in aggregate to learn more about astrology and refine astrological assumptions to be in-line with statistical observation. In short, our project is dedicated to advancing astrology.
