Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

• Birth details you enter: date of birth, birth hour (or “unknown”), gender, and the name style you choose.
• Your results: the Saju reading, suggested names, and the seal and character images created for you.
• Account information: if you create an account, your email address and display name. If you sign in with Google, the basic profile Google shares (name and email). Passwords are handled by Firebase Authentication and are never visible to us.
• Order information: if you buy a physical seal, the recipient name, phone number, shipping address, items ordered, and the email used for your receipt. Payments are processed by PayPal; we never receive or store your card details.
• Community posts: anything you choose to post on the community board, together with your display name.
• Technical data: your IP address, used to apply the daily limit on free readings; a pseudonymous visitor ID made from your IP address with a secret key (the IP itself is not kept for statistics); and simple usage events such as shares and downloads.
• Anonymous name counts: when names are suggested, we add one to a monthly total for each given name, together with its hanja, the element it was chosen for, and the country your connection comes from (the IP address itself is not kept). These totals contain no birth details, account, email, or visitor ID and cannot be linked back to you. We publish them only as aggregates — on name pages and in monthly name rankings — and never show a number under 5.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create your reading, name suggestions, seal, and character, and to let you open your results again.
• To make, ship, and support physical seal orders, and to answer your messages.
• To prevent abuse of the free service through daily usage limits.
• To understand, in aggregate, how the site is used and improve it.
• To show advertising, as described in section 6.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Services That Process Data for Us

• Google Gemini API — your birth details and chosen style are sent to Gemini to generate the reading and name suggestions; character illustrations are also made with Gemini. Seal images are drawn on our own server.
• Google Firebase (Authentication and Firestore) — accounts and stored results, orders, and posts.
• Vercel — website hosting.
• PayPal — payment processing.
• Google Analytics and Google AdSense — usage measurement and advertising (see section 6).

Order details are shared only as needed to make and deliver your seal. These providers may process data on servers outside South Korea.

4. Data Retention

Your birth details and results are saved in our database, including when you use the site without an account, so that your results page keeps working and so we can count usage. They are deleted automatically one year after they were created, or right away when you ask us to delete them. If you delete your account on your profile page, your account and the results saved to it are deleted at once. Order and payment records are kept separately, only as long as needed for delivery, refunds, and accounting. Usage-limit records that contain your IP address are deleted within a few days.

5. Your Choices

• You can delete your account, together with the results saved to it, on your profile page.
• You can ask us to show, correct, or delete your data, including results created without an account, by emailing paraincome@gmail.com. Please include the email you used or the link to your results so we can find them.
• You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
• You can turn off personalized ads in Google Ads Settings.

6. Cookies and Advertising
