Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

✨ Our Promise to You ✨

At Astrological Design, conscious living extends to every aspect of how we do business — including how we honour and protect your personal information. Just as we believe your home should be a sanctuary of trust and safety, we believe your data deserves the same care and respect.

We will never sell your information. We will never misuse your trust. Your privacy is sacred to us. 🌙

1. Who We Are

Astrological Design is an online store operated by Katalin Malatinszky, based in Canada. We offer digital downloads, e-books, and physical books related to astrology, interior design, and conscious living. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information in accordance with Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws.

2. Information We Collect

We collect personal information only as necessary to provide our products and services. This may include:

Contact information — your name, email address, and phone number when you place an order or contact us
Billing and payment information — your billing address and payment details (processed securely through Shopify Payments; we do not store your full payment card details)
Shipping information — your delivery address for physical book orders only
Account information — if you create an account, your login credentials and order history
Device and usage data — your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on our site, collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools
Communications — any messages you send us through our contact form or email

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

Process and fulfill your orders, including delivering digital downloads and shipping physical books
Send order confirmations, download links, and shipping notifications
Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
Send marketing communications, such as newsletters and promotions, where you have given consent (you may unsubscribe at any time)
Improve our website, products, and services through analytics
Comply with legal obligations

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our store, including:

Shopify — our e-commerce platform, which processes orders and payments
IngramSpark — our print-on-demand partner, which fulfills and ships physical book orders
Email marketing providers — such as Klaviyo or Shopify Email- are used to send communications you have consented to receive
Analytics providers — such as Google Analytics- are used to understand how visitors use our site.

All third-party providers are required to handle your information securely and only for the purposes we specify.

5. Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to enhance your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and analyze site traffic. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features of our site may not function properly as a result.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. Order records are typically retained for a minimum of 7 years for tax and accounting purposes.

7. Your Rights

Under PIPEDA and applicable Canadian privacy law, you have the right to:

Access the personal information we hold about you
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
Withdraw consent to the collection or use of your information (subject to legal or contractual restrictions)
Request deletion of your personal information, where applicable
File a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you believe your privacy rights have been violated

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us, and we will respond within 30 days.

8. Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously. Our store is hosted on Shopify, which uses industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our site. Payment information is processed through Shopify Payments, which is PCI DSS compliant. While we take all reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as Barnes & Noble or The Asher House. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.

10. Children's Privacy

Our store is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will promptly delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
