Legal
Privacy policy
This Site is built and operated from Ontario, Canada, and follows Canada's federal private-sector privacy law (PIPEDA). The short version: we collect very little, and your tool data — circles, ledgers, journals, quiz profiles — never reaches our servers at all. It stays in your browser's local storage, on your device. That's not a compliance workaround; it's the actual architecture, and we think it's worth being proud of.
What we collect
- Email address: only if you voluntarily subscribe to updates. Used solely to send what you signed up for.
- Analytics: privacy-first, cookie-free analytics (e.g. Plausible or Fathom) — aggregate page-view counts, no individual tracking, no cross-site profile.
- Tool data: anything you enter into a tool on this Site (circles, ledgers, journals, tracker entries, quiz answers, saved profiles) is stored using your browser's
localStorageand never transmitted to us. We cannot see it, back it up, or recover it if you clear your browser data.
No tracking cookies, no banner
We don't use tracking cookies, so there's no cookie-consent banner to click through. If that ever changes — for example, if we add a YouTube embed or an advertising pixel — this page will be updated first, and this sentence will no longer apply.
Who processes your email
If you subscribe, your email is processed by {email provider name} under their own privacy and security practices. We do not sell, rent, or share your email with advertisers.
EMDR practitioner enquiries
If you request access to the EMDR tool, the name, credentials, email, and any message you submit are processed to review and respond to that request, stored with {form provider name} under their own privacy and security practices. This data is not sold or shared with advertisers, and you can ask us to delete it via our contact page at any time.
No ads, no data sale
Lemonade does not display third-party ads and does not sell personal data to anyone, ever.
Your rights & how to reach us
Under PIPEDA, you can ask what personal information (such as a subscribed email) we hold about you, correct it, or ask us to delete it. Contact privacy@thelemonadeguide.com for any such request; we aim to respond within a week. To clear your locally-stored tool data yourself at any time, use a tool's built-in "reset" option, or clear your browser's site data for this domain.
