Privacy Policy

Version 1.2 · Effective 22 August 2026 · GIWOON (giwoon.com)

The short version. GIWOON needs your birth date, birth time, and sex to calculate your Saju chart — without them the service does not work. If you verify a phone number, we store only a one-way hash, never the number itself. Conversations with the Master and with Codex figures are saved to your account so you can pick them up again. If you have not signed up, we do not ask for your email. Delete your account and almost everything goes with it, immediately. Details below.

1. What we collect

At sign-up (required)

ItemWhy
Email addressTo identify your account, sign you in, and send essential notices
PasswordAuthentication. Stored only in a form that cannot be reversed
Birth date · solar/lunar · birth time · sexTo calculate your Saju chart. This is the core function of the service

If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive the email address, identifier, display name and profile picture those services provide. We never receive your password.

The display name and profile picture are used only to greet you at the top of the screen. The profile picture is not stored on our servers — each time you open the page we show whatever the provider gives us at that moment, so if you change your picture there, it follows here too. The display name is stored with your account as the name we call you by, and is deleted when your account information is deleted.

If you answered someone's Inyeon board (even without an account)

If a member sends you a link to their Inyeon board and you answer it, we collect your name, date of birth, solar/lunar calendar, hour of birth and sex so we can read the relationship between you and that member. We ask for your consent before you send your answer, and we record the time you gave it. You choose whether the member sees your date of birth.

Your answer is deleted together with the member's account when they delete it. If you would like it removed sooner, write to giwoon.com@gmail.com — we will find which board you answered and remove it.

If you have not signed up (Guest · PRE ACCOUNT)

You can view your chart and basic reading without an account. Even then, we need your birth date and birth time to calculate the chart. So we keep the following.

ItemWhyConsent
Temporary ID A random number that recognises this browser. It is not linked to your name or contact details. We do not use device fingerprinting Needed to provide the service
Birth date · calendar · birth time · sex Used to calculate your chart. If you sign up it carries over, so you do not enter it again Needed to provide the service
From 22 August 2026 we no longer collect email addresses from guests. We retired the "email me the result" feature and replaced it with saving the result to your account. If you left an email before that date, you can erase it at any time on the deletion & opt-out page.
Guest records contain no name, phone number or password. Nothing in them identifies you. You can erase them at any time from the deletion & opt-out page.

Optional

ItemWhyCan you skip it?
Name or nicknameSo we can address youYes
Phone numberTo prevent one person from creating many accounts to farm rewards. Verifying earns a sign-up rewardYes. You simply do not receive that reward; the service still works
We do not store phone numbers. A number is converted to an irreversible value (HMAC-SHA256) the moment it arrives; the original is discarded. We cannot tell what your number is — only whether that number has been used before.

Collected as you use the service

2. Children

GIWOON is not intended for children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If we learn that an account belongs to a child under 14, we delete it without delay.

3. How long we keep it

WhatHow longWhy
Account, chart, conversations, saved results, Codex, Giwoon balanceDeleted immediately on account deletionPurpose fulfilled
Guest chart data · temporary ID Erased after 90 days (moved to your account if you sign up before then) Purpose fulfilled — there is no reason to keep stale temporary records
Name and chart data of someone who answered an Inyeon board Deleted together with the account of the member who created the board Used only to read that member's relationships. Removed sooner on request
Email a guest left before 22 August 2026 Until you erase it — we no longer collect new ones We told you so when we collected it. You can withdraw at any time on the deletion & opt-out page
Phone number hash90 days after deletion, then erasedTo stop repeated delete-and-rejoin reward farming. The value cannot be turned back into a phone number
Records of contracts and withdrawal of offers5 yearsKorean e-commerce consumer protection law
Records of payment and supply of goods5 yearsSame
Records of consumer complaints and dispute resolution3 yearsSame
Records of display and advertising6 monthsSame
Access logs3 monthsKorean Protection of Communications Secrets Act

Records kept under law are used only for that purpose. After you delete your account they are severed from your identity, so they can no longer be tied to you.

If you are outside South Korea, please read this. GIWOON is operated from South Korea and your information — including your birth details and your conversations — is stored and processed on servers in Seoul, South Korea. By using the service you understand that your information is transferred to and held in South Korea, which may have data protection laws different from those where you live. You can withdraw from this at any time by deleting your account.

We do not sell your information and do not share it with third parties, except where a lawful authority compels it through proper legal process.

5. About advertising

Giwoon.com shows Google AdSense ads. Ads appear in two fixed places on the result screen and nowhere else.

Who does not see ads

What reaches Google

To choose an ad, Google uses cookies and similar technologies. What reaches Google is what your browser sends — your IP address, device and browser details, the page address you are on, and an advertising cookie identifier. Google may combine your visits here with visits to other sites to show ads that fit your interests.

Your name, email, birth date, chart data, and AI conversations are never sent to Google. There is no path in our code that would send them.

Turning off personalized ads

Plainly: Google's ad script loads for everyone, including people who never see an ad — Google uses that tag to verify the site, so it has to be on every page. No ad is displayed to them.

6. About the AI

To generate readings and replies, your calculated chart and the conversation are sent to an AI model (Amazon Bedrock). This is used only to produce your answer. It is not used to train the model.

GIWOON readings are for reflection and entertainment. They are not a substitute for medical, legal, financial, or career advice from a qualified professional.

We announce changes in the app at least 7 days before they take effect, and at least 30 days before any change that is unfavourable to you — for which we also ask your consent again.
