Privacy notice

Voluntary reader feedback

The optional reader form asks adults for views on clarity, willingness to read another page and an optional comment about the page. It does not ask for a name, email, religion, health information or private notebook writing. Feedback is kept in the private studio for product improvement, separately from purchases, and is not published or added to email subscriptions. We store the page, language, response time and, only when site measurement is allowed, approved campaign labels. A necessary browser cookie lets you recognise and delete your own response on that page; clearing browser data removes this access. Feedback is removed after 90 days by the regular cleanup job, or sooner when you delete it. Salted daily IP counters prevent abuse; raw IP addresses are not kept in these counters, which expire after two days and are cleared during cleanup. Hosting providers may maintain separate security logs. Contact yuanqitmas@gmail.com for questions or requests.

Your seven-day collection and journal

When you buy Seven Days of Beginning, we store the purchase, the terms and content edition supplied, your chapter moments and any journal notes you choose to save. Notes are private to the original purchasing browser and the verified account to which you explicitly save the collection. They are not included in public share cards or used for advertising. Saving to email does not subscribe you to marketing. Download and print copies may contain your private notes; keep those copies secure. You can edit or clear a note from your collection, or request an export or deletion at /rights. Necessary payment records may be retained as explained below.

Information you provide

A reading records your chosen country or region, place, time zone, weather, temperature, mood, mood intensity, cultural approach and submission time. We store these inputs with the artwork, interpretation and a guest or account identifier so that the requested reading can be delivered and retrieved.

Email sign-in stores your email, verification status and protected authentication records. Membership preferences include language, mood and your separate email-reminder choice. Enquiries include your email, message, reference and handling status. Please do not submit medical records, identity documents, payment credentials or another person's private information.

A delivery quote requests country, city, postal code and preferred colour. After purchase, a tea consultation requests birth month and year, preferred colour and delivery country or city; gender, occupation and a note are optional. Detailed shipping information is arranged separately when needed. We do not need a child's information for this benefit.

Why we use it

We use necessary information to provide readings, authenticate accounts, deliver purchases, manage renewals and allowances, answer enquiries and arrange agreed tea-set fulfilment. Where the GDPR applies, these activities rely on the requested contract or steps before a contract, as appropriate. Security and abuse prevention rely on our legitimate interests where that basis is available; required statutory records rely on applicable legal obligations.

Optional cultural email reminders use your separate opt-in, not your payment or sign-in alone. Mood and cultural selections guide creative material; they are not medical assessments or evidence of religious belief. We do not use them for credit, employment or personalised pricing decisions.

Optional three-note email series

After email verification and a separate opt-in, we store your address, language, consent version and time, delivery status, and limited campaign labels if measurement is enabled. We send three reading notes over five days, including one optional product invitation. Every note has a no-sign-in unsubscribe link. We do not use your mood, journal or inferred beliefs for this series and do not add you to another series automatically. Resend processes these emails as described below. Series subscription and message records are deleted during scheduled processing after 90 days; separate sign-in and purchase records follow their own retention rules. You can also request deletion through /rights.

Cookie-free operational measurement

We count allowlisted page loads, sample views, self-reported practice attempts, checkout errors, and Workshop preview-link opens, prepared inquiry drafts and email-app handoffs. Workshop email handoffs do not show whether an email was sent; no form text or email address is included in these events. Each event has a random deduplication reference held only in the current page, not a persistent visitor ID. We store a public page name and limited campaign labels, never the full URL, IP address, mood, journal text or account email in this event table. These counts are not unique people and can include unrecognised automation. Events are retained for up to 90 days and removed during subsequent measurement activity.

Where measurement is enabled, limited source and campaign labels can accompany internal navigation and be associated with a checkout reference. Campaign labels are cleared after 90 days during cleanup; necessary payment and internal-test records remain separate. Financial reports use verified payment records, not browser events. Turn off site measurement in the footer; we also respect Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Only this on/off preference is saved on your device. Essential security rate limits and payment accounting continue.

Device, location and security

The application receives network information, including an IP address, to deliver requests and limit abuse. Its abuse counters use hashed identifiers; hosting providers may also process security and service logs. Optional device coordinates are used only in your browser for daylight calculations and are not sent to the studio. Your manually selected place is different: it is saved with a reading. See Cookies & Storage for login, guest-session and language settings.

Service providers and overseas processing

OpenAI Sites and its Cloudflare infrastructure provide hosting and storage. Resend handles email addresses, message contents and delivery information; its published documentation states that customer email data is stored in the United States. PayPal handles payments under its own privacy terms. We retain payment references, status, entitlement records and a hashed payer identifier for allowance checks, rather than collecting card numbers or PayPal passwords. Customer correspondence sent to our Gmail address is also processed by Google.

These services can involve processing outside your country. We have not verified every hosting location or provider retention setting and do not promise local-only storage. Ask us about the applicable recipients and transfer arrangements. This notice does not replace any separate consent, assessment or transfer safeguard required by law. Any maker or carrier receiving necessary delivery details must be identified when arrangements are made.

Your sharing choices

Local downloads do not publish a reading. Creating a public share link makes the artwork and first quotation accessible to anyone holding that link; it excludes your place, mood and paid explanation. You can revoke the website link. Copies already downloaded, forwarded or posted elsewhere may remain. Social apps receive material only when you choose to share or open their service.

How long information remains

Sign-in codes expire after 10 minutes and account or guest cookies normally last 30 days. These limits do not delete reading or transaction records. Expired authentication records are cleaned in batches during later requests. Other records remain subject to review for delivery, account access, unresolved support, disputes and applicable recordkeeping requirements. There is no automatic deletion deadline for all customer records; contact us for a retention explanation or deletion request.

Choices, rights and children

Use yuanqitmas@gmail.com to request access, correction, deletion or a portable copy, or to object, restrict processing or withdraw consent where applicable. We may verify your connection to the records and explain lawful retention exceptions. We respond within applicable legal deadlines; you may also complain to your competent data-protection authority.

Turn off cultural reminders in member preferences or use the unsubscribe link in a reminder email without signing in. This does not cancel membership or stop requested login messages. The service is for adults aged 18 or over. Report a child's submitted information to the same contact so we can investigate and handle removal appropriately.
