Privacy Policy

The Spore Patch is the operator of The Spore Oracle (thesporeoracle.world). We are the data controller responsible for the personal information collected through this site.

If you have questions about this policy, write to us at hello@www.thesporeoracle.world.

We collect only what is needed to root the experience in place:

• Account details: email address and authentication status when you create an account or sign in.
• Reading notes: the spreads you draw, card positions and any notes you choose to save in the members' chamber.
• Contact messages: name, email address and message content when you write to us.
• Payment information: handled by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers or bank details on our own servers.
• Technical information: browser type, IP address and session data required to keep the site secure and available.

We use your information to:

• Provide oracle readings, membership access and the journal shop.
• Secure your account and verify your identity.
• Process payments and manage subscriptions through Stripe.
• Answer your questions and respond to your correspondence.
• Keep the site running reliably and protect against misuse.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use it to train external AI models.

We rely on a small number of trusted service providers to keep the forest alive:

• Lovable Cloud — hosting, authentication, database and server functions. Data is stored and processed through this platform infrastructure.
• Stripe — payment processing for the Spiral Circle membership and any other products sold directly through the site.
• Google — optional sign-in via Google OAuth, if you choose it.
• Payhip — delivery of the digital Spore Oracle Journal PDF.

Each provider only receives what is necessary to perform its role and is bound by appropriate data protection and security obligations.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your preferences and protect the site. Stripe and Payhip may also set cookies or tokens as part of their payment and delivery flows.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. If you disable authentication cookies, you may not be able to sign in or save readings.

• Account information: kept while your account is active. You may delete your account at any time by contacting us.
• Saved readings: kept until you delete them or delete your account.
• Contact messages: retained for up to 12 months after we respond, unless you ask us to remove them sooner.
• Payment records: kept as long as required by law for tax and accounting purposes.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Delete your account and the readings you have saved.
• Export your saved readings in a readable format.
• Object to certain processing or withdraw consent.
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@www.thesporeoracle.world.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit (TLS), hashed passwords and access controls on our database. No system is completely immune from risk, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Spore Oracle is intended for people aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have done so, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site grows. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we will also notify you by email or through the site.
