Privacy notice · Updated August 25, 2026

Private reflection should stay private by default.

This notice describes the current public website and temporary Member Preview—not future accounts, saved progress, community, payment, coaching, or clinical features.

Current audience

The current website and self-guided experiences are intended for adults 18 and older. Adolescent experiences are not currently offered, and the site is not directed to children.

What happens in Starting Point

The fourteen Starting Point selections are evaluated in your browser. GOATED does not receive or store the raw question-by-question answers or ask you to enter written responses. If you choose the optional Member Preview link, four broad result categories—your focus, strength, need state, and time commitment—are placed in that link so the next page can personalize itself. Those categories may remain in your browser history and may be processed in ordinary hosting request metadata. Do not use the optional personalized link if you do not want those categories included in a URL.

Temporary Member Preview access

Selected lessons, scenarios, and integration demonstrations sit behind a one-button preview gate. Pressing the button stores a fixed first-party cookie named goated_member_preview in your browser for up to 30 days. It records only that the preview gate was entered. The cookie is marked HTTP-only, Secure when served over HTTPS, SameSite Lax, and available across this website. It does not contain your name, email, assessment result, or lesson progress.

What GOATED does not currently collect through the website

GOATED has not added account registration, payment forms, advertising trackers, behavioral analytics, saved journals, saved lesson or scenario reflections, saved program progress, or a public community. Interactive tools otherwise run in the open page and reset when you refresh or leave.

Hosting and technical operation

Vercel hosts the website and processes requests needed to deliver, secure, and troubleshoot it. This may include request paths, dates and times, browser or device information, network information such as an IP address, response status, security signals, and technical logs. Vercel handles that information under its applicable terms, privacy materials, project configuration, and retention practices. GOATED uses this technical information only for site delivery, security, troubleshooting, and reliability.

How information is shared

GOATED does not currently sell personal data or use it for targeted advertising. Technical information is processed by the hosting provider to operate the site. GOATED may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or complete a business transaction subject to appropriate safeguards.

Email, social contact, and external resources

If you email GOATED or contact a linked social account, the service you choose will process the information you send under its own terms. Support links lead to independent organizations whose services and privacy practices are separate from GOATED. Do not use email or social messages for emergencies or send sensitive details you do not want handled through those services.

Retention, security, and choices

The preview cookie expires after up to 30 days and can be removed sooner through your browser controls. GOATED does not promise that internet transmission or hosting is risk-free, but it limits the current experience to the information needed to operate it. Hosting and communications providers may retain technical or message information under their own configurations and policies.

Questions and privacy requests

You may ask what information GOATED has about you, request correction or deletion where applicable, or raise a privacy concern by emailing goatedmindset365@gmail.com. Because the current website does not create user accounts and may not identify technical records by name, GOATED may have little or no information it can reasonably connect to a requester. This inbox is not monitored for crisis response.

Future features and changes

Saved profiles, enrollment records, journals, analytics, payments, community features, coaching, or other personalized services will require a new data review and an updated notice before launch. Material changes will be identified by revising the date at the top of this page and using additional notice when appropriate.
