Privacy Policy

What we collect, what happens to your palm photo, and your rights. Written to be read, not skimmed past.

Last updated: October 20, 2026

The short version

Your palm photo is used only to create your reading and is deleted as soon as the reading is ready. It is never sold, never shared for marketing, and never used to train AI. You don’t need an account. We collect as little as we can.

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy covers palmistrypalmreading.com (“Palmistry Palm Reading”, “we”, “us”), including our free palm scanner. We are responsible for (the “controller” of) the personal information described here. Contact: [email protected].

2. What we collect

InformationWhenWhy
Palm photo you uploadWhen you use the scannerOnly to create your reading (see section 3)
Your email address and messageWhen you email usTo reply to you
Technical data: IP address, browser, device type, pages visited, referring siteWhen you visit the siteTo run, secure and improve the site
Cookie dataWhen you visit the siteSee our Cookie Policy

We don’t ask for your name, date of birth, address or payment details, and the scanner needs no account.

3. Your palm photo

  • Purpose: your photo is used only to generate your palm reading.
  • Processing: the photo is analysed by an AI image-analysis service that works on our behalf as a processor. It may only process the photo to produce your reading, under terms that do not allow it to keep the photo or use it to train AI models.
  • Deletion: the photo is deleted as soon as your reading is ready. We don’t keep a copy and we don’t build a profile from it.
  • Not used for identification: we don’t use your photo to identify you, and we don’t create fingerprints, palm prints or any biometric template from it.
  • Never sold, never used for marketing, never used to train AI.
  • Tip: upload only your palm. Avoid including your face, rings with engravings, documents or anything else personal in the photo.

4. How we use information

  • To provide your palm reading.
  • To answer your emails and requests.
  • To keep the site working, secure and free of abuse.
  • To understand, in aggregate, which pages are useful so we can improve them.
  • To meet legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

  • Your request (performance of a service): processing your palm photo to give you the reading you asked for.
  • Legitimate interests: answering emails, keeping the site secure and understanding how it’s used.
  • Consent: non-essential cookies, where required. You can withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legal obligation: where the law requires us to keep or disclose information.

6. Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers that help us run the site, and only as needed:

  • Web hosting and security providers, which host the site and protect it from attacks.
  • AI image-analysis provider, which processes your palm photo to create the reading and must not keep it or train on it.
  • Analytics provider (such as Google Analytics), if analytics are enabled, to measure site use in aggregate.
  • Email provider, which delivers and stores our email.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety and security of our users or the site. If the site is ever transferred to a new owner, this policy will continue to apply to information collected under it.

7. Cookies

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies. Details and choices are in our Cookie Policy.

8. How long we keep it

InformationHow long
Palm photoDeleted as soon as your reading is ready
EmailsUp to 24 months after our last message, then deleted
Server and security logsUsually up to 90 days
Analytics dataUp to 14 months, in aggregated or pseudonymised form

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including under the UK GDPR, EU GDPR, Canada’s PIPEDA and Australia’s Privacy Act), you may have the right to:

  • ask what personal information we hold about you and get a copy;
  • ask us to correct it;
  • ask us to delete it;
  • object to or restrict how we use it;
  • withdraw consent (for example, to cookies);
  • complain to your data protection authority, such as the ICO (UK), the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (Canada) or the OAIC (Australia).

To make a request, email [email protected] with “Privacy request” in the subject. We reply within 30 days. Because we delete palm photos straight away and don’t use accounts, we usually hold very little about you, often only your emails to us.

10. U.S. state privacy rights

If you live in California or another U.S. state with a privacy law, you may have the right to know, access, correct and delete your personal information, and to opt out of its “sale” or “sharing” for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights. Email [email protected] to make a request. We may need to confirm your request comes from you.

11. International transfers

Our service providers may process information in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect it.

12. Security

The site uses HTTPS encryption, and we limit access to personal information to what’s needed to run the site. No website can guarantee perfect security, but deleting palm photos straight away and not using accounts means there is very little to expose.

13. Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect personal information from them. The palm scanner is intended for users aged 18 and over; younger users should use it only with a parent’s or guardian’s permission. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

14. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top. If a change is significant, we’ll make it clear on this page.
