Privacy supports judgment.

Brake Your Limit is operated by Ian Brake.

The policy covers this website, Decision Lab, Decision Councils, Strategy Chamber, Play This Out, memberships, community participation, inquiries, downloadable resources, experience records, analytics, and email communications.

The complete policy explains what is collected, why it is used, service providers, international transfers, retention, security, individual rights, and contact routes.

Decision Lab is not an emergency channel, and entries are not continuously monitored.

The tools do not ask members to provide diagnoses or other sensitive personal information. Free-text answers can nevertheless reveal health, beliefs, sexuality, trade-union membership or other specially protected information. Include only what is genuinely needed, avoid information about another person, and use a qualified professional or emergency service when the situation requires one.

Brake Your Limit does not use Decision Lab entries to diagnose people, infer protected traits or make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. Where specially protected information is knowingly processed, it is limited to a valid purpose and the applicable legal condition, such as explicit permission for an optional use, protection of vital interests in a genuine emergency where consent cannot be given, or establishment or defence of legal claims.

If you or someone else cannot stay safe, contact the local emergency service or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not wait for a Decision Lab response.

Decision Radar shows the minimum community information needed to direct attention while a Clock Decision is active.

Members may submit a display title, decision type, deadline, requested input, status, discussion link, and outcome link. Private administrative records may also contain a member name, update history, uncertainty, waiting costs, and notes. Member names and raw private responses are not included in the Radar display.

Decision Radar is intended for authorized Decision Lab members. Google Forms, Google Sheets, and Google Apps Script provide the underlying form, storage, calculation, and transfer infrastructure.

A guest application starts an editorial review. It does not promise an invitation or publication.

Guest suggestions and applications may include contact details, biography, story ideas, source links, prior coverage, and practical recording information. Invited guests may then receive a private research link so the production can check facts, understand boundaries, and prepare a better conversation.

The invited-guest page is protected by a rotatable invitation code and excluded from public navigation, the sitemap, search indexing, and public caching. The link is private, but it is not a personal account, so guests should not forward it.

Completing guest research is not permission to publish every detail supplied. Recording, quotation, attribution, and publication arrangements are handled separately. Podcast questions can be sent to podcast@brakeyourlimit.com; privacy requests can be sent to privacy@brakeyourlimit.com.

Optional analytics load only after you choose “Allow analytics.”

If accepted, Google Analytics helps Brake Your Limit understand which pages, links, assessments, and inquiry routes are useful. The site records broad interaction events rather than the content of your decisions, forms, or messages. If you decline, the Google analytics tag is not loaded.

Your choice is stored in your browser. You can change it at any time through “Analytics settings” in the website footer or clear it through your browser controls. Necessary security, hosting, and form-delivery processing may still occur so the website can function.
