How we handle your reading data

Ming Clarity provides Chinese-metaphysics readings and a personal decision compass for reflection and personal direction. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, who helps us process it, and how you can ask us to access, correct, or delete it.

Who controls the data

The Ming Clarity operator is the data controller for information submitted through the website, mobile APIs, and iOS app. For privacy questions or data requests, contact info@finnexion.com.

What we collect

• Birth details you enter: date, local time or unknown-time choice, city, and gender selection.
• Optional precise birthplace location if you tap the app's current-location button. It is used to refine true-solar-time chart correction and is not background location tracking.
• Your app language, selected focus area, and onboarding profile choices.
• Your email address when you request a free preview, paid report, or email delivery.
• Your selected reading focus and optional personal question if you choose to provide one.
• Generated reading data: BaZi chart, Zi Wei Dou Shu summary, I Ching cast, free preview, and paid report.
• Payment status, Stripe Checkout session identifiers for web purchases, and StoreKit transaction metadata such as product ID and original transaction ID for iOS purchases. We do not receive or store full card numbers.
• Local notification preference status when the iOS app asks to schedule a daily prompt.
• Basic technical data needed for security, rate limiting, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention.

How we use it

• To calculate your BaZi, Zi Wei Dou Shu, and I Ching context.
• To generate and display your free preview or paid report.
• To process payment through Stripe and fulfill the report after successful checkout.
• To process iOS in-app purchases, restore purchases, and reconnect purchased reports.
• To email your paid report through Resend when email delivery is configured.
• To schedule an optional local daily prompt notification on your device.
• To protect the service from spam, automated abuse, and repeated failed requests.
• To improve the product using aggregated, non-identifying observations where possible.

Legal bases

We process birth details, email, questions, and report data to provide the reading you request or purchase. We process optional precise location only when you choose to provide it in the app. We process payment and transaction records to fulfill purchases, restore access, and meet basic accounting obligations. We process limited technical data for legitimate interests such as security, debugging, and fraud prevention. Local notifications and optional marketing features should use consent or another appropriate legal basis where required.

Service providers

We use carefully chosen processors to run the product:

• Stripe for hosted checkout, payment processing, receipts, and refund handling.
• Apple for App Store in-app purchases, StoreKit transactions, purchase restoration, and App Store refund handling.
• Resend for transactional email delivery.
• Report-generation infrastructure used to prepare the written interpretation from calculated chart context.
• Upstash Redis when configured for durable report storage, lead capture, and rate limiting.
• Hosting and infrastructure providers used to serve the website and APIs.

These providers can process data in countries outside your own. Where required, production deployment should rely on provider data-processing terms and transfer safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Retention

• Free preview leads are kept only as long as needed for follow-up and product validation.
• Cached mobile profile data may be stored on your device so the app can open quickly and refresh in the background.
• Paid reports are cached so the return page and payment confirmation flow do not generate duplicate reports.
• Payment, StoreKit entitlement, and refund records may be kept as long as needed for tax, accounting, dispute, restoration, and fraud-prevention obligations.
• You can request deletion of reading data unless we need to keep limited records for legal, accounting, or dispute reasons.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a portable copy of your personal data. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority. To exercise a right, email info@finnexion.com.

Cookies and analytics

The current service does not require advertising cookies. If analytics are enabled, they should be configured for product measurement and privacy review before public launch. If remarketing or tracking pixels are added later, this policy and the consent flow should be updated before launch.

Important limits

Readings are for reflection and self-discovery. They are not medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice, and they do not predict fate with certainty.
