This Privacy Policy applies to HUI at huzoukai.com, including the interactive I Ching experience, payment flow and AI-assisted interpretation. It does not replace the separate policies of third-party checkout, AI or infrastructure providers.
Data controller
HUI is operated by HUZOUKAI, an individual operator based in Mainland China. HUZOUKAI determines why and how HUI processes the personal data described here and is the data controller for that processing.
- Privacy and support email: huzoukai@qq.com
- Data Protection Officer: not appointed at HUI’s current scale.
Scope and age
This policy applies when you browse HUI, use the gesture experience, submit a question, purchase a reading or contact support. The service is intended only for people aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us so we can delete it.
Information we collect
Question and reading data
When you request checkout, HUI receives the question you typed, six line values, interface language, a random reading ID and a one-way fingerprint used to bind payment to that reading. After payment, HUI also stores the generated bilingual interpretation.
Payment and fulfilment data
Before checkout, HUI asks for a delivery email so it can pre-fill Waffo checkout and send the requested interpretation and restoration link. HUI stores that address with the pending reading, then uses the email confirmed by Waffo after a successful purchase, falling back to the delivery address you supplied if Waffo does not return one. HUI also stores the reading ID, checkout session ID, Waffo order and payment references, payment status, amount, currency and timestamps. HUI does not receive or store your full card number, card security code or bank credentials; Waffo Pancake handles those details on its hosted checkout.
Camera and hand movement
If you grant camera permission, camera frames and hand landmarks are processed in your browser to recognise gestures. They are not uploaded to the HUI server, DeepSeek or Waffo, and HUI does not record them or use them to identify you. Mouse mode is available without camera access.
Browser and network data
HUI stores your language choice in local storage and the pending reading, delivery email and reading ID in session storage while checkout is completed. Like any internet service, HUI and the providers that deliver fonts, scripts, hosting and checkout necessarily receive ordinary request data such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, date/time and referrer. HUI does not currently use advertising pixels or a behavioural analytics service.
Support communications
If you email us, we receive your email address, message and any information you choose to include.
Please do not include names, identification numbers, payment credentials, medical records or other unnecessary sensitive details in your question. HUI works with a concise description of the situation.
How and why we use information
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Create and preserve a reading | Question, line values, reading ID, language | Performance of the service you request |
| Process and verify payment | Delivery email, checkout, order, amount and status references | Contract and legal obligations |
| Generate and email the paid interpretation | Question, reading structure, delivery email and restoration link | Performance of the purchase contract; consent where required |
| Prevent abuse and secure HUI | Request metadata and rate-limit signals | Legitimate interests |
| Answer support and privacy requests | Your email and message | Contract, legal obligation and legitimate interests |
HUI does not sell personal data, does not use it for cross-context behavioural advertising and does not send marketing messages. We may use aggregated or de-identified operational information that cannot reasonably identify an individual to maintain the service.
AI-assisted processing
After Waffo confirms payment, HUI sends your question and the technical reading structure to the DeepSeek API to generate the requested bilingual interpretation. HUI also sends a pseudonymous hashed user identifier; it does not include your name or email. HUI does not use your question to train its own AI model.
The interpretation is AI-generated and may be incomplete or inaccurate. It is a cultural reflection aid, not a decision made about your legal rights, employment, credit, health or access to essential services. You should review it critically and remain responsible for decisions.
DeepSeek processes data under its own Privacy Policy. Its current policy states that data may be processed and stored in the People’s Republic of China.
International data transfers
HUI is operated from Mainland China and serves users internationally. If you access HUI from another country, your question and related service data may be transferred to and processed in Mainland China. Waffo, Resend and content delivery providers may process transaction, email-delivery or network data in other jurisdictions.
Where applicable law requires a transfer mechanism or additional consent, we will rely on the provider’s contractual safeguards, an adequacy mechanism, explicit consent or another lawful basis available for the transfer. If you do not want your question processed in Mainland China, do not purchase an AI interpretation.
How long we keep data
| Data | Retention by HUI | Afterwards |
|---|---|---|
| Unpaid question and reading | Up to 48 hours | Deleted from HUI’s active store |
| Paid question, reading and interpretation | Up to 30 days | Deleted from HUI’s active store |
| Checkout email and email-delivery status | Up to 30 days with the paid reading | Deleted from HUI’s active store; Resend may keep limited delivery records under its own policy |
| Payment fulfilment references | Up to 30 days in HUI’s delivery store | Deleted; Waffo may retain its own transaction records as legally required |
| Pending browser reading | Until the browser session ends or site data is cleared | Removed by the browser |
| Language preference | Until you clear site data | Removed by the browser |
| Support emails | Up to 24 months, or longer if needed for a live dispute or legal duty | Deleted or archived as legally required |
Provider retention may differ and is governed by each provider’s own policy and legal obligations.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, receive portable data, withdraw consent and complain to a data protection authority. California residents may also request disclosure or deletion and may exercise rights without discrimination; HUI does not sell or share personal data for behavioural advertising.
Email huzoukai@qq.com with your reading ID or Waffo transaction reference and the right you wish to exercise. Do not send full card details. We may request limited information to verify that the request relates to you. We aim to respond within 30 calendar days, or within the period required by applicable law.
Deleting a paid reading before the 30-day retrieval period ends may prevent further retrieval and does not itself create a refund right.
Cookies and browser storage
HUI itself does not currently set cookies and does not use analytics or advertising trackers. It uses:
- Local storage to remember your language preference.
- Session storage to keep the pending question, delivery email and reading ID available while checkout is completed.
You can remove these through your browser’s site-data controls. Disabling browser storage may prevent payment restoration from working correctly. Waffo’s hosted checkout and external content providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies under their policies.
Security
HUI uses HTTPS in transit, random reading identifiers, one-way reading fingerprints, signed Waffo webhook verification, request size limits and rate limiting. Server-side data files are access-restricted, and payment credentials and API secrets are not exposed to the browser. HUI does not store full payment-card data.
No internet service is completely secure. If a security incident is likely to create a risk to users, we will investigate and provide notice to affected users and regulators within the period required by applicable law.
Sensitive questions and responsible use
Your question may reveal personal beliefs, relationships, health concerns, financial circumstances or other sensitive matters. Only include what is necessary. HUI is not designed to process medical files, legal documents, government identifiers, card data, precise location or information about children.
HUI is a cultural and reflective experience. It is not medical, mental-health, legal, financial or emergency advice. If you are in danger or crisis, contact local emergency services or an appropriate qualified professional rather than submitting the issue to HUI.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the service or law changes. The effective date at the top will be revised. For a material change, we will provide a prominent notice on HUI at least 15 days before it takes effect unless urgent security, legal or fraud-prevention needs require a shorter period.
