Your data’s safety
Privacy
on my end,
on your end,
and online in between.
Not only do I offer a fully confidential service, I also personally firmly support the essential right to individual privacy both online and in material life. This page is for you to know exactly how DuskLens protects confidentiality, and also what online parts of the process I cannot control, which you must be aware are yours to best defend.
When you consult me, two types of information are necessarily involved: your identifiers, and what you choose to share during our consultation.
How private are your identifiers?
Your identifiers let me know which of DuskLens’ guests is which, and let me interact with you. This is everything you use to contact me and that lets me know how to contact you back (as well as any payment information showing that you have fulfilled your invoice): your email address, your handle on the platform used for our consultation, your phone number (if used as a handle), and a name of your choice.
You can pick freely whichever way you would like to communicate, within the options DuskLens offers, and you absolutely can remain entirely anonymous (that is to say, pseudonymous).
Payment (which goes through PayPal) might make full anonymity harder to guarantee in terms of digital paper-trail, but I have no interest in this data myself and do not access it. You are welcome and encouraged to make your PayPal transactions as anonymous as you can, as this is good practice in general.
I do not share and absolutely will never share this information with anyone, unless I become legally compelled by extraordinary circumstances to disclose a list of my guests’ contact information, that is to say in the context of a criminal investigation. This is of course ridiculously unlikely to ever happen and never has. If it ever somehow did, all I could communicate is the flimsy sum of what is listed above: I cannot be forced to disclose information I do not possess, and you will always remain anonymous if you took care to be.
How confidential is what you choose to share?
I am engaged contractually and ethically to keep the contents of our consultations a secret, and by virtue of the spiritual nature of the guidance I offer, I am obligated to keep this secret no matter the content in the same way a priest cannot be compelled to disclose what has been shared in confession. The only exception in DuskLens’ case is if a direct, criminally severe threat of imminent harm were purposefully and openly made during a consultation (in which case I may be held liable for remaining quiet), including towards me or the business itself. It goes without saying, this does not happen.
What you choose to talk about as we meet is and always will be strictly and entirely confidential. The information itself only exists in two places: the video call in which it is shared while our session is underway (that call is not recorded), and potential memory notes, which I may keep to help in the continuity of my assistance. Those notes are never digital – they cannot be hacked. They are physically locked away and inaccessible to anyone but myself, and would be destroyed if their confidentiality ever came under threat.
What about the inherent risks of an online service?
Please be careful: neither you nor I can control the confidentiality of any third-party platform used, by anyone, to have a consultation. This is why DuskLens offers several options, ranging from more accessible and popular (but less secure) to more obscure but with a much higher standard of data protection (see: consult me).
The choice is yours as to what platforms you are willing to communicate confidential information through. Please remain informed of the inherent risks, and consider protecting your online anonymity further (and in general) with digital measures like the use of privacy-minded email providers, VPNs, or TOR.
DuskLens exists to give truth and individual authenticity as much space and freedom as they need to be explored in peace. I hold confidentiality and privacy as paramount to that purpose and to basic human dignity. As they are increasingly jeopardised in our day and age, I believe it wisest to advocate for them ever more fiercely.
Stay safe, and stay yourself.
