1. Introduction
At The Dao Path ("we," "our," or "us"), we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you access our website at destinybydao.com and use our BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny) calculator and contents.
2. Information We Collect
We deliberately limit the data we collect to ensure your privacy:
- Birth Data (Not Stored): When you use our free BaZi calculator, the birth date, time, and location you enter are processed locally in your browser to generate your chart. We do not save, store, or transmit your birth data to our servers.
- Email Information: If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter or request a full blueprint, we collect your email address.
- Usage Data: We may collect standard analytics data such as IP addresses, browser types, and interactions with the website to understand how visitors use our platform.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:
- To send you the requested deepening guides and newsletters about classical Zi Ping traditions.
- To analyze website traffic and improve our services.
- To comply with legal obligations.
4. Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We only share information with trusted third-party service providers (such as secure email delivery platforms) who assist us in operating our website, provided that they agree to keep your information confidential.
5. Data Retention & Security
Because we do not store your birth details, there is no personal astrological data to retain or secure. Your email address is retained only as long as you remain subscribed to our communications. We implement industry-standard encryption (TLS) to protect the transmission of any data you submit to us.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your data. You may unsubscribe from our communications at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link in our emails, at which point your email address will be removed from our active mailing lists.
7. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and hold certain core analytics information to maintain your session.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date above.
