Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how ZodiacPulse (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you visit https://thesharpblog.com (the “Site”). We operate this Site for a worldwide audience, with a primary focus on readers in the United States.
The Site is operated by Saurabh Vishwakarma, Founder and operator, based in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India 226001.
By using the Site, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.
1. Who we are
Saurabh builds practical web tools and is responsible for this website’s content, operation, privacy practices, and advertising configuration.
Questions about privacy or advertising: saurabh@techsan.in · +91 70072 85020 (WhatsApp).
2. Information we collect
We do not require you to create an account. We collect limited information so the Site can function, stay useful, and support advertising.
Information you provide
- Optional first name, birth date, and quiz answers if you use personality or compatibility tools. These are used to generate an on-screen reading. We do not require email to use core horoscope pages.
- Messages you send us by email or WhatsApp.
Information collected automatically
- Pages visited, date and time, approximate time spent on a page, referring website or app, browser type, device type, and language.
- A technical session identifier stored in your browser (local storage) so we can count unique visits and time on page.
- Night-mode, font-size, and “do not show install prompt again” preferences stored on your device.
- IP address, which we store only as a one-way hash for abuse prevention and unique-visit estimates. We do not use hashed IPs to identify you by name.
We do not knowingly collect government ID numbers, payment card data, or precise GPS location.
3. How we use information
- To provide daily, weekly, monthly, love, money, compatibility, and personality content.
- To remember display preferences and optional “add to home screen” choices.
- To measure traffic (page views, unique visitors, time on page, and traffic source such as Google, Facebook, or direct) so we can improve the Site.
- To show advertisements, including Google AdSense and video ads where enabled.
- To respond to your messages and to protect the Site against spam or abuse.
- To comply with law and enforce our Terms.
Horoscope and compatibility tools are entertainment only. They are not medical, mental-health, legal, financial, or professional advice.
4. Advertising (including Google AdSense)
ZodiacPulse uses third-party advertising, which may include Google AdSense and video advertisements. Google and other ad partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your visits to this Site and other websites in order to provide ads about goods and services that may interest you, to measure ad performance, and to stop showing you the same ad too often.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices (U.S.) or www.youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this or other websites. We do not control these vendors’ cookies. Please read Google’s policies: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
If advertising is turned off in our admin settings, ad code is not printed on the page. We do not show empty “advertisement placeholder” boxes to readers.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our partners use cookies, local storage, and pixels. See our Cookie Policy for details, types of cookies, and how to control them.
6. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)
If you visit from the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process limited technical data as needed to operate the Site (legitimate interests), to provide a feature you request (consent or contract), and to comply with law. You may object to processing or withdraw consent for optional cookies in your browser settings.
7. U.S. state privacy notices (including California)
We do not sell your personal information for money. Advertising partners may collect identifiers and internet activity for targeted advertising, which some U.S. state laws treat as “sharing” or “selling.” You can opt out of personalized ads using the links in Section 4.
California residents (CCPA/CPRA) may request to know, delete, or correct personal information we hold, and to opt out of sale/sharing, subject to legal exceptions. Email saurabh@techsan.in with the subject “California Privacy Request.” We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
8. Children
The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided information, contact us and we will delete it. Parents in the United States may review COPPA rights at the FTC website.
9. Sharing
We share information with:
- Service providers who host the Site or help us operate it, under instructions to protect data.
- Advertising partners such as Google, as described above.
- Authorities if required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and the Site.
We do not sell mailing lists. We do not share birth-date quiz answers with advertisers as a named profile.
10. Retention and security
Visit logs are kept to understand traffic and improve the Site, then deleted or aggregated when no longer needed. We use reasonable technical measures (hashed IP, access-controlled admin). No method of transmission is 100% secure.
11. International transfers
The Site is operated from India. If you access it from the United States or elsewhere, your information may be processed in India and in countries where our host or ad partners operate (including the United States).
12. Your choices
- Browser controls: block or delete cookies; use private browsing.
- Device settings: reset advertising ID on iOS/Android.
- Email us to ask questions or request deletion of information you sent us.
13. Changes
We may update this Policy. The effective date above will change. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
