I Ching: Oracle Journal Privacy Policy

Regular journal entries, questions, hexagrams, moving lines, notes, tags, favorites, review content, reminders, and app preferences are saved on your device by default and are not uploaded automatically. They remain until you delete them, clear the related records, or uninstall the app. Copies in device backups are managed by your Apple device and backup settings.

For a one-time or subscription Smart Reading, follow-up questions, or subscription management, we process the account identifier and email or private relay address Apple provides; the current question, hexagram, moving line, record date, language, and result; and purchase and delivery details such as product, transaction identifier, purchase date, task status, and necessary error records. Payment is handled by the App Store. We do not receive your card number or full payment details. We also process follow-up questions, subscription status, your device’s time zone, and necessary usage records to verify access and calculate the daily allowance and reset in your local time.

This information is used only to authenticate and protect the Smart Reading account, verify purchases, prevent duplicate charging or delivery, create and save the purchased reading, continue processing after you leave the app, retrieve results on another Apple device, and handle retries, deletion, security, and necessary customer support. It is not used for advertising, cross-app tracking, or sale.

Trusted services support Sign in with Apple, purchase verification, storage of purchased content, Smart Reading generation, and—only when needed—checking current public information. Each service receives only what is needed for its role. Your Apple email is not sent to generation or search services. Do not include unnecessary passwords, government identifiers, full financial details, medical records, legal documents, or another person’s sensitive information.

Cloud questions, tasks, and Smart Readings remain until you delete a reading or the Smart Reading account in Settings > Purchased Smart Readings. Account deletion requires fresh confirmation through Apple and removes the account’s cloud content; ordinary local journal entries remain by default. Minimal de-identified purchase and usage records may remain for reconciliation, preventing duplicate processing or allowance claims, and necessary legal obligations. Signing in again after deletion creates a new iOS Smart Reading account and does not restore previous readings.

Sharing uses the iOS share sheet, and you choose the content and destination. Journal reminders are local device notifications and do not send your question to our servers. If you send support email, your email service handles the address and message; do not send sensitive records or passwords. Support email: yldigital.support@gmail.com.

You can delete local records, individual Smart Readings, or the entire Smart Reading account in the app. For other access, correction, deletion, or restriction requests, contact yldigital.support@gmail.com; identity verification may be required to protect the account. This policy will be updated if features or data practices materially change.
