The security of your data is very important to us, and we work hard to secure it. We have implemented adequate technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data. Some of the steps we have taken to secure your data include:

Only a nickname is sufficient to help us personalize our conversation with you.
We use pseudonymised identifiers to protect your data and identity.
No human eavesdrops during your conversation with the TherapyBot.
The TherapyBot will always check if it has understood you correctly before progressing.
We use algorithms that irreversibly redact any inadvertent personal identifiers entered in English.
You can opt-out at any time using the “reset my data” feature available in the App settings.
We adhere to the 7 key principles set out by GDPR (see here).
We perform Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) for personal data processing.

Our systems are secured with role-based access, strong passwords and two-step verification.
We enable endpoint security in all staff systems.

How does the Artificial Intelligence chatbot work and is it safe to use?

At My Daily Therapy, we use proprietary Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing/Understanding (NLP/NLU) algorithms (“AI”) to understand your messages. NLP/NLU algorithms are classification techniques that are used to understand what you write. This allows the AI to maintain a conversation with you and guide you to appropriate resources. Our values require that our AI used within the App is transparent, trusted, safe and privacy protecting. All the AI used in our Apps are “FIXED” or “CLOSED”, and all chatbot responses to the user are created with clinical input and subjected to detailed safety testing before being deployed. There are no generative (those that 'create' the response to the user on the fly) or adaptive models (i.e. those that continually adapt or learn every time on their own) in use. The algorithms run at conversational nodes within a decision-tree structure.

The primary purpose of the AI-based processing is

to provide an interactive safe-by-design approach to converse and journal via text with the chatbot.
to detect and retain limited context from your messages to personalize and provide empathetic and safe conversations.
to detect at-risk situations, such as any SOS, self-harm and abuse triggers, so as to signpost users to clinically validated supportive resources and helplines.

My Daily Therapy complies with UK NHS Digital’s DCB 0129 clinical risk management standards to ensure a safe-by-design approach to our AI-based services.

How long do we retain your data including personal data?

We have built proprietary algorithms that detect personal identifiers, that you may voluntarily submit in English during your conversation with TherapyBot. These detected identifiers get irreversibly removed within 24 hours within our system.

We may retain one copy of your data even after your subscription ends or Institution contract ends if it is reasonably necessary. This could be in any of the following situations:

to comply with applicable legal and statutory requirements;
at the request of a returning subscriber;
to respond to your requests
based on contractual obligations with your Institution;
in our backup for a time-bound period;
to fulfill processing that is in our legitimate interest.

Where not specified we retain your data for a maximum of 10 years since the last update and as per our internal information retention policies.

Your emergency contact information, if any provided, will be deleted after fifteen (15) days at the end of the My Daily Therapy emotional well-being professional subscription. If you renew the subscription within those fifteen (15) days, the emergency contact information will not be deleted.

You can also, at any point of time, delete all your conversation data and any emergency contact information provided by using the “reset my data” feature available in the App settings. Refer here in our policy for more details.

International transfer of personal data outside of the country you reside in or are currently located

You understand and agree that we may transfer, store and process your submitted data to a third-party processor. These processors may be based in countries other than the country where you reside. These could be countries where data protection laws may be less stringent than those from the originating country. We take additional steps in an effort to ensure our international transfer of data is consistent with applicable data protection laws.

Where we transfer data from the European Economic Area (EEA), Switzerland, and/or the United Kingdom we use appropriate safeguards. This includes use of EU / UK Standard Contractual Clauses and UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) within the Data Processing Agreements.

Minimal data may be transferred across My Daily Therapy company locations to provide our Services. We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect such transfers.

If you have additional questions about our international transfers of personal data, please contact us at Mydailytherapyapp@gmail.com.
