Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 1, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Wind Water Atelier collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the website, request information, use the relationship chart, or engage consultation services.
Information you provide
Depending on how you interact with Wind Water Atelier, you may provide:
- Your name, email address, telephone number, and message through a contact or inquiry form.
- Birth dates, birth times, birthplaces, time-zone information, and relationship information used for Four Pillars or compatibility work.
- Property addresses, floor plans, compass directions, photographs, videos, business information, and other materials needed for a Feng Shui consultation.
- Scheduling, billing, and transaction information processed through service providers.
- Communications, preferences, feedback, and other information you choose to send.
Please avoid sending sensitive information that is not necessary for the requested service.
Relationship chart and birthplace search
Information entered into the online relationship chart is used to generate the requested chart. Wind Water Atelier does not intentionally retain birth information entered only into the chart unless you separately submit or send it.
When you search for a birthplace, the location text may be sent to a third-party geocoding service so matching cities and time zones can be displayed. Third-party services may process technical information according to their own privacy policies.
Information collected automatically
The website and its service providers may automatically collect technical information such as an IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, pages visited, referring page, date and time of access, and interactions with the site. Cookies and similar technologies may be used for site operation, security, preferences, and analytics.
How information is used
Wind Water Atelier may use information to:
- Respond to questions and schedule information calls.
- Prepare reports and provide consultations.
- Personalize recommendations and deliver requested services.
- Process transactions and maintain business records.
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and chart.
- Understand general website usage.
- Comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect rights and safety.
- Send service-related communications and, where permitted, communications you request or consent to receive.
Service providers and disclosures
Information may be processed by vendors that support website hosting, chart hosting, geocoding or location search, analytics, email, scheduling, file storage, communications, and payment processing. These providers receive information only as needed to perform their services and operate under their own terms and privacy practices.
Wind Water Atelier may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or complete a business transfer. Wind Water Atelier does not knowingly sell personal information.
Data retention
Information is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including providing services, maintaining business and tax records, resolving disputes, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary according to the type of information and the reason it was collected.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. No website, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, and Wind Water Atelier cannot promise absolute security.
Your choices and rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information held by Wind Water Atelier, subject to applicable law and legitimate recordkeeping needs. You may also ask questions about how information is used or withdraw consent for optional communications.
Browser controls can be used to block or delete cookies, although parts of the website may function differently. Additional privacy rights may apply depending on where you live.
Children’s privacy
The website and services are not directed to children under 13, and Wind Water Atelier does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information may contact Wind Water Atelier to request deletion.

Terms of Use
Last updated: September 1, 2026
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the Wind Water Atelier website, relationship chart, reports, consultations, communications, and related services. By using the website or services, you acknowledge these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use them.
Nature of services
Wind Water Atelier provides Feng Shui, Four Pillars (BaZi), Chinese astrology, and related educational and consultation services. These are traditional interpretive practices offered for personal insight, reflection, and planning. They are not exact sciences and do not guarantee any particular result.
The Disclaimer is incorporated into these Terms and explains important limitations on the services.
Your responsibilities
You agree to provide information that is accurate to the best of your knowledge and to use all content and recommendations responsibly. You remain responsible for your decisions, actions, relationships, property, safety, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, leases, association rules, building codes, and professional requirements.
You may not use the website or services for an unlawful purpose; attempt to interfere with their operation; misrepresent your identity; copy or commercially exploit protected content without permission; or use a report to harass, discriminate against, or make decisions for another person without appropriate authority.
Consultations, scope, and payment
The scope, timing, fees, deliverables, and any rescheduling or cancellation terms for a paid consultation will be communicated before work begins and may be confirmed separately in writing. A consultation is not considered booked until Wind Water Atelier confirms it. You are responsible for reviewing the agreed scope and providing requested information in a timely manner.
Birth information and reports
Four Pillars reports depend on the birth information provided. An unknown or inaccurate birth time, date, location, time zone, or daylight-saving status may affect a result. Reports are interpretive and should be considered alongside lived experience, personal judgment, and qualified professional advice where appropriate.
Intellectual property
Unless otherwise stated, the website design, written content, reports, graphics, branding, and original materials belong to Wind Water Atelier or are used with permission. Materials supplied to you are for your personal, noncommercial use. You may retain and share your own report privately, but you may not reproduce, resell, publish, modify, or create commercial products from Wind Water Atelier materials without prior written permission.
Third-party services and links
The website may use or link to third-party services, including website hosting, scheduling, analytics, maps or location search, communications, and payment tools. Wind Water Atelier does not control third-party availability, security, content, or practices. Your use of those services may also be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
No warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website and services are provided “as is” and “as available.” Wind Water Atelier makes no warranty that they will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely accurate, or suitable for every person, relationship, business, or property.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Wind Water Atelier and its owner will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for losses arising from decisions, actions, property changes, relationship choices, business choices, or reliance on website content, reports, consultations, recommendations, or third-party services.
Nothing in these Terms excludes a responsibility that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Wind Water Atelier and its owner from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use or misuse of the website or services, your breach of these Terms, or your infringement of another person’s rights. This provision does not require indemnification for conduct that cannot lawfully be indemnified.
Changes and severability
Wind Water Atelier may update these Terms as services change. The date above identifies the latest revision. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Disclaimer
Last updated: September 1, 2026
Wind Water Atelier provides Feng Shui, Four Pillars (BaZi), Chinese astrology, and related educational and consultation services. These traditional interpretive practices are offered for personal insight, reflection, and conversation.
Interpretive nature
Feng Shui and Four Pillars may highlight patterns, tendencies, timing, balance, and areas of attention. They are not exact sciences, and different practitioners or traditions may interpret the same information differently. No chart, report, consultation, recommendation, or suggested adjustment can predict or guarantee a particular event, relationship outcome, financial result, health result, or other outcome.
Relationships and personal decisions
No chart can determine whether a relationship will succeed or fail. Relationship reports are intended to encourage understanding and constructive conversation, not to tell anyone whether to begin, continue, or end a relationship. You remain solely responsible for your choices, decisions, and actions.
Not professional advice
Website content, reports, consultations, emails, and recommendations are provided for informational and reflective purposes only. They do not constitute medical, mental-health, relationship, legal, tax, financial, investment, architectural, engineering, construction, environmental, real-estate, or other licensed professional advice. Consult an appropriately qualified professional when your situation requires one.
Feng Shui observations about a property do not replace building inspections, safety evaluations, code compliance, structural or environmental assessments, or advice from licensed property professionals.
No emergency use
Do not rely on Wind Water Atelier, Feng Shui, or Four Pillars guidance in an emergency or crisis. Contact local emergency services or an appropriately qualified professional.
No guarantees and limitation of liability
Services and content are provided in good faith and on an “as is” basis. Wind Water Atelier does not warrant that information will be complete, error-free, or suitable for every person or property. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Wind Water Atelier and its owner will not be liable for losses, damages, or claims arising from the use of or reliance on website content, reports, consultations, recommendations, or third-party links.
