Session Recordings
We record Akashic Records readings for quality, accuracy, and Client reference. Recordings are shared with the Client and stored securely. You may opt out of being recorded at any time, including at the start of a session. We do not record intuitive coaching sessions or the weekly coaching sessions within the 6-Week Intensive. Clients may record their own sessions only with our prior consent. See Section 11 for retention.
Session Notes
We take written notes during or after sessions, stored securely in Google Drive or in written form. See Section 11 for retention.
Written Integration Documents
Following an Akashic Records reading, we may prepare a written integration document, which is sent directly to the Client by email.
Client Portal Information
Clients enrolled in the 6-Week Intensive are provided a private, password-protected page on our Website containing session dates, scheduling links, and contact information. We do not store session content, reading material, or integration documents on the client portal.
When we refer to "Personal Information" in this Privacy Policy, we mean both Order Information and Device Information.

- Provide and deliver the Services you book

Third-Party Services We Use
We use trusted third-party platforms to operate our business. These services may collect and process information on our behalf, subject to their own privacy policies:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Calendly | Appointment booking and reminders |
| Stripe | Payment processing, including recurring payments |
| Klarna | Optional buy-now-pay-later payment method, where selected by the Client |
| Zoom | Video sessions and recording |
| WhatsApp (Meta) | Between-session messaging for Intensive Clients |
| Communication, secure document storage, and client records | |
| WordPress | Website hosting, platform, and client portal pages |
| Brevo | Email newsletter and marketing list management |
| Instagram / Facebook (Meta) | Social media presence and communication |
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers.
Where you choose Klarna as a payment method, Klarna processes your information under its own privacy policy and may perform its own assessment of your eligibility. We do not receive or store that information.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
- With service providers listed above, strictly for the purposes of operating our business
- When legally required, such as in response to a subpoena, search warrant, court order, or other lawful request
- To protect rights and safety, including to prevent fraud, enforce our agreements, resolve a payment dispute, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Honesté Lux LLC, our Clients, or others
- Where necessary to prevent imminent harm to you or another person
- With your explicit consent, such as when you authorize us to share a testimonial publicly
Confidentiality of Sessions
Information shared during your session is treated as strictly confidential. We will not disclose, publish, or share session content without your express written consent, except as required by law or where necessary to prevent imminent harm.
This obligation continues after our working relationship concludes.
Payment Disputes
If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute with your financial institution, we may be required to provide that institution with evidence of the Services delivered — including booking dates, session dates, and records of communication — in order to respond. We share only what is necessary to respond to the dispute and do not disclose session content.
Testimonials
If you submit a testimonial, we will not publish it without your express consent. Consent is requested separately at the time and is not granted by booking a session or agreeing to our Terms.
We will confirm with you in advance whether you would like it shared:
- With your initials
- With your full name
- With your first name only
- Anonymously
- Not at all
You may withdraw consent for testimonial use at any time by emailing us, and we will remove the testimonial from public display within a reasonable time.
Email Marketing
If you opt in to receive emails from us, your email address and name are stored and processed through Brevo, our email marketing provider, subject to Brevo's own privacy policy.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in every email we send, or by emailing us directly. Unsubscribe requests are honored promptly.
We do not send marketing emails to individuals who have not provided consent. Booking a session does not subscribe you to our newsletter.
Every marketing email we send includes our business postal address, as required by law.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use the following technologies to collect Device Information:
- Cookies — data files placed on your device that often include an anonymous unique identifier
- Log files — files that track actions on our Website and collect data including IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps
- Web beacons, tags, and pixels — electronic files used to record information about how you browse our Website
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect Website functionality. We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Client portal pages are password-protected, and portal credentials are unique to each Client.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Minors
Our 6-Week 1:1 Intuitive Intensive and 60-Minute Intuitive Coaching Sessions are available only to individuals aged 18 and over.
Akashic Records readings may be provided to an individual under 18 only with the express written consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to our Client Service Agreement on the minor's behalf. Where we provide Services to a minor with such consent, we collect only the information necessary to deliver the Service, and the consenting parent or guardian may exercise the rights in Section 12 on the minor's behalf.
Except as described above, our Website and Services are not intended for individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a minor without proper consent, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.
Data Breach
In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and any relevant authorities as required by applicable law, without undue delay.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
Although most changes are likely to be minor, we may update this Privacy Policy from time to time at our sole discretion. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy reflects the most recent revision. We encourage visitors to frequently check this page for any changes. Material changes will be communicated through our Website or via email to active Clients.
Your continued use of our Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
