Privacy Policy
This page is maintained by the operator of The Reflection Method to explain what the app collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you.
Last updated: 2026
Summary
The Reflection Method is designed to respect your privacy. The assessment and reflection tools do not require an account, and your quiz answers are processed entirely in your browser. We do not sell personal information, use advertising trackers, or run third-party analytics on this site.
What we collect
- Quiz answers and readings. Your responses to the reflection questions are used only to compute your reading in the browser. They are not sent to our servers, linked to an identity, or stored permanently.
- Optional preferences. Some tools — such as the crisis-region selector, the grounding audio settings, and the after-discard coping plan — may save small preferences in your browser's local storage so the page remembers your choices between visits. You can clear these at any time through your browser settings.
- Contact messages. The contact form opens your own email client using a
mailto:link. We do not receive or store the message unless you choose to send it.
Cookies and session data
A single encrypted, HTTP-only session cookie is set only if you use the optional editing gate. It stores only whether the gate is unlocked and does not contain personal information. The cookie expires automatically.
We do not use advertising or analytics cookies.
How we use information
Any information handled by the app is used only to operate the features you interact with directly:
- Computing your reflection reading from your quiz answers.
- Remembering your preferred crisis-region, audio, or coping-plan settings.
- Keeping the optional editing gate unlocked during your session.
What we do not do
- We do not require you to create an account or provide an email to use the tools.
- We do not store quiz answers or readings on our servers.
- We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties.
- We do not use third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts.
Data retention and your choices
Quiz answers exist only while you are using the assessment and disappear as soon as you close or refresh the page. Saved preferences remain in your browser's local storage until you clear them.
You can remove stored preferences at any time by clearing site data for this domain in your browser settings. You can also use the site in a private or incognito browsing window if you prefer that nothing be stored locally.
Sensitive content
This site invites reflection on relationships and emotional health. Please use it in a private setting and be aware that anyone with access to your device may be able to see what is on your screen. If you are in distress or concerned about your safety, please reach out to a qualified professional or use the crisis support page.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the app changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
