Privacy Policy

Effective: 15 November 2026

This policy explains how Dokkaebi Tarot (the 'service') handles your personal information, in line with Korea's Personal Information Protection Act and other applicable laws.

1. What we collect

• Reading details: date of birth, time of birth (optional), sex, place of birth, a name or nickname (optional) and a one-line note (optional). For compatibility readings, the same details for the other person — only enter them with that person's agreement.
• Generated automatically: your IP address (to limit daily use), your country (to choose language and affiliate links; not stored), a language cookie, and advertising cookies (Google and third parties).
• There are no accounts. We do not ask for your email or phone number; if you email us, we use your address only to reply.

2. Why we use it

• To create readings: calculating saju pillars and planetary positions and writing the AI reading
• To prevent abuse: limiting AI requests per IP address per day
• To fit the site to you: remembering your language and showing Coupang Partners links only in Korea
• To show ads: serving and measuring Google AdSense ads

3. How long we keep it

• Not stored on our servers: your birth details, name and note are not saved on our servers. They stay in your browser's session storage while you use the site and are cleared when you close the tab.
• Kept on your device: records of readings you opened (in a form that cannot identify you) and your cookie choice stay in this browser (localStorage) until you clear site data.
• Usage counters: our AI relay server (Cloudflare) keeps a per-IP daily request count for about 26 hours, then deletes it. It does not store the content of your request.
• Shared results (/r/ links): a share link contains only a short code for the result summary (such as the cards drawn), never your name or birth details. Nothing is stored on a server, so there is no retention period.
• AI provider: Anthropic automatically deletes AI request inputs and outputs within 30 days of receipt (longer only for usage-policy investigations or where the law requires).
• Deletion: electronic records are deleted automatically in a way that cannot be recovered.

4. Processors and international transfers

To provide the service we use the processors below, which are located outside Korea, so your information is transferred abroad (PIPA Article 28-8(1)(3)).

If you do not want your information transferred, you can use a nickname, leave the note empty or stop using the service. Without the transfer, AI readings cannot be provided.

5. Cookies

• lang (service cookie): remembers your language. Kept for 1 year.
• Advertising cookies (Google and third parties): used to serve and measure ads. You can turn off personalised ads at https://adssettings.google.com; in the EEA, UK and Switzerland you choose in the consent banner.
• You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings (your language may not be remembered).

6. Your rights and withdrawing consent

• You can ask to access, correct or delete your information, restrict processing or withdraw consent at any time.
• Most information never reaches our servers, so you can delete it yourself: close the tab to clear your inputs, or clear site data in your browser to remove device records and cookies.
• Where a consent banner is shown, you can change your ad-cookie choice any time under 'Cookie settings', or in Google's ad settings.
• For anything else, email [email protected] and we will act without delay. In the UK you can also complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk).

7. Security

All connections use HTTPS. Your inputs are not stored on our servers, the AI access key is kept only in the server's secret store, and daily request limits prevent abuse.

8. Children

The service is not intended for children under 14 (under 13 outside Korea).
