Privacy statement
This statement describes the intended privacy operating principles of Therapy Reflect. It is not legal advice.
1) What Therapy Reflect stores
- User accounts (super admin, counsellor, client)
- Client intake responses (client-entered) and counsellor internal notes (counsellor-only)
- Session records: scheduled time, duration, status
- Session notes, actions, and published summaries
- Audio recordings and transcriptions (if you choose to use these features)
- Operational logs for reliability and debugging
2) Access control
- Counsellors can access their own clients and their own sessions.
- Clients can access only their own dashboard, intake form, and published session material.
- Super admin can access all accounts for administration, support, and billing - Excluding client therapy information or session data.
3) AI / transcription processing
If a counsellor uses AI features (e.g., transcription, summaries, reflections), Therapy Reflect sends the relevant text/audio to OpenAI through the OpenAI API. You can choose when to run transcription and when to ask the AI for analysis.
- Use AI features only with appropriate consent and within your professional scope.
- AI outputs are suggestions and should be clinically reviewed before being used or published.
- We recommend avoiding unnecessary identifiers in notes and prompts where possible.
4) Publication to clients
Clients only see what counsellors publish (for example, a session summary and selected actions). Counsellor internal notes remain private to the counsellor.
5) Data retention and deletion
Where possible, Therapy Reflect follows a “minimise and retain only as needed” approach. Accounts may be disabled rather than deleted to preserve session history. You can request deletion of content where appropriate.
6) Your responsibilities
- Ensure you have informed consent to store and process client data.
- Use strong passwords and protect client access.
- Follow your local privacy and professional requirements.
