Privacy Policy

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]

This Privacy Policy explains how Akira Marketing LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use Birthcode (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Account information: your email address, collected and managed through our authentication provider, Clerk.
Reading inputs: the date of birth and optional name you enter to generate a reading. These are used to produce your reading and are processed in your browser.
Payment information: when you subscribe, payment is processed by Stripe. We receive limited details such as a card brand and the last four digits and your subscription status. We do not collect or store your full card number.
Technical data: standard information your browser sends (such as device and usage data) and cookies used for authentication and to operate the Service.

2. How We Use Information

To provide and operate the Service, including generating readings and unlocking paid content.
To create and secure your account and process your subscription and payments.
To respond to your requests and provide support.
To maintain, improve, and protect the Service and comply with legal obligations.

3. Service Providers

We share information with trusted providers only as needed to run the Service:

Clerk — authentication and account management.
Stripe — payment processing and subscription billing.

These providers process data under their own privacy and security terms. We do not sell your personal information.

4. Data Retention

We retain account and subscription information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service and meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. You may request deletion of your account as described below.

5. Your Choices & Rights

You may access, update, or delete your account information, or cancel your subscription, from your account settings. Depending on where you live (for example, California residents under the CCPA/CPRA), you may have additional rights to access, delete, or opt out of certain processing of your personal information. To make a request, contact us at support@birthcode.me.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for users 18 and older and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Security

We and our providers use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you of material changes.
