Privacy

This policy describes how the present website handles reading questions, notes and ordinary technical information.

What the site stores

The site can store reading questions, saved readings and notes in your browser's local storage when you choose to save them. This information remains on that device and browser unless you export or delete it. The Society does not presently maintain customer accounts or a server-side Notebook.

Questions and readings

Questions are used in the browser to frame the prepared reading experience. They are not sent to a live artificial-intelligence reading service. An Open Deck arrangement is also handled in the browser and is not interpreted as a complete spread by the site.

Technical information and service providers

The hosting provider and webfont provider may process ordinary technical information needed to deliver the site, such as an IP address, browser information, requested pages and security logs. The Society does not presently use an advertising pixel or behavioural advertising system.

Website analytics

The site uses Google Analytics to understand broad patterns of use. It may collect information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, referral source and interactions with the Reading Room. Reading questions, card names, interpretations, journal text, names and email addresses are not sent to Google Analytics.

Orders and payments

When an order is placed, the sales or payment provider identified at checkout may collect customer, delivery and payment information. The Society may receive the customer’s name, email address, delivery address, order details and payment status. Full payment-card information is handled by the payment provider and should never be sent to the Society by email.

Marketing

Marketing communications are sent only where the recipient has consented or another lawful basis applies. Messages identify the sender and provide a working unsubscribe method. Buying a product is not, by itself, treated as consent to unrelated marketing.

Access, correction and complaints

Browser-stored Notebook information can be reviewed, exported and deleted using the controls on this device. Privacy requests and complaints can be sent to hello@sicetnonsociety.com or made through the Contact page.

Security and retention

No internet service is perfectly secure. The Society minimises collection, limits access and retains personal information only for a legitimate operational or legal purpose, including fulfilling orders, responding to correspondence and meeting accounting or legal obligations.

Australian privacy position

Whether the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) applies depends on matters including the operator's turnover and activities. The Society uses the Australian Privacy Principles as a reference point for sound practice, without representing that every APP applies in every circumstance.
