Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how School of Ancient Geomantic Education (SAGE) ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you visit dotsofdestiny.com (the "Site").

1. Personal Data We Collect

When you use our services, we collect minimal personal information:

• Account Information: Your email address provided during signup via Firebase Authentication.
• Consultation Data: The questions and context you voluntarily provide when requesting geomantic readings.
• Transaction Records: Payment confirmation data from Razorpay (transaction ID, amount, timestamp) to manage your token balance.
• Geographic & Technical Identifiers: To protect your privacy, we do not store your raw IP address in our permanent logs. Instead, we use your IP address temporarily to determine your approximate Geographic Region (Country and State/Province) for service analytics. To prevent abuse and enforce registration limits, we store only a secure, one-way Cryptographic Hash of your IP address. This ensures platform security without persisting your actual network location.

What We Do NOT Collect: We do not require or store your name, birth details (date/time/location), phone number, physical address, or sensitive personal identifiers beyond your email.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use your data only for lawful purposes:

• To generate your personalized geomantic reports using our AI engine.
• To manage your token balance and account security.
• To send you service-related communications and updates.
• To comply with legal obligations, such as tax record-keeping and regulatory requirements.

4. Data Retention & Your Rights

SAGE prioritizes your privacy through a 'Purpose-Limited' data policy. Your readings are processed via secure API tunnels and are never used to train global AI models. To ensure quality and resolve any disputes, we securely retain encrypted records of interactions for 30 days, after which they are automatically erased in compliance with the DPDP Act 2023.

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act) 2023, you have the following rights:

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Right to Correction: You can request that we correct any inaccurate personal data.
• Right to Erasure: You can request that we delete your personal and consultation data from our servers.
• Right to Grievance Redressal: You may raise concerns about our data handling practices.

Data Retention: We keep your data only as long as necessary to provide services or as required by law (typically 3-5 years for financial records).

5. Security Safeguards

We implement industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) and security measures to protect your digital personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. All data is stored on secure cloud infrastructure with regular backups.

6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyze site usage, and authenticate your session. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

7. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share data only in the following circumstances:

• With service providers who assist us in operating the platform (e.g., Firebase for authentication, hosting providers).
• When required by law or to comply with legal processes.
• To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users.
