Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ReadMyPalms ("we", "us", or "our") operates the ReadMyPalms website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website. Please read this policy carefully. If you disagree with its terms, please discontinue use of the site.

3. How We Use Your Information

4. Cookies & Advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, preferences, and analytics. We also partner with Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services. Each collects data under its own privacy policy, and each is described below so you know what leaves this site and why.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics tells us how the site is used so we can improve it. When you visit, it sets cookies in your browser and collects your IP address (truncated before storage), approximate location derived from it, the pages you view and how long you stay, how you arrived here, and technical details of your device and browser such as screen size, operating system and language. It does not read your palm images, your readings, or anything you type.

This data is processed by Google LLC and may be transferred outside your country, including to the United States. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics cookies are set only where you have consented. You can opt out on any site using Google’s browser add-on, or by declining in our consent message.

Google AdSense

AdSense shows the adverts that keep this site free. Google and its advertising partners may set cookies or read device identifiers to select adverts, limit how often you see the same one, and measure whether adverts work. Where you have consented, adverts may be personalised using this data. Where you have not, you will see non-personalised adverts, which still require basic data such as your approximate location and device type in order to be delivered at all. You can review and change your choices at any time through our consent message, and manage Google’s own settings at My Ad Center.

AI providers

Readings are generated by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and Groq. When you request a palm or aura reading, the image you upload and the prompt describing it are sent to whichever provider handles that request. When you request a horoscope or other written reading, only the prompt is sent — no personal data from your account accompanies it. Each provider handles the request under its own terms, which govern whether submissions may be retained or used to improve their services; those terms differ between providers and between their paid and free tiers. If you would rather no image left this site, use the written readings rather than the palm or aura scanner.

Hosting and infrastructure

The site is served by Vercel and our application servers are hosted with Hetzner. Both process your IP address and request metadata as a technical necessity of delivering the site to you.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. Palm reading images are stored securely and used only for generating your reading. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Data portability

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@readmypalms.com.

8. Children's Privacy

ReadMyPalms is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us immediately.

9. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and JWT-based authentication. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
