Privacy

What we keep — and what we don't.

Born is built to be quiet. We don't run analytics on your day, sell your inputs, or follow you across the web.

What we store

The birth date and city you enter, plus the generated story (cached so we don't re-fetch APIs every visit).
If you purchase or gift: the email Stripe collects for the receipt, and — for gifts — the recipient's name. Payment details are handled entirely by Stripe; we never see your card.
An anonymous count of total stories generated.

What we don't store

No accounts, no passwords, no profile.
No tracking pixels, no third-party analytics, no advertising IDs.
No retained IP logs or device fingerprints beyond standard server access logs.

Where the data comes from

Weather: Open-Meteo. Headlines & on-this-day events: Wikipedia & Wikimedia. #1 song: Billboard Hot 100. Prices & the S&P 500: FRED (Federal Reserve). Cosmos image: NASA APOD.

Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. We receive a confirmation that a session completed and the metadata needed to unlock your certificate (date, city, gift recipient name). Card details never touch our servers.
