Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 13, 2026

Breaking the Spell respects your privacy and is committed to handling your personal information thoughtfully and responsibly.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website, join the newsletter, participate in The Five Codes experience, book a session, purchase an offering, or otherwise interact with Breaking the Spell. By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described below.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

  • your name
  • email address
  • contact information
  • information submitted through forms or questionnaires
  • booking and appointment information
  • information related to purchases or payments
  • messages or inquiries you send
  • newsletter preferences
  • responses you choose to provide through interactive experiences such as The Five Codes

We may also automatically receive certain technical information when you visit the website, such as your browser type, device type, approximate location based on IP address, pages visited, referring website, and general usage information.

The Five Codes Interactive Experience

If you participate in The Five Codes, you may be invited to reflect on personal experiences, patterns, relationships, identity, work, or other areas of your life.

Your responses are intended to support your own reflection and are not medical, psychological, diagnostic, or therapeutic assessments.

Depending on how the experience is configured, your responses may be processed temporarily to create your personal Code Map. Your reflection responses are not permanently stored by Breaking the Spell. Only your name and email address are saved when you subscribe.

How We Use Your Information

We may use the information you provide to:

  • deliver requested resources or interactive experiences
  • send newsletters, essays, teachings, or other content you have chosen to receive
  • communicate with you about appointments or services
  • process purchases and bookings
  • respond to questions or inquiries
  • provide and improve our website, offerings, and client experience
  • understand how visitors interact with our website
  • maintain website security and prevent misuse
  • comply with applicable legal or financial obligations

We do not use information you provide through reflective exercises to diagnose you or make automated decisions about your eligibility for services.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to the Breaking the Spell newsletter or another email list, you may receive emails containing essays, teachings, business updates, resources, or information about offerings.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included at the bottom of marketing emails. Transactional emails related to appointments, purchases, or services may still be sent when necessary.

Payments

If you purchase a service or offering, payment information is processed by our third-party payment provider, Stripe. Breaking the Spell does not receive or store your complete credit or debit card number. Stripe collects and processes your payment information according to its own privacy policy and security practices. You can review Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

Scheduling and Bookings

When you book an Intuitive Life Reading, Discovery Call, coaching session, or other appointment, your information is processed through our scheduling and customer relationship management platform, FEA Create. This information may include your name, email address, appointment details, payment confirmation, and any information you choose to provide during booking. FEA Create handles this information according to its own privacy policy and security practices.

Cookies and Analytics

This website and its hosting platform may use cookies or similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website, remember preferences, improve performance, and measure traffic. The platform (FEA Create) may collect general usage information such as:

  • IP address
  • browser and device information
  • pages visited
  • time spent on pages
  • referral source
  • general interaction with the website

We do not currently run dedicated third-party analytics or advertising tools (such as Google Analytics or Meta Pixel) on this website. You may be able to control or disable cookies through your browser settings.

Third-Party Service Providers

Breaking the Spell relies on trusted third-party providers to operate different parts of the business. The primary platforms we use are:

  • FEA Create — website hosting, email marketing, newsletter distribution, scheduling, customer relationship management, forms, and interactive experiences
  • Stripe — payment processing

These providers may process limited personal information only as necessary to provide their services. Their handling of information is governed by their respective privacy policies and security practices.

Substack and Other External Platforms

Breaking the Spell may publish writing or distribute newsletter content through platforms such as Substack. If you subscribe, comment, interact, or create an account directly through a third-party platform, that platform may separately collect information from you under its own privacy policy. Links from this website to third-party services do not mean Breaking the Spell controls how those services process your information.

Sharing Your Information

Breaking the Spell does not sell your personal information. Information may be shared with service providers when reasonably necessary to operate the website and business. Information may also be disclosed if required by law, legal process, or when reasonably necessary to protect the safety, security, rights, or property of Breaking the Spell or others.

Client Confidentiality

Information shared privately during coaching, intuitive sessions, or other client services is treated with care and discretion. However, this Privacy Policy should not be interpreted as creating the same legal confidentiality relationship that exists between a patient and certain licensed healthcare or mental-health professionals. If a service has its own client agreement, informed consent, or confidentiality terms, those terms may provide additional information.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to maintain appropriate business and financial records, or to meet legal obligations. You may contact Breaking the Spell to request deletion of certain personal information, subject to legal, contractual, or recordkeeping requirements.

Your Privacy Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may give you rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:

  • request access to personal information held about you
  • request correction of inaccurate information
  • request deletion of certain information
  • withdraw consent to marketing communications
  • request information about how your data is used
  • opt out of certain forms of data processing where applicable

To make a privacy-related request, contact hello@breakingthespells.com. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures are used to help protect personal information. However, no website, online service, email transmission, or digital storage system can guarantee complete security. Please use discretion when submitting sensitive personal information online.

Children's Privacy

Breaking the Spell's website and services are intended for adults and are not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this website, please contact us so the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.

This website may contain links to third-party websites or services. Breaking the Spell is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those third-party websites. Please review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically as the website, services, technology, or legal requirements change. The most recent version will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
