Your privacy

Privacy policy.

Last updated 10 October 2026. This page explains how information shared through this website is handled.

We respect your privacy. This policy describes what information is handled when you visit this website or contact Dr. Chittaranjan Shastri through it, and the choices you have.

01

Who we are

This website belongs to Dr. Chittaranjan Shastri (“we”, “us”), a Vedic astrologer based in Kolkata and Kharagpur, West Bengal, India, offering consultations in person, by telephone and online. This policy explains what personal information is handled when you use this website or contact us through it, and the choices you have.

02

Information you share with us

We collect only what you choose to give us. This may include your name, phone number, email address, date, time and place of birth, the topic of your enquiry and any message you write.

The enquiry form on this website does not send your details to our servers. It prepares a message that opens in WhatsApp for you to review and send yourself. Nothing is shared until you press send in WhatsApp. You can also reach us directly by telephone, WhatsApp or email.

03

How we use your information

We use what you share only to respond to your enquiry, arrange and conduct a consultation, and follow up on what you asked about. We do not use your details for advertising, we do not sell them, and we do not rent or trade them.

Birth details and personal questions can be sensitive. They are used only to prepare your reading or answer your question.

04

Our basis for handling information

We handle your information because you have given it to us voluntarily for a specific purpose, namely to receive a response or consultation. This is consistent with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. You may withdraw your consent at any time by telling us, as described below.

05

Third-party services

WhatsApp (Meta), your telephone carrier and your email provider handle messages and calls when you use them to contact us. Their own privacy policies apply to that processing, and we do not control it.

Our website links to our Facebook page. If you follow that link, Facebook’s terms and privacy policy apply on their site.

The website is hosted on servers that may keep standard technical logs, such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, for security and reliable operation. Fonts are served from this website itself and not by an outside font provider.

06

Cookies, storage and analytics

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or analytics tools on this website. The site stores one small preference in your browser, your light or dark theme choice, which stays on your device and is never sent to us. You can clear it at any time from your browser settings.

07

How long we keep information

Messages and details you send us by WhatsApp, email or telephone are kept only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and consultation, and for a reasonable period afterwards so we can follow up if you contact us again. You can ask us to delete them sooner.

08

Security

We take reasonable steps to keep information you share with us private, including limiting access to the devices and accounts used to receive enquiries. No method of transmission over the internet or messaging service is completely secure, so please avoid sending highly sensitive information such as bank details, passwords or government ID numbers. We will never ask for them.

09

Your choices and rights

You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it, and you may withdraw consent for us to contact you. To do so, write to us at the email address below or message us on WhatsApp. We will respond within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India once it is operational, as provided under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

10

Children’s privacy

This website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 without the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has sent us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

11

Astrology disclaimer

Astrology is a traditional belief system and offers a perspective, not a guarantee. Consultations are not a substitute for professional medical, legal, financial or psychological advice.

12

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if the website or the way we handle enquiries changes. The current version, with its date, will always be on this page.
