Last Updated: February 20, 2026

Introduction

Six Lines (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our mobile application and marketing website.

Information We Collect

Mobile Application

Core Features - Minimal Data Collection

Six Lines is designed with privacy as a core principle. The app works without requiring personal information:

No required accounts: You can use the core app without registration or login
No behavioral tracking: We do not track your navigation patterns or usage habits
No crash reporting: We do not collect crash logs or diagnostic data
No third-party tracking: No advertising networks or analytics services are integrated

Optional Personalization Features

During onboarding or elsewhere in the app, you may choose to engage with optional personalization features. If you do, we may collect:

Reflective responses: Your answers to questions designed to understand your contemplative preferences
Initial readings: Divination queries and hexagrams you explore during onboarding
Profile indicators: Information about how you prefer to engage with the I-Ching and artwork

This personalization data is:

Completely optional—you may skip personalization entirely
Stored on your device, with optional synced portions stored on our servers
Used only to enhance your experience within the app
Never sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising
Deletable in-app via Delete All Data, which also removes synced data from our servers within 30 days

Optional Sync Features (No Account Required)

Some features use server storage linked to an anonymous device identifier (not an email/name account), including:

Synced reading data: Stored Gua sessions and related interpretation content for continuity across reinstalls/devices
Tutorial state: Learning/reflection progress needed for feature access logic
Notes linked to readings: User-authored notes attached to synced sessions
Security logs: Limited request metadata used for abuse prevention and reliability

Server-side data in these flows is:

Encrypted in transit and at rest
Stored securely on our servers
Never sold or shared with third parties
Never used for advertising or marketing without explicit consent
Deleted from our servers within 30 days when you use the in-app Delete All Data action

Important: Six Lines does not require account registration for core use.

Local Data Storage

Certain preferences are stored locally on your device and never leave your device:

Theme preferences (light/dark mode)
Scroll positions for artworks
Recently viewed hexagrams
Interface customizations

This locally stored data is not transmitted to our servers unless you use optional synced features.

Marketing Website

Minimal Data Collection

Our marketing website collects minimal information necessary for basic functionality:

Server logs: Standard web server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited
Website analytics: We may use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used (e.g. page views); you can control this via your browser or Google’s tools
No personal information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or other personal data through the website

How We Use Information

Mobile Application

We use collected information only for the following purposes:

Personalization: To tailor hexagram and artwork pairings to your contemplative preferences
Sync and continuity services: To provide optional synced readings, notes, and learning progress across app sessions
App improvement: To understand how features are used and improve the contemplative experience
Communication: To respond to your questions or support requests

We never use your information for advertising, marketing to third parties, or any purpose unrelated to your Six Lines experience.

Marketing Website

Any server log data is used solely for:

Basic website functionality
Security monitoring
Technical troubleshooting

Information Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties. Your data may only be shared in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers: With trusted infrastructure providers (such as cloud hosting) who help us operate the app, under strict confidentiality agreements
Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our legal rights
With your consent: If you explicitly request us to share information

We will never sell your personal information or use it for advertising purposes.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

Encryption: All data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest
Secure infrastructure: Data is stored on secure, reputable cloud platforms
Access controls: Strict limitations on who can access user data
Regular updates: We maintain current security patches and protocols

While no system is completely secure, we take reasonable precautions to protect your information.

Children’s Privacy

Six Lines is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will promptly delete it. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided information to us should contact us at privacy@digitalrain.studio.

Third-Party Services

Mobile Application

The app does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Marketing Website

Our website may be hosted on third-party platforms (such as Vercel) and we may use Google Analytics to understand site usage. We do not use advertising or other third-party tracking services on the site.

If you use Six Lines from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the app, you consent to such transfers. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers.
