When you are not signed in

You can come into the courtyard without an account, and in that case Hanlu Temple keeps no information that could identify you.

Your browser does hold a few things, on this device only: a randomly chosen dharma name; whether you have sat on a cushion (so the tip is not repeated); which lot you drew in which hall today (only the date and the lot number); whether the full reading has been unlocked (a flag, not the code); and anything you wrote under Notes. Notes are never uploaded, and nobody else can see them.

When someone else is in the courtyard, the page uses a live service to tell them where you are, which way you are facing, what you are doing, which cushion you took and your dharma name — that is how you can see each other. If that service cannot be reached you are simply alone, and nothing is sent. These messages are relayed in server memory only, are never written to a database, and are gone when you leave. There is no chat, and no text can be sent.

What is stored if you sign in

Signing in is optional, and it takes one account name and a password — no email, no code. The account then holds: the account name, your dharma name, how many days you have visited, your bead count, your woodfish count, your bow count, your incense count, your lamp count, the last hall you were in, and a sign-in token (only a digest of it is stored, never the token itself).

The password is stored only as an irreversible scrypt digest — never in plain text, and never written to a log. The account name is used only to sign in; it sends no mail and is not shown to anyone else. The rest exists so that your name and counts are still there when you change device or browser.

You stay signed in on a device for 90 days, renewed by each visit, and you can sign out at any time from the Mine panel.

When you pay for a reading

The six yuan for a full reading can be paid in USDT inside the site. We then keep: the order number, the deposit address issued for that order, which lot you asked about, the amount, and whether it arrived. A transfer on-chain is public — anyone can see the transaction — but we do not link it to your account and we do not store your wallet address.

Payment is handled by a third-party channel. We never see your private keys and never receive your card details.

Where it lives, and who sees it

The site's servers sit outside mainland China. Hanlu Temple does not sell, rent or pass any of this to a third party.

The site uses only cookieless traffic counts — roughly how many people come and where from. It does not track individuals.

How to delete it

In the Mine panel, tap Delete account. The account and every record listed above are removed from the database immediately and cannot be recovered. You can still come into the courtyard afterwards without signing in.

Notes kept on this device can be removed with Clear in the Notes panel; clearing your browser data removes them too.
