Privacy & Data

What this page covers

This notice applies to the public tools and content on chinesezodiac.guide, along with the contact form and any account, subscription, or payment features you actively choose to use.

We try to keep data collection narrow and tied to the actual operation of this zodiac reference site.

Public tools and local processing

For the public zodiac calculator, compatibility tools, and most content pages, the main calculations are designed to happen in the browser first.

• If you only enter a birth date to check a zodiac result on a public page, that input is not automatically written to our database just because you used the tool.
• We do not build advertising profiles around your zodiac lookups or sell public tool inputs to third parties.
• If a future feature needs to save input data, that feature should say so clearly at the point of use.

Information you actively send us

• Contact and feedback: name, email address, and message content you choose to send
• Optional account features: email, display name, avatar, and login-related account information
• Newsletter or update subscriptions: your email address
• Payments: the minimum order, subscription, and transaction information needed to process a purchase

Operational and analytics data

• To keep the site running and protect it from abuse, systems may process IP addresses, request timing, request metadata, and security logs.
• Analytics tools help us understand traffic, device mix, referral sources, and which zodiac pages deserve more editorial work.
• We use this data for product decisions, performance, and abuse prevention rather than cross-site advertising.

Why we use this information

• To run zodiac, element, compatibility, horoscope, and BaZi features
• To answer feedback, corrections, and support requests
• To maintain account, subscription, and payment features you choose to use
• To improve content quality, page structure, and tool reliability
• To detect abuse, suspicious traffic, and security issues

Feature-based service support

Some features may involve outside services that help with login, email delivery, payments, or site operations. Information only enters those flows when the related feature is actually used.

• External sign-in only if you choose a social login option
• Email delivery only when you send a message, subscribe, or need a confirmation email
• Payment and order handling only when you enter a paid flow
• Hosting and security support to keep the site available and reduce abuse

Your choices

• To request access, correction, or deletion of data you submitted directly, contact support@chinesezodiac.guide.
• You can unsubscribe from email updates at any time.
• You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings.

Some records may need to be retained for security, anti-abuse, legal, or payment-history reasons even after a deletion request.
