How can I ensure the confidentiality of my email mediumship session?
Protect the confidentiality of your email mediumship session by using a private email account, checking the recipient address carefully, and sharing only the personal information needed for your questions. Before sending your message, review the service’s privacy practices, avoid shared devices or unsecured networks, and store or delete the reading according to your own privacy preferences.
Confidentiality in an email mediumship session depends on both the provider’s data-handling practices and the way the reading is exchanged, stored and accessed. Before beginning, confirm what information is collected, who can access it, how it is retained, and what steps are available if you want the correspondence removed.
Read the provider’s privacy notice and terms carefully. Look for specific information about:
- the personal details required to arrange and deliver the session;
- whether your email, questions and reading may be reviewed by staff or service providers;
- how your information is stored and protected;
- whether information is shared for administrative, payment or technical purposes;
- how long session correspondence is retained; and
- how to request access, correction or deletion where applicable.
A privacy notice explains general data practices, but it may not answer every question about the reading itself. Ask the service directly whether your message will be used for training, quality review, testimonials or promotional material. Do not assume that an anonymised example is acceptable to you: ask whether your permission will be requested before any part of your reading is reused. If you are contacting Elizabeth Rose Psychics, these are reasonable points to clarify before submitting a detailed account of your circumstances.
Limit the content of the session to what is relevant to your questions. Mediumship does not require you to provide passwords, payment authentication codes, identity-document numbers, full financial details or other information that could be used for account access or fraud. If a relationship, medical or workplace issue is relevant, describe it in general terms unless a more precise detail is genuinely needed for your question. You can also use initials or non-identifying descriptions when discussing other people.
Remember that an email can contain more than the words in the message. Subject lines, sender details, attachments, forwarded copies and email headers may reveal information about you or other people. Use a neutral subject line, check attachments for hidden personal data, and remove unnecessary details from documents before sending them. If the reading is delivered as an attachment or downloadable file, consider whether it will remain in your email account, device backups or document folders.
Consider confidentiality beyond the initial exchange. Decide who, if anyone, should be permitted to read the session. Forwarding the message can expose the full thread, including your original questions and contact details, so copy only the relevant text if you need to discuss part of the reading. Printed copies should be kept where other household members, visitors or colleagues cannot access them. If you no longer need the correspondence, delete it from the relevant folders and review any saved copies or backups that you control.
Where a session concerns another person, protect that person’s privacy as well as your own. Avoid sending their contact details, private correspondence or identifying information unless there is a clear reason to do so. A mediumship reading is not a substitute for permission to disclose someone else’s confidential information.
No email communication can be treated as completely risk-free. Messages may pass through systems outside the provider’s direct control, and recipients cannot always retract a message once it has been sent. For particularly sensitive matters, ask whether a more suitable secure communication method is available and obtain clear instructions before sharing the details. If the confidentiality arrangements do not meet your expectations, provide less information or choose not to proceed.
Keep a written record of any confidentiality preferences you communicate, such as a request not to use your reading for promotional purposes or a request for deletion after delivery. A clear request helps establish what you expect, although the provider may need to retain limited records where required for legitimate administrative, legal or payment purposes. The relevant privacy notice or direct response from the service should explain those limits.
Confidentiality is not the same as legal privilege. An email mediumship session should not automatically be treated like a conversation with a solicitor or healthcare professional, where specific confidentiality rules may apply. Check the provider’s privacy notice and terms to understand how your correspondence is handled, and do not include information that would create unnecessary legal, financial or personal risk if disclosed.
If your circumstances involve a dispute, safeguarding concern or sensitive professional matter, treat the reading as private correspondence rather than a legally protected record. Use the provider’s stated contact method for any confidentiality questions before sending the session request, and retain a copy of the relevant privacy information for your records.
