Consent and Boundaries for Sharing Past-Life Results
Consent and boundaries for sharing past-life results mean a specific yes from every living adult involved, and a no that ends the request. The result itself is imagined entertainment. Sharing it is not genealogy with an audience, not an identity assignment you give someone else, and not proof of a past life.
Key facts
- Your own solo card is yours to keep private. Privacy does not require a reason.
- Another adult’s name, face, birth data, or quiz answers are not yours to post because you are excited.
- A minor is never a subject. Do not quiz a child, do not invent a past for a child, and do not use a child’s photo.
- A yes for one room is not a yes for every room. A partner who agreed to hear a paragraph did not agree to your public account.
- Adults in the US, the EU, and the English-speaking Gulf are the only audience for this product. Courtesy does not get looser in a group chat.
- BaZi uses birth data and is professional guidance, not entertainment. Sharing a chart needs an even clearer yes. Pick a Good Day can expose a private plan. Do not treat either screenshot as a lighter version of the card.
What a real yes sounds like
A real yes is specific. “You can show me the card” is not “you can post the card.” “You can tell the joke at dinner” is not “you can tag me.” “I will take the quiz myself” is not “you may answer as me.” If you did not hear the specific yes, you do not have it. Silence while you are already holding the phone up is not a yes. A laugh can be discomfort. When you are unsure, lower the phone.
Withdrawal is part of the yes. If someone says later that the image bothers them, delete it from the place you control and ask before you describe it again. Do not argue that they liked it at the time. Tastes change, and a story that felt playful at dinner can feel exposing at work on Monday. The friends essay is the social version. This page is the boundary underneath it. The couples essay assumes two yeses that can be revoked.
Your own result starts at the test and nowhere else for someone else’s life. The product frame is About PastLifeTest. Help and the privacy note cover accounts and inboxes. They do not replace a conversation with the person in the room.
A sentence a reader might say
“I would like to show you a fiction card I got. If you do not want to see it, that is the end of the request.”
Then wait. The wait is the consent. Filling the wait with the image is the failure.
How the quiz card should be introduced
Only after the yes: “Entertainment quiz, my answers, a made-up scene. I am not introducing it as a fact about you or about us.” If the card was made on a paired door, name that both of you opted in, and still do not expand the audience without a second round of yes. The setup page reminds you there was no specialist in the room. Do not invent one when you retell the night.
Boundaries that are not optional
Do not share to win an argument. A card is not evidence in a custody talk, a workplace dispute, or a family fight about who is “really” loyal. Do not share to flirt with someone who has declined flirting. Do not share a dead person’s invented past as entertainment for people who are mourning them. Grief is not a theme night.
Do not ask for someone’s birth time “so the story will be more accurate.” The free card does not use a birth time. The request is usually a way to wander onto the guidance shelf without saying so. If they want a chart, they can open it themselves as adults. You do not collect their data for a surprise.
Photos of faces are a separate bright line. Do not upload a partner’s face, a stranger’s face, or a public figure’s face to decorate a story. The fiction does not need a likeness. A likeness is how play becomes a portrait of a person who did not sit for it.
Public figures and private neighbors get the same protection against assignment. You may not announce that a celebrity, a politician, or the person in the flat upstairs had a particular past life. The announcement is an identity you do not get to give. The leader essay refuses famous lives for yourself. The same refusal covers everyone else.
A request that gets a no
A reader in Lyon wants to show a card at a birthday dinner because the group likes games. She asks two friends before dessert. One says yes. One says, “Not tonight.” She puts the phone away for both of them, because a split room is not a yes, and she does not want the no to become a spectacle. Later she can show the interested friend on a walk, with the sentence above, and leave the birthday out of it. The no does not need to be processed in the group. Boundaries are quieter than the card.
If she had already posted and then received a no, the repair would be deletion plus a short note, not a thread about why the scene was harmless. Harmless is her opinion. The no is the other person’s boundary. Entertainment that cannot survive a deletion was asking to be too important.
What this is not
This is not a loophole for “it is just fiction,” not a genealogy release form, and not proof that a shared story binds anyone. Consent and boundaries mean a specific yes, an easy no, and a fiction label. When the share ignores a no, it is not entertainment anymore. It is a boundary problem.
Permission is not something the till sells
Paying later, at a listed $12.99 for more prose, would not purchase another person’s consent and would not rate how open someone should be. The free card can stay on your side of the table until you have a real yes.
