Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 16, 2026

Hesper is an app that offers AI-written astrology and tarot readings and conversations for entertainment and self-reflection. It is published by LINKOVA PTE. LTD., a company registered in Singapore (“LINKOVA”, “we”, “us”), which is responsible for your information. This policy explains what we collect, why, who receives it and the choices you have.

In short

• You don't need an email address or a login. Hesper creates an anonymous account for your device.
• We use your birth details to calculate your chart and to write your readings.
• Only with your permission are your details and messages sent to our AI providers, DeepSeek and taluna, to write readings and replies. You can say no or turn this off at any time; the app still works without AI.
• We don't sell your information, show ads or track you across other apps and websites.
• You can delete your account and its data in the app whenever you like.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us

• Profile: the name you choose, your pronouns (optional), your birth date, birth time (optional) and birth place (the city, its coordinates and time zone), and optional answers such as your relationship status and how clear you feel about areas of your life.
• People you add: their name, how you know them, and their birth date, time and place. Please add someone only if you're comfortable sharing their details with us.
• Your content: chat messages, tarot questions and readings, notes and favourites you save, thumbs up or down on replies, and reports you send about AI replies.
• Your choices: whether you allow AI processing (with the date and the version of the text you saw) and your app settings.
• Support messages: what you write to us by email.

Information collected automatically

• Identifiers: a random identifier the app creates on your device (our servers keep only a hashed form of it) and the account ID we assign.
• Device and app information: platform, app version, language and time zone.
• Technical and security data: IP address and request logs, used to run, secure and rate-limit the service. These logs don't contain your messages or birth details.
• Usage counts: how many chat messages you send each day and how much AI processing your account uses, so we can apply daily limits and control costs.

We don't collect your precise location, contacts, photos or advertising identifiers, and Hesper contains no third-party advertising or analytics tools.

2. How we use information

• To provide Hesper: calculate your natal chart, the daily sky, compatibility with the people you add and tarot readings, and keep your readings and conversations for you.
• To write AI content, only with your permission (section 3).
• For safety: messages are checked automatically for clear signs of a crisis, such as self-harm or abuse, so Hesper can answer with safety information instead of a reading. See our Safety page.
• To run, secure and improve the service: prevent abuse, apply daily limits, fix problems and review reports about AI replies.
• To help you when you contact us, and to comply with the law.

We don't use your information for advertising, and we don't make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you by automated means alone.

Where the law asks for a legal basis, we rely on performing our agreement with you (providing the app), your consent (AI processing, which you can withdraw at any time), our legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention and improving the service) and legal obligations.

3. AI processing

Hesper's readings and replies are written by an AI model. If you allow it in the app, each time Hesper writes something for you it sends our AI providers what that text needs: your name, birth details and chart; the people you add and their birth details; your chat messages and the recent conversation; your tarot questions and cards.

• DeepSeek runs the AI model. It is operated by a company in China.
• taluna (api.taluna.ai) is the API service that connects Hesper to DeepSeek.

Your information may be processed and stored in China and in other countries. Each provider handles it under its own terms and privacy policy, which may allow it to keep the data for a time and to use it to improve its services.

If you choose Not now, or turn AI off later in Me → Settings → AI readings and chat, nothing about you is sent to the AI providers. Hesper then shows pre-written texts for your chart, the daily sky and the tarot cards, and chat is unavailable. Content that is the same for everyone, such as the daily horoscope for each sign, is written by AI without any personal information.

AI content can be wrong. It is for entertainment and self-reflection, not professional advice.

4. Who receives information

• Service providers that run Hesper for us: Google Cloud (hosting, database and storage, in the United States) and, only with your permission, the AI providers in section 3.
• App stores: Apple and Google distribute the app and handle your download and any purchases under their own policies.
• Others, when required: authorities when the law requires it, to protect the rights, safety and property of our users, us or others, or a successor if LINKOVA is involved in a merger or acquisition (you will be told before your information becomes subject to a different policy).

We don't sell your personal information and we don't share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

5. Where information is processed

Our servers are in the United States. With your permission, AI processing takes place in China and other countries (section 3). Wherever your information is processed, we protect it as this policy describes.

6. How long we keep information

• We keep your account data while your account exists.
• When you delete your account in the app (Me → Settings → Delete account), we delete your profile, chart, people, conversations, readings, choices and reports straight away. Copies may remain in our encrypted backups for a limited time until they are overwritten. We keep daily totals of AI usage with no link to you.
• Server logs are kept for about 30 days.
• The AI providers keep data under their own policies (section 3).
• We keep support emails as long as we need them to help you and for our records.

7. Your choices and rights

• Turn AI on or off at any time in Me → Settings → AI readings and chat.
• Change your profile, and delete people, readings and conversations, in the app.
• Delete your account in the app. If you can no longer use the app, email us with your Account ID (shown in the app under Me → Settings → Contact support) or as much detail as you can, and we'll help.
• Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your information, to receive a copy of it, to object to or restrict some processing, and to withdraw consent. Email us to use these rights; we may need to confirm that the account is yours. We won't treat you differently for using them.
• California residents: you have the rights to know, delete and correct personal information and not to be discriminated against for using them. We don't sell or share personal information, and we use sensitive information only to provide the service you ask for.

8. Children

Hesper is only for people aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 is using Hesper, contact us and we'll delete the account.

9. Security

We protect information with encryption in transit, access controls and private storage. No system is perfectly secure; if you think you've found a problem, please tell us.

10. Changes to this policy

When this policy changes we'll update this page and the date above, and tell you in the app before an important change takes effect. If a change affects what is sent to AI providers, we'll ask for your permission again.
