1. Mathematical and Astronomical Requirements
Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is highly coordinate-sensitive. Unlike Western astrology, which often relies solely on the day of birth, Vedic calculations depend entirely on the visual celestial horizon at the precise location and moment of your birth.
To compute your **Lagna (Ascendant) chart** and your **Navamsa (D9) chart**, our system requires:
- Exact Latitude & Longitude: Used to compute the local horizon coordinate frame. A minor coordinate mismatch of even 30 kilometers can alter the rising house lord, leading to completely incorrect Vimshottari Dasha intervals.
- Exact Birth Time: The ascendant changes zodiac signs approximately every two hours. A few minutes of error can shift the degree cusp, completely modifying your planet house allocations.
2. Where Your Data is Processed & Cached
When you enter your birth profile details, the following flow is executed to maintain rapid speeds and maximum security:
- Geocoding Resolution: Your birth city is resolved to precise coordinates via local geocoding caches to avoid sharing raw location data with generic search API systems.
- Astronomical Computation: The coordinates and UTC time offset are fed into our computation engine integrating the Swiss Ephemeris library and NASA JPL ephemeris files. No human reads this raw math; it is handled entirely via code in milliseconds.
- Dynamic Caching: Calculated planet tables and house divisions are cached inside secure Redis layers. This cache allows your dashboard to render planetary transits instantly without running complex physical math cycles on every page reload.
3. How AI Astrologer Uses Your Data
Our AI consultation system operates via a strict RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system:
- When you ask a question, the system retrieves only the calculated mathematical houses and aspects of your chart (e.g., "Mars in 7th House in Scorpio") along with relevant classical Sanskrit text citations.
- This structured physical data is compiled into a context prompt for processing. Your email address, exact physical birth location name, or verified phone number are **never** shared with the AI models.
- The AI system processes the astronomical context in an isolated execution loop and returns a highly citation-accurate reading.
4. Permanent Erasure & Deletion Procedure
Under our compliance with the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, you retain absolute authority to erase your birth record.
If you choose to delete your account or birth profile:
- All associated geolocated coordinates, birth timelines, and AI consultation logs are permanently expunged from our operational SQL databases.
- Our cached Redis records are invalidated immediately.
- Your record is deleted within **24 hours** from active database clusters, and within **7 business days** from secure cloud backup systems.
To execute immediate erasure, go to your **Account Settings > Profile > Delete My Account**, or send a deletion request from your registered email address to myhoroscope.space@gmail.com.
