THE REGISTER
A PRIVATE CONVERSATION

Your story stays with you.

This policy explains what The Register collects, why we use it, when it leaves your device, and the choices available to you.

Effective and last updated: October 17, 2026

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to The Register (the “Service”), including our website, Saju readings, character conversations, accounts, purchases, saved books, and public keepsakes. “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to the operator of The Register.

2. Information we collect

Information you provide

  • Reading details: an optional name, birth date, birth time or “unknown” selection, birth city, time zone, and the questions or focus you choose.
  • Reading activity: chart symbols, generated or selected reading text, conversation history, corrections, bookmarks, notes, and reading progress.
  • Account details: your account identifier and email address when you sign in through Google or email.
  • Public keepsakes: the title and quote you choose to publish.
  • Support messages: the information you include when you contact us.

Purchases

Stripe processes your payment details and receipt email. We receive transaction identifiers, the item purchased, price, currency, payment status, and the account identifier used to restore access. We do not receive or store your full card number.

Information collected automatically

The Service and its hosting providers may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, timestamps, and security or error logs. Our internal operations dashboard and Google Analytics receive page views and selected journey events by default, such as entering the teahouse, completing an input step, opening a reading, beginning checkout, and completing a purchase. You can turn analytics off at any time. We do not include your name, birth details, birthplace, questions, notes, corrections, or conversation text in these analytics events. Our internal analytics use a separate anonymous browser cookie and a visit session identifier; they do not link your journey to your reading account.

When Meta advertising measurement is enabled, the Meta (Facebook) pixel and its Conversions API receive page views, first-answer views, checkout starts and purchases, together with the browser identifiers Meta sets and, for a purchase, your connection’s IP address and browser type; they never receive your name, birth details, questions, notes or any reading text, and “Analytics choices” turns this off.

When you begin entering birth details, ipapi.is receives your IP address to suggest a city and time zone. We do not send it your name or birth details, and we do not store the location lookup response on our server.

We use browser local storage to keep reading progress, notes, preferences, an anonymous reading reference, and—when you sign in—session information. A secure, HttpOnly visitor cookie controls access to anonymous saved books and is renewed for up to 400 days during normal use. A separate HttpOnly analytics cookie also lasts up to 400 days, and visit sessions restart after 30 minutes of inactivity. Turning analytics off clears that analytics cookie and stops future journey collection. After you sign in and save or claim a book, access is tied to your account. This is not advertising tracking.

3. How we use information

We use information to:

  • calculate and display your chart and reading;
  • respond to your questions and preserve the context and corrections you choose to keep;
  • save and restore readings, purchases, and public keepsakes;
  • process payments, refunds, disputes, and customer support;
  • operate, secure, debug, and improve the Service; and
  • comply with law and protect the rights and safety of users, the Service, and others.

4. When information is disclosed

We disclose information only as needed for the purposes above:

  • Fireworks AI receives your question, limited recent conversation, chart symbols, selected reading context, and corrections to produce a reply. Your name and birth location are not sent as separate fields.
  • Supabase provides Google and email sign-in. Our hosting database saves each reading automatically with your account identifier or a private browser session.
  • Stripe processes checkout, receipts, refunds, and disputes. We send the selected product and the account identifier needed to restore access—not your birth details, chart, questions, or notes.
  • ipapi.is receives your IP address for the optional city and time-zone suggestion.
  • Google Fonts and hosting providers deliver the Service and may receive ordinary request and device information.
  • Meta (Facebook) receives page views, first-answer views, checkout starts and purchases through its pixel and Conversions API when advertising measurement is enabled, unless you turn analytics off. It never receives your name, birth details, questions, notes or reading text.
  • Google Analytics receives limited usage and commerce events, campaign parameters, and advertising click identifiers unless you turn analytics off. When you arrive from a Google ad, Google keeps that ad’s click identifier so it can measure which ad led to a checkout or purchase; it never receives your name, birth details or reading text, and ads are not personalized from it. Google signals are disabled, and payment and sign-in query values, private book IDs, and shared-book tokens are redacted.
  • Authorities or other parties may receive information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate abuse, or complete a merger, financing, sale, or transfer of the Service.

We do not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. Shared books and public keepsakes

Personal book URLs require the original browser session or the owning account. You may create a separate read-only shared copy, available to anyone with its link without automatic expiration, and revoke it from the book’s Share menu. Shared copies omit your name field, exact birth inputs, question field, and private notes. Answers may still contain personal details. Deleting the saved reading withdraws its shared links. Screenshots or copies made by a recipient cannot be withdrawn.

A keepsake is private unless you deliberately create a public link. A public keepsake includes only the title and quote you approve and can be viewed by anyone with the link. You can remove its public link from My account. Search engines are asked not to index keepsakes, but we cannot control copies, screenshots, or links shared by other people.

6. How long information is kept

Information stored only in your browser remains until you clear it, clear browser data, or the browser removes it. Clearing browser data does not delete account data, public keepsakes, or transaction records held on our systems or by service providers.

Server-saved readings, including anonymous readings, remain until deleted; cookie expiry by itself does not delete the saved content. Readings and public keepsakes are kept until you remove them or ask us to delete them, subject to technical and legal exceptions. Purchase, refund, dispute, security, and support records may be kept as long as reasonably necessary for accounting, fraud prevention, legal compliance, and resolving disputes. Service providers may retain information under their own policies and legal obligations.

7. Your choices

  • Use “Clear my reading from this device” in the in-app Privacy panel, or clear the site’s browser data, to remove the local reading.
  • Delete a saved reading and its shared links from My library. This does not refund a payment or delete transaction records.
  • Choose not to sign in; anonymous saved books remain accessible only through the original browser session.
  • Sign out to end the account session on a device.
  • Remove a public keepsake link from My account.
  • Turn internal journey analytics and Google Analytics collection off or back on from “Analytics choices” in the in-app Privacy panel.
  • Avoid including sensitive personal details in free-text questions, notes, or public keepsakes.

8. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information; receive a portable copy; object to or restrict certain processing; or appeal a decision. You may also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising a privacy right.

To make a request, email support@sizhu.ai. Describe your request and the email address or transaction reference connected to your data. We may need to verify your identity before completing it. An authorized agent may submit a request where local law permits. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

Because we do not sell personal information or use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, there is no sale or advertising share to opt out of. You may contact us if you believe this statement does not match your experience.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. No online service can guarantee absolute security. Use a secure email account and do not submit information you would not want processed as described in this policy.

10. International use

The Register and its service providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Those countries may have different data-protection rules. Where required, we use appropriate measures for international transfers.

11. Children

The Service is intended for adults age 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Service changes. We will post the revised date here and provide additional notice when a change is material and the law requires it.

13. Contact

For privacy questions or requests, contact support@sizhu.ai.

14. 태어난 도시 (한국어)

서양 점성·베딕 점성·자미두수 풀이는 태어난 시각을 그 도시의 시간대로 세기 위해 태어난 도시를 묻습니다. 풀이 기록에는 목록에서 고른 도시의 번호와 이름만 저장하고, 좌표와 시간대는 서버가 그 번호로 다시 찾습니다. 기기의 위치 정보(GPS)는 받지 않습니다. 도시를 모르면 나라만 고를 수 있고, 그때는 그 나라의 수도로 셉니다. 태어난 도시는 다른 출생 정보와 같은 기간 보관하고, 풀이를 지우면 함께 지워집니다.

태어난 도시를 묻는 풀이(서양 점성·베딕 점성·자미두수)의 도시 목록은 GeoNames(geonames.org)의 도시 자료(cities15000, 다른 이름 목록)를 줄여 만든 것입니다. GeoNames 자료는 크리에이티브 커먼즈 저작자표시 4.0 국제 라이선스(CC BY 4.0)를 따르며, 우리는 인구와 수도를 기준으로 도시를 고르고 이름·좌표·시간대만 남겼습니다. 목록은 사이트 안에 있어, 도시를 찾을 때 바깥 서비스에 요청하지 않습니다.

15. 얼굴 사진 (한국어)

얼굴 사진(허부의 얼굴 첩)

허부의 얼굴 첩은 이용자가 직접 올린 얼굴 사진 한 장으로 얼굴의 생김을 읽습니다. 사진을 올리기 전에 동의 상자에 직접 체크한 경우에만 사진을 받습니다.

사진은 이용자의 기기에서 긴 변 1024픽셀 이하로 줄이고 촬영 위치·시각·기기 정보(EXIF)를 지운 뒤 전송합니다. 서버는 사진을 메모리에서만 다루며, 풀이 모델(Anthropic, PBC, 미국)에 한 번 보내 이마·눈썹·눈·코·입·턱·귀·얼굴형·기색을 정해진 목록에서 고르게 한 뒤 즉시 버립니다. 사진과 그 사본은 서버·데이터베이스·로그·오류 기록·분석 도구 어디에도 저장하지 않습니다.

남는 것은 목록에서 고른 특징 글(예: 「이마: 넓고 시원한 이마」)뿐이며, 결과책과 대화는 이 글만 사용합니다. 특징 글은 풀이 기록과 같은 기간 보관하고, 풀이를 지우면 함께 지워집니다.

사진으로 사람을 알아보거나(신원 확인·얼굴 인식), 나이·인종·피부색·건강·외모를 판단하지 않습니다. 사진에 얼굴이 둘 이상이거나 아이·청소년으로 보이면 읽지 않으며, 만 19세 미만 이용자에게는 사진을 요청하지 않습니다.

사진 없이 부위를 직접 고르거나 사진 없이 풀이를 받을 수 있으며, 사진을 올리지 않아도 이용에 제한이 없습니다.

국외 이전: 이전받는 자 Anthropic, PBC(미국) / 이전 항목 얼굴 사진 1장(줄인 JPEG) / 이전 시기·방법 사진을 올린 때 암호화된 통신(HTTPS)으로 1회 / 목적 얼굴 생김의 분류 / 보유 기간 당사는 보관하지 않으며, Anthropic은 자사 API 데이터 정책에 따라 처리합니다. 국외 이전을 원하지 않으면 사진 대신 부위를 직접 고르실 수 있습니다.
