Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Five Elements Life Guide ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our BaZi calculator and related services.

2. Information We Collect

When you use our BaZi calculator, we collect the following information you voluntarily provide:

• Birth Information: Date of birth, time of birth (optional), and gender
• Email Address: If you create an account with email verification
• Saved Readings: Logged-in users may save generated readings and view their history
• Anonymous Research Data: We may store chart summaries, element counts, and reading summaries without your email
• Usage Data: How you interact with our website, including analytics and advertising signals when enabled

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Generate your personalized BaZi chart and reading
• Improve our services and user experience
• Save your reading history when you are logged in
• Study anonymous chart patterns and improve the interpretation system

4. Third-Party Services

5. Data Storage and Security

Free chart calculation runs in your browser. If you do not log in for a full reading, the basic chart can be viewed without creating an account.

Logged-in full readings are stored. When you request a full reading, we store your account email, birth information, chart, and generated result so you can view your history.

Research data is separated from account data. Anonymous research records do not include your email address and are used to study aggregate BaZi patterns.
