PRIVACY

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 30, 2026

The Healing Lounge is a place for honesty, so this page is written plainly. It explains what information the site collects, what stays private to you, and what other visitors can see.

Information you provide

If you create a member account, this may include:

  • Your first name
  • Your email address
  • Authentication information handled through our authentication provider
  • Journals, letters, reflections, goals, gratitude entries and mood entries you write
  • Favorites and recently played music
  • Account settings

Guests can explore public areas of the site without creating an account.

Your private Healing Journey content

Private journals, private reflections, goals, gratitude entries and other private Healing Journey content are intended to remain private to you as the member who wrote them.

The site owner does not use the Owner Dashboard to read members' private journals. Owner tools are built around counts and overall activity, not personal writing.

Resume and welcome-back information

When you are signed in, The Healing Lounge may save simple details so it can help you pick up where you left off — for example your last song, your playback position in that song, the last healing room you visited, and your last active time.

Community and public information

Anything you intentionally submit to a community area may be visible to other visitors, including:

  • Community Lounge posts
  • Replies to other members
  • Community song recommendations
  • Prayer requests
  • Prayer comments and encouragement
  • Testimonies and other content you choose to share

Choosing “Anonymous” hides your chosen display identity from other visitors where that feature is offered. Please do not assume that any internet activity is technically untraceable, and share only what you are comfortable sharing.

Analytics

The Healing Lounge uses limited operational information to understand how the site is being used. Examples may include:

  • Room visits
  • Song starts
  • Use of Find Me a Song
  • Whether the How's Your Heart check-in was used
  • General signed-in versus guest activity

How's Your Heart does not store which feeling you chose. Only the fact that the check-in was used is recorded. The Lounge Pulse view is intended for overall operational trends, not detailed personal surveillance.

Live presence

The Lounge may temporarily know that an active browser session is in a general room, so the owner can see approximate live activity. This does not represent unique people — multiple tabs or devices may be counted separately, and it is not stored as a personal history.

Service providers

The site runs on third-party infrastructure, including Supabase for authentication, database and file storage, and website hosting and delivery providers. These providers process technical information (such as network requests) as part of operating the service.

Your choices and controls

  • Update your first name
  • Export supported account data
  • Delete supported private account data through Settings

Security

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect your information, including authentication and access rules that keep private content scoped to your account. No online system can promise absolute security.

Children

Accounts and community participation are intended for ages 13 and older. Please read our Age & Safety page for details.
