Privacy Policy

Emotional Truth Diaries (etdiaries.com) is a storytelling website with a protected online Grimoire membership. We use only the information needed to provide the site, process a membership through Paddle, and keep the private Archive secure.

Grimoire membership payments are processed by Paddle, our merchant of record. Paddle collects and handles payment card information, billing details, tax, receipts and subscription management under its own privacy policy. Emotional Truth Diaries does not receive or store payment card details.

To open the private Archive after a purchase, this website processes the email address and transaction reference supplied by Paddle solely to verify that the membership is active and to create a protected browser session. The session is stored in a security cookie. We do not use this information to build a marketing list through the Archive.

If you save a Grimoire reading, its history is kept in the browser on your own device. It is not copied into a central customer-reading database by this website. You can remove that browser data through your browser settings.

When you request a personal Grimoire reading, the question you type, your selected cards and the chosen reading settings are sent securely to the OpenAI API to generate the response. Do not include names, contact details, health information or other sensitive personal information in your question. Emotional Truth Diaries does not add these questions or responses to a central customer-reading database.

OpenAI states that API inputs and outputs are not used to train its models by default. API abuse-monitoring logs may be retained for up to 30 days unless a different legally required period applies. The request is sent with storage disabled for the generated response.

This website contains links to Paddle, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Etsy. These are external platforms with their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for data practices of those platforms.

This website is hosted on Netlify. Netlify may collect server access logs (IP addresses, request times, page paths) for security and performance purposes. See Netlify's Privacy Policy for details.

This website uses Google Fonts to load typefaces. When your browser requests a font, Google may log the request. This is a standard web practice. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
