Privacy Policy
Who We Are
ByLevisWay is an astrology and personal insight platform operated by Natalia Levis, based in Ireland. The website is accessible at bylevisway.com.
We are the data controller for the personal information you provide when using our website, free tools, and paid products. This policy explains what data we collect, why, how we use it, and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Irish data protection law.
We keep things simple: we collect only what is necessary to deliver your reading or product. We do not sell your data. We do not use advertising cookies.
Data We Collect
Depending on how you use ByLevisWay, we may collect the following information:
- Date of birth — required for all astrological calculations (natal chart, avatar code, lunar day, soul code, etc.)
- Time of birth — optional, used to improve the accuracy of the natal chart and moon sign
- City of birth — used to determine your timezone for precise astronomical calculations
- Name or first name — optional, used to personalise your report
- Email address — collected at checkout when you purchase a paid product or PDF report
- Delivery address — collected only when you order a physical product (crystal talisman); shipped from Ireland
- Technical data — browser type, approximate location (country), and pages visited, collected automatically for website security and analytics
We do not collect sensitive special-category data such as health information, political opinions, or biometric data.
Why We Collect It — Legal Basis
We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis under GDPR Article 6:
- Performance of a contract — to generate and deliver the astrological reading or PDF you requested, and to process and ship physical orders
- Legitimate interests — to maintain the security and functionality of the website, and to improve our services
- Consent — if you subscribe to email updates or a newsletter, we rely on your explicit opt-in consent, which you can withdraw at any time
We do not use your data for automated profiling or automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Third-Party Services
To deliver our platform, we work with the following trusted third parties. Each acts as a data processor under a data processing agreement, or as an independent controller for their own services:
| Service | Purpose | Data Shared | Privacy Policy |

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any third party for marketing purposes.
Cookies & Tracking
ByLevisWay uses only essential technical cookies necessary to make the website function correctly (for example, session state and security tokens). We do not use:
- Advertising or tracking cookies
- Third-party marketing pixels (Facebook, Google Ads, etc.)
- Cross-site behavioural tracking
If we add optional analytics in the future (e.g. privacy-friendly tools such as Plausible Analytics), we will update this policy and, where required by law, request your consent beforehand.
How Long We Keep Your Data
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected:
- Free tool inputs (date of birth, city) — processed in real time in your browser and not stored on our servers
- Purchase records — retained for 7 years to comply with Irish tax and accounting obligations (Revenue Commissioners requirement)
- Email communications — retained for up to 2 years after your last interaction, unless you request deletion sooner
- Delivery addresses — deleted within 90 days of confirmed delivery

International Data Transfers
