Introduction

The Create Corporation (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates The Aspect, accessible at theaspect.app and through associated mobile applications (collectively, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our Service. By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may share information with the following categories of service providers, each contractually required to process data only for the purposes we specify:

• Payment processors — to manage subscription billing and payment transactions
• Email delivery services — to send transactional messages and opted-in communications
• Content generation services — to produce personalized astrological interpretations based on your chart data
• Cloud hosting and infrastructure providers — to securely host and deliver the Service
• Analytics services — to understand aggregate usage patterns and improve the Service

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect our legal rights, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Data Retention

• Account and profile data is retained for as long as your account remains active.
• Upon account deletion, your personal data is permanently erased within 30 days.
• Generated content associated with your account is deleted when your account is deleted.
• Exceptions: Anonymized, aggregated analytics data and records required by law (such as tax compliance records) may be retained beyond account deletion.

Data Security

We take the security of your data seriously and employ industry-standard practices to protect it. Our database uses encryption at rest (AES-256), and all data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected with TLS 1.3 encryption. Birth data receives additional application-level encryption for an extra layer of protection.

While no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, we are committed to maintaining robust safeguards. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities in accordance with applicable law.
