1. Introduction & Core Philosophy
At Tarot Birth Card Calculator (accessible at https://tarotbirthcardcalculator.com/), your privacy is not merely a legal compliance checkbox; it is a foundational architectural principle. We recognize that entering your date of birth is an intimate, personal act. In an era dominated by invasive data harvesting, surveillance capitalism, and opaque tracking scripts, we have intentionally built this website as a 100% client-side, zero-knowledge platform.
This Privacy Policy explains how our website operates, what minimal functional data is stored locally on your device, and why you can explore our tools with complete peace of mind.
2. Complete Client-Side Calculation (Zero Server Transmission)
When you enter your birth day, month, and year into our primary Tarot Birth Card Calculator, Year Card Calculator, or comparative tools, that data never leaves your device.
- The mathematical addition and reduction algorithms execute strictly within your local web browser using native vanilla JavaScript.
- No network requests (API calls, webhooks, or database writes) are transmitted to our web server or any third party when you click 'Calculate'.
- Our web server infrastructure processes standard static asset requests (HTML, CSS, JS, SVG) and logs only standard server access metrics (such as IP address and user-agent string for server health and DDoS prevention), but never receives your birth date.
3. Local Storage & Functional Browser Preferences
We do not use tracking cookies. We utilize the native HTML5 localStorage API solely to preserve your explicit user interface choices across sessions:
| Local Storage Key | Purpose | Data Stored | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
tarot_theme |
Remembers your visual preference for Dark Mode or Light Mode. | String: "dark" or "light" |
Persistent until browser cache/storage is cleared. |
tarot_lang |
Remembers your preferred language selection for UI labels. | String: "en", "es", "de", "id", or "pt" |
Persistent until browser cache/storage is cleared. |
Neither of these storage keys contains any personally identifiable information, dates of birth, or browsing history.
4. Zero Third-Party Tracking & External Dependencies
Unlike many modern web applications, this site operates with zero external CDN dependencies:
- We do not load Google Fonts, Font Awesome, or external typography CDNs that track IP addresses.
- We do not embed third-party advertising networks, affiliate tracking beacons, or social media tracking pixels (e.g. Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel).
- All CSS styles, JavaScript logic, SVG icons, and imagery are hosted locally and self-contained within our web directory.
5. Local Utility Operations: Print, Copy, Share & Download
Our result utility buttons operate with the same local privacy commitment:
- Print: Invokes your browser's native print dialogue (
window.print()) locally. - Copy: Copies plain text summary to your device's clipboard via the standard Clipboard API.
- Share: Utilizes your device's native Web Share API (where available) or provides an on-page link copy fallback.
- Download PNG / TXT: Generates formatted text files and HTML5 Canvas images directly inside your browser memory using client-side Blob creation (
URL.createObjectURL). No image files are ever uploaded to or stored on our servers.
6. Children's Privacy Protection
Our website is an informational, contemplative educational resource intended for general audiences. Because we do not collect, store, or solicit personal information from any user, we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 in accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and international privacy regulations.
