We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We do not ask for health, financial, or other sensitive information.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
- On the reading and guide pages: your license key, first name, date of birth, and optionally your time and place of birth (we use the place only to find the time zone), and your answers to a 30-question personality quiz.
- In the Monthly Guide: your answers to two multiple-choice check-in questions at the end of each month. There is no free-text box.
- Messages you send us by email.
Information from Gumroad when you pay Payments are processed by Gumroad, which is the merchant of record for sales on its platform. Gumroad collects your name, email address, and payment details directly. We never see your full card number. When you open your reading or guide, our site checks your license key with Gumroad and receives the purchase details it needs (such as country of purchase, order ID, and whether the purchase was refunded or the membership is active). Gumroad's own privacy policy applies to what it collects: https://gumroad.com/privacy.
Information collected automatically
- Our website runs on Cloudflare. To deliver and protect the site, Cloudflare processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type. We use the country that Cloudflare detects only to decide which writing service may be used for your order (section 4). We do not keep our own access logs.
- Analytics: We do not use third-party analytics. Cookies: We use only cookies that are strictly necessary for the site to work. The site remembers your language choice, and your license key for the current visit, in your own browser.
- No content from other companies. Our pages load nothing from outside our own site — no fonts, scripts, maps, videos or share buttons from other companies — so simply visiting us does not tell anyone else that you were here.
3. How we use your information
| Purpose | Information used | Legal basis (UK users) |
|---|---|---|
| Making and showing your reading and Monthly Guide | Birth details, quiz answers, check-in answers, purchase details | Performing our contract with you |
| Checking that a purchase is valid, not refunded, and (for the Monthly Guide) active | License key, purchase details from Gumroad | Performing our contract; legitimate interests (preventing misuse) |
| Answering your emails, fixing mistakes, refunds, privacy requests | Your messages, purchase details | Contract; legal obligations; legitimate interests |
| Counting how many readings and guides are made (totals only, no names) | Stored records | Legitimate interests (running the service) |
| Keeping the site secure | Technical data (processed by Cloudflare) | Legitimate interests |
About AI and automated processing. Your chart is calculated by fixed rules from your birth details, and the text of your reading and guides is written with the help of AI. This is for reflection and entertainment. It does not make decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.
4. Who we share information with
| Service provider | What they receive | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google (Gemini API) | Only the chart facts we calculate (for example, the five elements and signs in your chart, your inner star and birth number), your five quiz scores, and your check-in choices. Never your name, email, date, time or place of birth, or license key. | Writing your reading and guides | United States and other places where Google operates |
| OpenAI (ChatGPT) — only when our automatic writing cannot finish, and a person writes your reading instead | The same chart facts and scores as above, never your name, email, birth details or license key. Our staff paste them in and check the result. | Writing your reading and guides | United States |
| Gumroad | Payment and order information (collected by Gumroad directly) | Payments, tax, memberships, refunds, receipts | United States |
| Cloudflare | Technical data; your stored readings and guides (Cloudflare Workers KV) | Hosting the site and storing your readings | United States and Cloudflare's global network |
| Google (Gmail) | Emails you send us and our replies | Answering you | United States |
How the AI services use data. We use Google's Gemini API as a Paid Service, through a Cloud project with an active billing account. Under Google's terms for Paid Services, Google does not use your prompts or the responses to improve its products. Google logs prompts and responses for a limited period, only to detect and prevent abuse of the service.
Even so, we send the AI as little as possible: only the calculated chart facts and your quiz scores, never your name, contact details, birth date, time or place, or license key.
If our automatic writing cannot finish a reading, a member of our staff writes it instead and may use OpenAI's ChatGPT to help, under the same rule: it receives only the chart facts and scores, never your name, contact details, birth details or license key. OpenAI's handling of that content is described in OpenAI's own policies.
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business transfer (in which case this policy will continue to apply or you will be told).
5. International transfers
We are based in Japan, and our service providers are mainly in the United States. Your information will therefore be processed outside your country.
- Users in the UK, the EU, the EEA and Switzerland: we do not currently offer our paid services in these places. If you buy from there anyway, your information is transferred to the providers above, and we rely on the safeguards they offer in their data protection terms (such as standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension, where the provider is certified). You can ask us for details.
- Users in Canada: Your information may be processed in Japan and the United States and may be accessible to courts, law enforcement, and national security authorities there.
- Users in Australia: Your information may be disclosed to recipients in Japan and the United States.
- Under Japanese law: the recipients listed above are in the United States. Information about the data protection system of the United States is published by Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission (ppc.go.jp). We will tell you about the measures each recipient takes on request.
6. How long we keep information
- Free character finder: nothing is sent to us.
- Readings and Monthly Guide records: deleted automatically 24 months after they were last updated, or within 30 days after you ask us to delete them.
- Emails: up to 24 months after our last reply.
- Purchase and tax records: Gumroad keeps its own records. We keep our accounting records, including the purchase records we receive from Gumroad, for 7 years (10 years where Japanese tax law requires it).
- Records of your agreement to automatic renewal: kept with our purchase records above, which is longer than California law requires (at least 3 years, or 1 year after your membership ends).
7. Your choices and rights
You can, at any time, ask us to delete your reading and guides, see a copy of what we hold, or correct your birth details. Email sixtyspirits@gmail.com with the subject "Privacy request". To find your records we need your license key (from your Gumroad receipt). To delete what Gumroad holds, contact Gumroad as well.
We will respond within 30 days (or the shorter period required by your local law). We will not charge you or treat you differently for exercising your rights. We do not send marketing emails.
California residents. California law gives you the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, the right to limit use of sensitive personal information, and the right not to be discriminated against for using these rights. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you. (We offer these rights to all users, whether or not the CCPA applies to us.) You may use an authorised agent to make a request.
United Kingdom residents. You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. You have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests. You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO): ico.org.uk, telephone 0303 123 1113. We do not currently offer our paid services in the UK, so we have not appointed a UK representative.
Canada residents. You may access and correct your personal information and withdraw consent (subject to legal or contractual restrictions). You may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada: priv.gc.ca.
Australia residents. You may access and correct your personal information. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC): oaic.gov.au.
8. Security
The site uses encryption in transit (HTTPS). We store your license key only in scrambled (hashed) form, keep only what we need, and limit access to the staff who prepare readings. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we will notify you and the relevant authorities of a data breach where the law requires.
9. Age limit
Sixty Spirits is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has given us information, contact sixtyspirits@gmail.com and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
If we make important changes, we will update the date above and show a notice on the site before the change takes effect.
