Privacy Notice

At The Astrology Diaries (astrologydiaries.com), the privacy of my visitors is extremely important. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information that is received and collected and how it is used.

First and foremost, I will never share your email address or any other personal information to anyone without your direct consent. Period.

2. Cookies and web beacons

You should review the respective privacy policies on any and all third-party ad servers for more information regarding their practices and how to opt-out.
