| Birth date | Zodiac sign calculation | Browser session only | Tab close/refresh |

4. How we process your data
Stateless Processing
When you generate a fortune, your data is sent to a serverless function, which instantly returns your result.Nothing is logged or saved in the process.
Data Flow
1. You enter information → Stored in browser session
2. You request fortune → Data sent to our AI processing function
3. AI generates response → Returned to your browser
4. You close tab/refresh → All data automatically deleted
5. Third-party processing
To provide AI-generated fortunes, we use external services that temporarily process your data:
AI Processing
Your session data and responses are sent to Google's Gemini API (US-based) to generate personalized fortunes. Google processes this data according to their own privacy policy but does not store it for training purposes when accessed through our API integration.
Hosting & Infrastructure
Our application is hosted on Vercel (US-based) using edge functions for global performance. No personal data is stored on Vercel servers - only the application code and temporary request processing.
6. Cookies and Future Advertising
We currently use only **essential technical cookies** necessary for the website to function. We do **NOT** use any analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies today. However, we may introduce advertising in the future (e.g., via Google AdSense) to support the service. **If we do, any advertising cookies will only be set after you provide explicit consent through a dedicated consent banner.** You can find more detailed information about our cookie usage in our Cookie Policy.
7. Data security and session management
All communication is encrypted using HTTPS. Your session data lives in your browser only and is wiped when you refresh, close the tab, or clear storage. Our infrastructure is stateless — meaning no information is remembered or retained between requests.
8. Age recommendations
While your-fortune is suitable for all ages, we recommend that users under 13 use the Service under parental guidance. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children, and all data processing is temporary and session-based regardless of user age.
9. International data processing
Your data may be temporarily processed by our third-party services (OpenAI, Vercel) which operate globally, including in the United States. Since no data is permanently stored, there are no lasting international transfers or data residency concerns.
10. Your control and rights
- • Delete your data: Just close the tab or refresh
- • Start fresh: Clear browser sessionStorage
- • Ask anything: Contact us at any time with concerns
- • Data portability: Since no data is stored, there's nothing to export
11. AI-generated content disclaimer
All fortunes are generated by artificial intelligence for entertainment, reflection, and personal insight — not as professional advice. Please use discretion and common sense when interpreting any AI-generated content.
12. Updates to this policy
We'll update this policy if anything changes. You can always find the latest version on this page. Continued use of your-fortune means you accept the most recent version.
