Privacy & Trust
Your Information, Handled With Care
Learn how personal information is collected, used, stored, and protected while you explore design guidance, resources, and The Vital Lux Method.
Privacy That Respects Your Home, Your Story, and Your Choices
The Vital Lux Method, created by Gretshen Angeles, helps homeowners approach design from the inside out—beginning with the life they want to live, then translating that clarity into intentional, functional, and personal spaces. Respect for individuality is central to that work, including the way personal information is handled. Whether you are reading the Journal, downloading a planning resource, joining an email list, watching educational content, or reaching out about your home, information is collected only to support a useful, thoughtful experience. Gretshen Angeles is committed to using personal data responsibly, limiting access to what is necessary, protecting it with reasonable safeguards, and communicating clearly about how it is used. This policy explains those practices so you can make informed choices about your information at every step.
