This page covers The Honest Intake: its sales and checkout page, the app at intake.remarriageroadmap.com, and the emails and texts we send about it. It goes with our Terms of Use.
Your answers stay with you.
We don't keep a database of answers, and we never see yours. Your answers live on your phone, and in the link you send your partner. Our customer system keeps one small record of your purchase: that each of you agreed and finished, and the date and time it was logged. That record never includes your answers, and your partner can't see it. If the first of you to finish adds email addresses at the end and taps Send, we keep only those addresses, to send you both a few emails. Never your answers or your map. Like most websites, our pages count visits.
When you buy, our customer system also keeps your name, email, phone and purchase, and Stripe processes your card. We see your answers only if you show us. The details follow.
The Honest Intake is a self-guided couples coaching tool by Assael Romanelli, PhD, and Galit Romanelli, MA, run by The Romanelli Group LLC ("we", "us"), 114 Partree Rd, Cherry Hill, NJ 08003, [email protected]. It is coaching, not therapy, and it creates no clinical or medical record. What we hold about you, including what our providers keep for us, is stored and handled in the United States, wherever you are. Google Fonts and Cloudflare send their files from the server nearest you, which may be outside the United States.
Your answers, and the name you give (any name you like), live on your phone (section 5) and in the app's invite, backup and combined map links, in the part after the # sign, which browsers don't send to websites. They also go into anything you make: a QR code, saved file, picture, report, email or pasted link. The invited partner's backup link, and anything made from it, also holds the first partner's answers, and the combined map link holds both. Links aren't locked: anyone who has one, or a saved file, can read what it holds. Share them only with your partner.
Your invite and backup links, your invite's QR code, and the file, report and email to yourself made from your half map can also carry the purchase's customer ID and private key, so each phone can record its seat (section 4). Like your purchase link, any of them could be used to take a seat. The combined map link never carries them.
Your partner. Apart from your name, the app shows your partner your answers only once they finish and share theirs, as our Terms of Use explain. The app can't check that their message really went out: the tap is their commitment, and the combined map opens on their phone either way. Someone who knows how could still read the invite link. Your own email address, if you type it at the end, can also ride in the invite link, so your partner's phone can fill it in to send the map back. Your partner will see it.
Copies elsewhere. The app clears the link from the address bar, but your browser history (which may sync to your other devices), the app you opened it from, and any app you copy or share it to may keep it, under their own rules. Copied links and emails sit in your clipboard, which some phones share across devices. Another app's built-in browser (like Instagram's, Facebook's or Messenger's) can see the page and the link, so use your phone's own browser. The app asks your browser and spelling and grammar add-ons not to check what you type, but your keyboard and its autocorrect may still process it, and an add-on may ignore the request.
The app builds your map, picture and report on your phone, not on our servers. As the page starts, even when you paste a link into an open tab, the app's first lines remove the # part from the address bar, so our host's page script doesn't see it. Without those lines, the app doesn't start. It never writes answers back into the address. Because our host's script runs on the same page as the app, and our host can change it without telling us, we test that nothing it sends carries answers: before launch, after every change to the page, and at least once a month. If we ever find that answers reached our host, we will fix the page, ask our host to delete them, and say so here.
If you show us your picture or report, for example on your screen during the free 40-minute assessment call, or by emailing us your report before it, we see what you share and may keep it with our call notes (section 9). Please don't send us your link or saved file when you write for help. We can help without them.
The backup file (honest-intake-results.html) holds your answers, opens your results offline, can rebuild your link, and stays wherever you save it. We never get a copy. Opened online, it loads its fonts from Google. On an iPhone, downloads often go to iCloud Drive, so check where it lands.
Your picture and your 3-page report (a PDF) are made in your phone's or computer's memory, and the app never saves them. They leave the app only if you save or send them, through your share menu (on a computer, your Downloads folder) and the app you pick, never through us. Both show many of your answers, as numbers and words, but never a private safety answer, and both look the same whatever either of you answered privately.
Answers that name physical violence, and the follow-up about what you're scared of, are private, each marked with a lock. So are typed words that clearly describe violence, or wanting to die or to hurt yourself. The app looks only for clear words, so it will miss many. Private answers stay in memory only while their screen is open. They are never saved, even on your phone, never go into any link, file, picture or report, and are never shown to your partner or sent to us or anyone else. If one is all you pick on a list, your partner sees a skip. Safety notes show on your screen only and aren't stored, but someone who can see your screen may see what you tap.
Nothing is sent without your tap. The send buttons (see section 4 of our Terms of Use) open your own email app or your share menu, with a short note and your link (on a phone with no address for the To line, the share menu), and you send it yourself, never through us. The To line holds only the addresses you typed. The app checks that each looks like an email address, never adds one, and never tells your partner when, or whether, you sent anything. If an email is too long for your email app, a shorter one opens, or your link goes on your clipboard.
Email it to myself. This button opens an email with your private link, a line on what it opens, and up to four titles you starred, with their public links and how many more are in your link (on a break, it holds your backup link). It may use your names. The To line stays empty and nothing is attached. If no email opens, you can copy it and paste it yourself. It goes through your own email provider, never through us or our customer system, and leaves your answers in your mailbox, so send it to an address only you read.
The first partner's phone may send our customer system the email addresses typed in the two boxes at the end ("[name]'s email" and "Your email (optional)"). It happens only when all of this is true:
The note holds only the typed addresses and the seat note's purchase details, never answers or a link. It goes at the tap, whether or not the email is then sent, and again only if the addresses change. The phone keeps only a short code made from them, never the addresses, so it doesn't send the same ones twice. The second partner's phone never sends an address: their boxes only fill in their own email, and we don't keep them. We use these addresses only to send you both a few emails about The Honest Intake and our programs, like the Remarriage Roadmap. None contains or mentions anyone's answers or map, or says whether the other partner started or finished.
Our customer system, GoHighLevel ("GHL", also known as LeadConnector), hosts our pages and booking calendar, takes orders, sends our emails and texts, and stores our practice sheets.
When you buy, GHL stores your name, email, phone, what you bought and when, and your ticks on the two required checkout boxes (that you agree to our Terms of Use and this Privacy Policy, and that all sales are final). It emails and texts you your private start link, which holds your customer ID and your purchase's private key, never answers. GHL keeps the key on your record, with tags for paid, finished your own half, booked the free call, and seat used twice (which alerts our team). No tag, email or reminder to the buyer is ever based on the partner's seat. GHL may record whether our emails and texts were delivered and opened, and which links were clicked, so we know they reached you. We send no marketing texts unless you separately agree. Reply STOP to stop texts, or HELP for help.
Stripe processes your card payment and holds your card and billing details. We never see or store your full card number, but we can see its type and last four digits. Stripe may use its own cookies and device information on the checkout page to prevent fraud.
The small seat record. When a partner ticks the app's agreement boxes, and again when they finish, their phone sends GHL a note: the buyer's customer ID and the purchase's private key, seat A or B, "started" or "done", the agreement version that partner accepted, and the time. Never answers. Seat A comes from the phone that opened the purchase link (normally the buyer's), seat B from the invited partner's phone, through the invite. If the buyer answers on a phone or browser that didn't open the purchase link, neither seat is recorded. A phone sends each seat note at most once. GHL saves the seat, event, agreement version and date for both seats on the buyer's contact, not on a record of the partner's own. The record shows that each of you agreed and finished, keeps each of you to one go, and shows the buyer's agreement if a charge is disputed. Neither partner can see it. We never tell one partner whether the other started or finished, and we won't tell anyone else unless the law requires it.
The addresses note (section 3) carries the purchase details, seat A, "invite", the agreement version, the time and the typed addresses. Every note also carries the phone's IP address and basic browser details, which GHL's logs may keep with it. GHL saves the addresses on the buyer's contact, and may keep the invited partner's address as a contact of its own, to email them. If we do, their own seat notes may be used to stop our reminders to them. We never use one partner's seat to email the other. The app never asks the partner for payment details.
Visits. GHL's page script counts visits, recording the page address (without the # part), your device and browser details and your IP address, with a visitor cookie and a browser storage entry. GHL may link visits to your contact record, for example if you bought on the same browser, and its servers log each page request with your IP address and browser details. The app itself sets no cookies. Our pages don't change what they do when a browser sends a "Do Not Track" signal. GHL (its visit counter), Stripe (on the checkout page) and Google (when fonts load) can collect information about your visits over time and across other websites.
Other services receive your IP address and browser details, never your answers: Google Fonts, which sends the app's fonts and also receives our site's address; GHL's file service, when you open a practice sheet (PDF); and cdnjs, a free service run by Cloudflare, which sends a small QR code program when you open a QR code or your results open and the app makes your report (that request never carries your link). QR codes are drawn on your phone, and the report's QR code holds only our booking page's address.
What you give us. If you book the free call, what you enter goes to our booking calendar on GHL. What you write to us is held by Microsoft, our email provider. A map you show us and our call notes are kept by Assael Romanelli, PhD, and Galit Romanelli, MA, on our own computer, and in our Microsoft mailbox if you email it, to prepare for and follow up the call.
The app keeps a few items in your phone's browser, with names starting hi_. It sends them to no one, apart from the notes in section 4, and they leave your phone only inside a link, file or email you make. It never saves the addresses typed at the end, your picture or your report.
GHL's visitor cookie and storage entry sit in the same browser.
Not your phone alone? The app's first screen asks whether the phone is just yours. Answer "Not just mine" and it won't save your answers on that phone while the page stays open. Keep your backup link instead, and open it on a phone that's just yours: opening it turns saving back on, and saves your answers, on the phone you open it on. After a reload, you start again from your link, with saving on. The phone still keeps hi_seat, hi_was, hi_gate and GHL's visitor items.
Clearing it. It stays until you or your browser clear it (Safari, for example, can after 7 days without a visit). To clear it, delete the website data ("cookies and site data") for intake.remarriageroadmap.com in your browser's settings. On an iPhone, open Settings, find Safari, then Advanced, then Website Data. This removes your saved place and your results from that phone, so keep your link or saved file first.
We also use what we hold to sell and deliver The Honest Intake (your link by email and text, up to three email reminders while your own half isn't finished, and an email with your handouts when you finish), to help when you write (including resending your link or resetting a seat if something breaks), to keep business, payment and tax records, and to email you about our programs, like the Remarriage Roadmap. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing doesn't affect your access.
We never sell your information, and we never use it for targeted ads. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text message opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. The companies that deliver our texts for us handle your number only to deliver them.
Apart from a disputed charge, a legal requirement or an emergency (below), we share it only to run The Honest Intake, and only with GHL, Stripe, Google Fonts, Cloudflare and Microsoft (section 4) and the companies they rely on (such as those GHL uses to deliver our emails and texts), people who help us run these systems under our instructions (such as a contractor who sets up GHL), and our accountant and lawyer, for tax records and legal advice, who keep it confidential. Each company handles what it receives under its own privacy policy. For example, Stripe uses payment details to prevent fraud across its network, and Google and Cloudflare keep logs of requests.
The app, your report and the starred list in your email to yourself link to Psychology Today's articles and its public directory of licensed couples therapists, videos on YouTube, practice sheets on GHL's file service, a page on go.potentialstate.com, our Toolkit page on potentialstate.com, the Remarriage Roadmap site and our booking calendar (at connect.potentialstate.com). Our emails link to some of these, and to our Instagram page (run by Meta). Each site you open receives your IP address and browser details, knows which page you opened, and applies its own privacy policy. Your reading list and report are chosen from your answers, so the page you open can hint at what your map suggested. Help-line numbers open your phone's dialer, and calls show in your call history. Quick Exit takes you to Google's home page, and Google can see you came from our site. remarriageroadmap.com and potentialstate.com are also ours, but this page covers The Honest Intake only.
Not offered yet. The app doesn't ask you to share your answers for research, and it sends nothing for research, to anyone. If we ever offer it, we will update this page before it starts. It will be each partner's own choice, off unless they tap yes. We would receive your numbers and taps, including your answers about sex, plus your age range, gender and roughly how long you've been together. Never your name, email, anything you typed, or your private safety answers. We may work on them with research partners, and anything we publish is group statistics only. Once answers are sent, we may not be able to find or delete them, because they would carry no name or contact details.
Wherever you live, you can ask us to tell you what we hold about you and give you a copy, correct it, delete it (except what the law requires us to keep, such as records of the sale), or stop sending you emails or texts (use the unsubscribe link, or reply STOP to a text). This includes an invited partner whose address was typed at the end. Write to [email protected]. We may ask you to confirm it's you, for example by writing from the email you bought with. We will respond within 45 days. If we can't do something, we'll tell you why, and you can ask us to look at it again. Asking won't change how we treat you. A buyer's copy of their record leaves out anything about the invited partner's seat.
We can't show, correct or delete answers you never showed us, because we never have them. If you did show us, ask and we'll delete what we kept. To delete the rest, delete your links, saved file, picture, report and any messages that hold your link, and clear the app's data from your phone (section 5). Your partner's copies are theirs, and we can't reach them.
The Honest Intake is only for adults, 18 or older. The app asks your age. If someone enters an age under 18, the app ends, and that browser keeps a small note (hi_gate) so it won't start again there. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you think someone under 18 bought or used it, write to us and we'll delete the contact record.
There is no collection of answers to steal. We don't store your answers, except a map you choose to show us and anything you send us before we delete it. Someone who took over our page could change it to collect answers from then on, so we protect our GHL account with two-step sign-in, keep the people who can edit it to a minimum, and rerun our privacy test after every change. GHL, Stripe, Microsoft, Google and Cloudflare use standard security, such as encrypted connections, for what they hold. A phone only you can open is safest. Quick Exit leaves the page fast, but it doesn't clear your browser history.
If we change this page, we'll update the date at the top. If we ever change how we handle your answers, such as offering research sharing, we'll update this page first. We won't use information we already hold in a new way without asking you first.
