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 share with me during our consultation.
What are your identifiers, and how private are they?
Your identifiers are what lets me know which one of my guests you are, and what lets me interact with you. It is your contact information (that you share to email me and to meet up), for example:
• an email address,
• your handle on the platform used for our consultation,
• potentially your phone number (only if used as a handle), and
• a name or nickname of your choice.
It also extends to any payment information showing that you have fulfilled your invoice.
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.
As for platforms, within the options DuskLens offers, you can pick whichever way you prefer to communicate, some being explicitly privacy-friendly.
I operate this way so that, if you wish to, you can remain entirely anonymous and only identified by your screen-name. In addition to this, whether you stay anonymous or not, I do not share and absolutely will never share those identifiers with anyone unless I become legally compelled, by extraordinary circumstances, to disclose a list of my guests’ contact information (that means in the context of a criminal investigation). This of course has never happened, and is ridiculously unlikely ever to.
Please also note:
if it somehow did happen, all I could communicate to the authorities involved is the basics listed above. I cannot be forced to disclose information I do not possess, which means you will always remain anonymous if you took care to be.
How confidential is what you share when we meet?
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 by a guest during a consultation (in which case I may be held liable for remaining quiet), including one towards DuskLens or myself.
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 (which 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, 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 that it is wisest to advocate for them ever more fiercely.
Stay safe, and stay yourself.
