We process your data solely for the following purposes:

To provide, support, and maintain the App and its functionalities.

To communicate with you about updates, support, or relevant notifications.
To comply with applicable legal obligations.
To conduct anonymized research, analytics, and reporting to enhance services.

It is not a clinical diagnosis or treatment service and does not replace professional healthcare. Use of the App is at your own risk, and we disclaim liability for any harm or adverse outcomes.

3. Data Disclosures
We do not sell your data. Your information may be shared with:

Trusted third-party service providers (cloud hosting, analytics, payment processors) under strict contractual obligations.
Law enforcement or legal authorities when legally required.
Research partners and institutional collaborators in anonymized, aggregated formats.
Successor entities in mergers, acquisitions, or asset transfers, all subject to applicable data protection laws.

You have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to:

Access your personal data.
Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
Delete your data, subject to legal retention obligations.
Restrict processing under certain conditions.
Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

5. Data Security & Retention

Your data is stored securely and may be transferred internationally under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Personal data retention periods generally extend up to ten years unless legal requirements demand otherwise.

6. Confidentiality & AI Safety
6.1 Confidentiality of Conversations
Interactions with the AI Therapy system (“Therapy”) are treated with strict confidentiality. However, no guarantees of absolute confidentiality are made. We reserve the right to disclose information:

When legally compelled (such as court orders).
To prevent harm or imminent danger.
To protect our legal rights.
6.2 AI Powered by ChatGPT
Our AI Therapy uses ChatGPT technology. All responses are generated by a fixed, non-adaptive system designed with safety and support as priorities. Responses are crafted with clinical input, safety-tested, and not generated on the fly. The AI is intended as a self-help tool and not a substitute for professional healthcare.

7. Security Measures
Encryption during data transfer (TLS/SSL) and at rest (AES-256).
Role-based access controls and secure servers.
Regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, and staff training.
Certifications: ISO 27001, ISO 27701, UK MHRA CE certification, and compliance with GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, and CPRA.
Note: While we strive for maximum security, no system is infallible. Users are responsible for safeguarding their login credentials and not sharing sensitive personal information during interactions.

8. Data Retention & International Transfer
Your data is retained as long as necessary, typically up to 10 years.
Data may be transferred outside your country, including to jurisdictions with different data laws, under appropriate legal safeguards.
9. Emergency and Harm Disclaimer
The App is a supportive tool, not an emergency service. In crisis situations, contact your local emergency number immediately. We are not responsible for any harm or damages resulting from reliance on the App.

10. Policy Changes
This policy may be updated periodically. Significant changes will be communicated clearly within the App and on our website. Your continued use constitutes acceptance of such updates.
