COLLECTION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Once you have been in contact with Anne Marie, with respect to the Personal Information Anne Marie collects, she may retain and use your email and first name for secretarial records and for purposes to communicate with you.
​Our Charismata limits the retention of personal information to the least amount of time necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.
​
The Personal Information that is collected by Our Charismata can include, only by your choice:
Your first name
Your email address
Your contact phone number
Your country, time zone, or state of residence
Your Zoom or Skype profile name, when appropriate
​
The international, secure PayPal platform reflects the following personal information: your first name, email, and phone number.
USE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
​Our Charismata does not sell, lease, rent, or share its client information in any way; including third parties.
​
Our Charismata does not subscribe you to any mailing lists, newsletters etc.
​
Anne Marie at Our Charismata, upon having your phone number, does not call you outside of a mutually agreed upon appointment date and time.
Your personal information remains confidential, and is secure in remaining private.
Your session is entirely confidential and is not recorded by Anne Marie.
Anne Marie does not take notes during sessions. That means there are no files about your personal session information laying around.
No one will be given access to the content of our sessions, or the knowledge of whether or not you are, or were, a client.
The only exception about relaying to others that you were a client is by your freedom of choice, or when you submit a testimonial/review and you decide to include any part of your name.
THE ONE EXCEPTION TO CONFIDENTIALITY IS DURING A CRISIS
Anne Marie at Our Charismata may contact a Crisis / Emergency helpline, providing them with your contact information, if during a session you have relayed that you are feeling suicidal (a harm to yourself or others).
The necessity to breach confidentiality also applies to clients in a Non Disclosure Agreement who have expressed that they are a harm to themselves, others, or are themselves in imminent harm.
For any emergencies please call your Emergency number appropriate to your country (911 for instance). Anne Marie at Our Charismata does not offer Emergency Services, nor is a Suicide hotline. See the SUPPORT CENTER page for additional assistance.
Our Charismata, after having established contact with you as a client or potential client, may contact you with follow-up information in an email; only with your permission.
​A CLEAR VIEW APPROACH
Anne Marie purposefully does not conduct a search to gather information about you, or anyone related to you, ever; not before sessions, not in between, nor after sessions. For instance, online, through social media or otherwise. If Anne Marie did that, or anyone did it for her, Anne Marie's work would more difficult, or next to impossible. This is because Anne Marie must have a "clear view" a "clean slate" in order to actually have her heightened intuitive senses function, and to "meet you as you" during the sessions. Otherwise, everything would be clouded and useless.
​
In some occasions, it is only natural that Anne Marie does have knowledge of some aspect of you, be it cursory, or more in-depth. Anne Marie does have to go on LinkedIn and Twitter from time to time, and has been living on planet earth, you may even be a close family member; it still holds that all efforts are made to enter into the Session with the skillful approach of a "very clear mind, freed of perceptions of you given by worldly inputs," (that is as best as she can describe it at this time).
​It may seem counterintuitive and it is difficult to describe, but truly, this is how Anne Marie best functions as a provider of these Services.

CLEARANCES, TRANSPARENCY & NON-DISCRIMINATION
Most of the following are what Anne Marie has been asked to provide from previous employers. Being self-employed, it is as equally important to Anne Marie that you know she holds herself to the same standards. ​
-
Our Charismata supports Mental Health Awareness.
-
Anne Marie chooses a lifestyle that excludes drugs and alcohol.
-
2023: Anne Marie has "No Record." Her Pennsylvania Criminal History Background Check is Clear.
Anne Marie is justified in maintaining measures of privacy and protection for herself, family, and friends as this tends to be a highly controversial and discriminated profession within the majority of contexts.
Anne Marie will not tolerate abuses or even hints of discrimination of any nature, even underhanded, towards herself, or towards any who know her by association in this moment, nor in any future circumstance, due to the history and presence of discrimination and prejudice towards a person proclaiming these professional services.
Anne Marie practices a peaceful and honest profession, and she welcomes you to become aware of the Truest application now, and throughout history.
Anne Marie is sincere in her vocation, stands by her word of non-fraudulence, authenticity, Ethical Standards, as well as respect for all backgrounds, terms of reverence, and the notices within this Privacy Policy.
Anne Marie's morals in practice, and in Living, pertain to upholding human and animal rights, human dignity and welfare, non-discrimination, nonjudgment, and the inherent respect due to all Living beings.
She would not publicly represent herself, her family, and her lineage otherwise.
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."
United Nations | Universal Declaration of Human Rights Accessed August 2021.
Anne Marie welcomes those who would otherwise react with judgment and discrimination to become acquainted with the content accessible on this website www.ourcharismata.com, to perhaps assist in fostering a more informed relationship to the professions of Animal Communicator and Specialized Spiritual Direction Service modalities.
Feel welcomed to contact Anne Marie, especially if you find you may be in her presence and would like more clarity on any related topic; to be a mutually respectful exchange.​
BOUNDARIES
Additionally, Anne Marie does not use her insight faculties "at all times," which has been expressed as a concern by people who learn of her profession. Doing so would be a breach in personal privacy and freedom of the other, and quite overwhelming for Anne Marie.
Unless she is specifically "at work and has been given permission," Anne Marie otherwise specifically tunes out of the heightened intuitive senses as she navigates Life amidst family, friends, neighbors, and the general public.
Anne Marie has established clear lines of the appropriate place and time for providing her services.
Anne Marie will not ever walk up to a stranger, unsolicited, without permission, and speak to that person freely relating to Specialized Spiritual Direction Services, and Animal Communication as it pertains to his/her/their Life and circumstances.
As it ought to be a universal practice, Anne Marie adheres to first asking for permission to convey services to a party showing active interest. Your permission is the premise of the process of booking a session, and engaging in a session, with Anne Marie.
FRIENDSHIPS WITH CLIENTS?
To maintain ethical boundaries, Anne Marie does not engage in forming friendships with clients.
For example, her practice does not include friendship-based regular / daily email correspondence / accepting e-cards or presents between recurring sessions, or other session styles.
Consideration of a no-more-sessions-friendship may happen after at least one year has passed since the final session.
One example of a respectful intention behind this choice is to support your own personal development and to prevent any possible dependency on the services that Our Charismata provides. Anne Marie supports you getting to know the voice of your own intuition, and to grow in Trust that is (most often) superior to, and more fundamental than what any session provides. Continued Self-awareness, Self-reflection, for all involved, is integrated into the hopes and intention within the services of Our Charismata.
When you are attending to your own interior work independently on a regular basis, this arranges for the Our Charismata sessions to be an eloquent accompaniment; a "checks and balances" for you. The services of Our Charismata are never intended to be a substitute for your ongoing personalized discernment and well-being modalities.
An important respectful reason for this decision is also to keep the boundary clear - at all times - as a "therapeutic professional," for the benefit of all parties involved.
Please see more on this topic in the Ethical Conduct Guidelines page.
