Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 2026-06-15
1. Overview
Starry Research Labs Limited (the "Company", "we", "us") operates kaucim.ai (the "Website"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data.
This policy is drafted in compliance with the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (PDPO, Cap. 486).
2. Data We Collect
We may collect the following categories of data:
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Usage Data | IP address, browser type, pages visited, sign-number selections, Palmary scenario selections, result identifiers, and basic device or request diagnostics |
| Birth Details | The birth date, time, and sex you provide when using the Personal Profile Analysis Report. Used solely to generate your personalised analysis report; not used to identify you or for any other purpose. |
| Yuelao Conversation Data | Relationship context, questions, messages, follow-up dialogue, and any email address you provide to resume the same Yuelao conversation. Used to generate the reading and maintain conversational continuity; not published or used to identify you. |
| Palmary Photo and Reading Data | The palm photo you upload, your selected scenario or question, generated preview or full reading, result identifier, and related payment state. The original photo is sent once for AI analysis and is not stored by kaucim.ai after the request. Your browser may temporarily keep a local copy in sessionStorage so the annotated card can be generated or restored on your device. |
| Payment Data | Payment information processed via Stripe, Airwallex, or Antom. We do not store your credit card numbers directly. |
| Local Storage | Cached unlocked content stored in your browser's localStorage or sessionStorage, including generated analysis reports, Palmary result state, and temporary card-generation data |
3. How We Use Your Data
- Provide and improve our cultural content interpretation service
- Generate Palmary palm reading previews, full readings, and on-device annotated cards
- Provide Yuelao conversation continuity and allow you to resume a prior conversation
- Process your payment transactions (via Stripe, Airwallex, or Antom)
- Analyse user behaviour to improve AI quality and user experience
- Prevent fraud and abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
4. Data Sharing
We share data with the following third parties:
- Stripe, Inc. — Payment processing. Stripe receives your payment information to complete the transaction. See the Stripe Privacy Policy.
- Airwallex (Hong Kong) Limited — Payment processing. Airwallex receives your payment information to complete the transaction. See the Airwallex Privacy Policy.
- Antom (Ant International) — Payment processing. Antom receives your payment information to complete the transaction. See the Antom Privacy Policy.
- AI Interpretation Provider — AI interpretation engine. Depending on the product, the data sent to the AI model may include your sign selection and question type, birth details used for a chart-based report, Yuelao messages you submit, or a Palmary palm photo and scenario prompt. These inputs are used to generate the requested output and are not published by us.
- Hosting providers — Our cloud hosting service (e.g. Vercel) may process access logs.
Aside from the above, we do not sell, rent, or otherwise disclose your personal data to third parties, except as required by law.
5. Cookies & Local Storage
This Website currently does not use tracking cookies. We use the browser's localStorage to cache your unlocked paid content so you can return to view it at any time. This data is stored only on your device.
Palmary may also use your browser's sessionStorage to temporarily hold the uploaded palm photo and generated card state during the same browser session. This local copy is used for on-device card generation and recovery; it is not a server-side storage copy held by kaucim.ai.
If we introduce analytics tools in the future (e.g. Google Analytics), we will update this policy and request consent where appropriate.
6. Data Storage and Security
Your data may be stored outside Hong Kong (including the United States, Singapore, and other regions) as our third-party providers (Stripe, Airwallex, Antom, Vercel, and our AI interpretation provider) operate servers overseas. We take reasonable measures to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security of internet transmissions.
Palmary result data is stored for a limited time to support payment verification and unlocking. The original palm photo is not stored by kaucim.ai after the analysis request, but it may be processed by the AI interpretation provider and temporarily retained in your own browser session as described above.
7. Your Rights (Under PDPO)
Under the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, you have the right to:
- Access — Request access to the personal data we hold about you
- Correct — Request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Delete — Request deletion of your personal data where reasonable
To exercise these rights, please email support@kaucim.ai. We will respond within a reasonable time.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 16. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a minor, we will take steps to delete it.
9. Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
