Privacy notice
Last updated: November 2026
This notice explains what personal information I collect when you enquire about or book a reading, why I need it, and what rights you have. I've tried to keep it short and in plain English.
Who I am
Conduit Astrology is run by Katya Poznyak, a sole trader based in London. I am the data controller for the information you share with me. You can contact me about anything in this notice at katya@conduitastrology.co.uk.
ICO registration number: to add
What I collect
- Contact details: your name and email address.
- Birth details: your date, time and place of birth. For a synastry reading, the same details for the other person.
- What you tell me: what you write in the enquiry form, in emails, and what we discuss in the session.
- Reading materials: my notes, your chart and the written summary or report I prepare for you.
- Booking and payment records: what you booked, when, and whether it was paid. Card payments are handled by Stripe; I never see or store your card details.
The other person in a synastry reading. If you give me someone else's birth details, please make sure they're happy for you to share them. I use them only to prepare your reading.
Sensitive information. You may choose to tell me about your health, relationships or other personal matters. I use anything like this only to prepare and carry out your reading, and only because you've chosen to share it.
Why I use it, and the legal basis
- To reply to your enquiry and provide your reading. This is necessary to deliver the service you've asked for (contract).
- To use any sensitive information you choose to share. Your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
- To keep financial records. I'm required by law to keep records for tax purposes (legal obligation).
I don't use your information for marketing unless you've asked to hear from me, and I never sell it.
Who else handles it
I use a small number of trusted services to run the practice. They handle your information only on my behalf:
- Netlify: hosts this website and receives enquiry forms.
- Namecheap and Google (Gmail): email delivery and storage.
- Stripe: card payments.
- Zoom: online sessions. Sessions are not recorded unless we both agree beforehand.
Some of these companies store data outside the UK, mainly in the United States. Where that happens, they use safeguards approved under UK data protection law.
How long I keep it
- Enquiries that don't lead to a booking: deleted within 12 months.
- Charts, notes and summaries: kept for 2 years after your last reading, so I can build on them if you return, then deleted.
- Payment and booking records: kept for as long as tax law requires, currently around six years.
You can ask me to delete your reading materials sooner at any time.
Your rights
You have the right to ask me for a copy of your information, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how I use it, to receive it in a portable form, and to withdraw consent. Email me and I'll respond within one month.
If you're unhappy with how I've handled your information, please tell me first. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
