Privacy Policy

CastWyrd operates the website at castwyrd.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Service.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not store, save, or retain any images you upload. We do not create user accounts unless you choose to sign in. We do not collect your name or email address unless you sign in with Google or Apple. We do not track your reading history unless you are a premium member who has opted in. We do not sell your data to third parties.

Image Processing

Images you upload are transmitted securely to our processing server for the sole purpose of generating your rune interpretation. Images are analyzed in real time and immediately discarded. They are never written to disk, stored in a database, or retained in any form after your reading is generated.

Account Data

If you choose to sign in with Google or Apple, we store your user ID, email address, and display name provided by the OAuth provider. We also store your casting preferences (default spread, rune count) and, for premium members, your last reading. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your account page.

Technical Data

When you use the Service, our servers may temporarily process your IP address for rate limiting purposes. This data is stored only as an anonymous counter in a time-limited cache and expires automatically within one hour.

Advertising

The free version of CastWyrd displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. We do not have access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers.

Third-Party AI Services

Your rune cast image and optional question are transmitted to one or more AI providers (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic) for interpretation. These providers process your data under their own privacy policies. We transmit only the minimum data necessary and do not include personally identifying information in these requests.

Bot Protection

We use Cloudflare Turnstile to protect the Service from automated abuse. Turnstile is a privacy-preserving alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs that does not use tracking cookies or collect personal data.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
