Eastern Fortune AI ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website at easternfortune.ai. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our AI-powered Chinese astrology, tarot reading, and Chinese naming services.

We do not create user accounts. We do not store your personal data in any persistent database. The information you provide is used only for the duration of your request.
2. How We Use Your Information
Your information is used exclusively to generate AI-powered readings and name suggestions. Specifically:
- We pass your input to our AI service provider to generate your reading or name suggestions.
- We do not store, sell, or share your personal data with any third party beyond what is necessary to provide the service.
- IP addresses are used only for rate limiting to prevent abuse of our API endpoints.
3. Third-Party Services
We rely on the following third-party services to operate our platform:

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review their respective policies.
4. Data Retention
We do not persistently store any data you submit through our services. Your birth information, questions, and name preferences are sent to the AI provider in real time and are not retained after the response is generated. AI requests are processed in memory and discarded after delivery.
