Privacy Policy and Transparency

The Hermetic Mirror is a digital platform dedicated exclusively to personal introspection, archetypal symbolism, and the study of hermetic traditions. The Hermetic Mirror is NOT an oracle for future divination nor does it intend to predict coming events. Its purpose is to act as a mirror of the subconscious to help consultants reflect upon what truly moves and inspires them.

The Yes / No / Maybe Oracle functions analogously to a reflective, playful tool (similar to a mystic Magic 8-Ball): its purpose is not to make decisions on behalf of users, but rather to accelerate and clarify doubts during moments of indecision. Consultants always preserve their absolute free will and assume sole personal responsibility for their life choices.

The Hermetic Mirror strictly prohibits and rejects any practices, rituals, spells, or acts of black magic aimed at harming oneself or third parties. This sanctuary was created as a self-help refuge to offer a pause, clarity, and perspective during times of uncertainty.

The use of this platform is purely for entertainment and personal growth, and does not substitute professional medical, psychological, financial, or legal guidance.

To protect the intimacy of your mind, your questions and the archetypal interpretations generated in your spreads are shielded under an authenticated layer of AES-256-GCM symmetric encryption.

This ensures that in our databases, your queries are never stored as plain readable text, but rather encoded via secure cryptographic vectors. The screenshot below illustrates how your records rest safely in our database tables:

Consultants may at any time request the complete and irreversible deletion of their reading history and account by contacting our support channel.

When logging in via your Google account, The Hermetic Mirror only requests access to your basic public profile data: your name, email address, and public profile picture.

This information is used exclusively to:

• Authenticate your session and create your personal sanctuary profile.
• Privately synchronize your saved readings, favorite arcana, and preferences across devices.
• Send transactional confirmation emails if you choose to reach out via our contact form.

Strict No-Sale Commitment: The Hermetic Mirror never sells, rents, monetizes, or transfers data obtained through Google APIs to third parties, advertisers, or data brokers.

Our handling of information received from Google APIs strictly complies with the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

To decode the poetic and symbolic archetypes of the tarot cards, the system transmits your formulated question and name to leading Large Language Model providers (OpenAI and Google Gemini).

Transparency regarding AI training: The Hermetic Mirror does not train proprietary AI models on your questions nor sell your readings. However, be aware that upon transmitting data to external AI servers (OpenAI or Google), data handling is governed by their respective corporate policies (who may process API data in accordance with their terms). We encourage you to review the privacy policies of OpenAI and Google.

If you prefer that your reflections are not processed by third-party language models, we suggest phrasing questions without including sensitive, confidential, or personally identifiable details.

To optimize speed and ensure seamless performance, we use your browser's localStorage to:

• Persist your Daily Lucky Card for 24 hours without unnecessary network requests.
• Save your active tarot decks and card back selections.
• Ensure your session is fluid and privacy-respecting without tracking cookies at every click.

The Hermetic Mirror may display respectful advertising units via Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on prior user visits to this or other websites.

We are dedicated to preserving a calm, clutter-free sanctuary without intrusive overlays, respecting your peaceful contemplation.

In accordance with global privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA, and applicable data protection statutes), you have the right to request access, rectification, or permanent deletion of your account and all associated readings at any time.

To exercise this right, simply send an email from your registered address to consultas@hermeticmirror.com with the subject 'Data Deletion', and our team will permanently purge your data within 48 business hours.
