Birth Data Security Basics for Online Readers
Birth data is private. On PastLifeTest that means a date, a time, and a place you type for a BaZi chart, and a birth date you optionally add so Pick a Good Day can note a clash, stay on the account you choose and on the pages you choose to open. They are not a quiz answer, and they are not a public badge. These basics are ordinary care for adults. They are not a security certification, and they are not legal advice. Opening a form does not charge a card.
Key facts
- The past-life quiz does not need a birth time. The privacy page says the free card and a paid text chapter are not built from a birth time, a government ID, or a photo.
- BaZi uses the birth details you supply. The same details return the same chart. An unknown hour leaves the hour pillar blank rather than inventing one.
- Save this reading stores a title, a short summary, and a page link. A chart summary can include the birth line so you can tell rows apart. That summary is private account text.
- A Good Day link can carry the window and, if you entered it, the birth date used for the match. Anyone with the link can reopen it.
- The magic link that signs you in is one use and lasts about twenty minutes. Do not forward it. It does not charge. The session cookie can last up to 30 days. Sign out on a shared device.
- Deletion of what the site holds for an email is requested at privacy@pastlifetest.com. Browser copies stay until you clear them.
What counts as birth data here
A full birth line is a civil date, a clock time, and a city or place used to cast pillars. A birth date without a time is still identifying. A year animal mentioned in conversation is less precise, but a full line in a screenshot is enough for someone to reuse the form. Sex at birth, when the full chart asks for it, is an input for luck direction together with the hour. It is not a story about your relationships, and it is still personal.
The entertainment quiz is a different object. Era, role, and a short opening are fiction. They are not a substitute birth record, and you should not add your real birth time to the caption to “complete” them. About PastLifeTest keeps the shelves apart so a share image does not pick up a birth line by habit.
Guidance remains guidance. A chart is not medical, legal, or financial advice. Hiding the birth line does not make the reading a diagnosis, and publishing the birth line does not make it an official document.
A café laptop in Brussels
Maya, an adult in Brussels, casts a chart on a café laptop and almost emails the magic link to her own second address so she can open it on the train. She stops. The link would sign the holder into the account, and the café network is not a place to demonstrate that. She requests the link only on the phone she keeps, opens it once within twenty minutes, and signs out of the café browser. The account row holds a title, a summary with her birth line, and a page link. She does not paste the summary into a group chat about “chart friends.” Nothing was charged. Light BaZi stays listed at $12.99 and the full chart at $19.99, unpaid.
A family group that wants the time
A cousin asks in a group chat for “everyone’s birth time so we can compare.” Comparison is optional and adult. Birth data is private, so a group prompt is a poor default. Each adult can cast their own chart on BaZi and keep the result. Nobody owes the chat a clock time. Children are out of scope entirely. Do not collect a minor’s birth time for a demonstration on this site.
Habits that match the product
Use an email you control. The account, the waitlist note, and the sign-in link all meet at that address. A shared family inbox means shared access to the summary. If that is unacceptable, use a different address before you save.
Do not forward the magic link. Forwarding hands over the sign-in. If you want to show a result, open the result and decide whether the other adult should see that page. The help page says the free past-life card needs no account, and that a Good Day or a chart is what the email link is for. The account is the cupboard. It is not a social profile.
Sign out when the device is not yours. Thirty days is a long time for a session to sit on a work computer. Sign-out does not delete the saved row. If you want the row deleted, use the privacy email. Clear the browser if the quiz or the form autofill remains.
Be careful with screenshots. Crop the birth line if the picture is for a conversation about a symbol rather than about the facts. Better: do not post the picture. A past-life card, if you share one, should stay a fiction image without your civil birth data added in the corner.
Good Day has a similar edge. One free day can be viewed without an account. If you add a birth date for a personal match, that date can sit in the page link you save. The price is not the privacy issue. The date in the link is.
Charms and memorials should not be used as a place to park a birth line either. A charm is a $12.99 PDF in A4 and Letter, one symbol and one line, nothing mailed. A memorial is $12.99 digital, a name you choose to type, not contact with the dead, and not a chart of the person who died.
What the site does not claim
The site does not claim a formal security audit in this article, a government certification, or a guarantee that no inbox will ever be phished. You still protect the email account the way you protect other sign-in mail. The privacy page describes what is collected, the httpOnly session cookie, the absence of an advertising cookie, and the deletion route. If mail is not configured, that page says the link is written to a server log instead of an inbox. Readers should not go looking for server logs. They should use a fresh link sent to an inbox they control.
How results are made and the FAQ cover the fiction side if someone is mixing a story card with a birth record. Mixing them is the mistake these basics are meant to prevent. Adults only. If a reading leaves you in crisis, contact local emergency services. The site is not a helpline.
What this is not
- Not a security certificate, a penetration test, or legal advice about data law.
- Not permission to collect another adult’s birth time, and never a child’s.
- Not a statement that the quiz stores a birth time. The free card does not need one.
- Not a charge. A magic link does not bill the email.
- Not medical, legal, or financial protection. A private chart is still guidance, not a clinician or a lawyer.
- Not an export product. The save is a title, a summary, and a link, kept private by how you handle the account.
