Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Provider-Client Relationship

Important: Once you connect with a provider, your therapeutic relationship is directly with that provider. Providers are independent practitioners with their own privacy practices. We encourage you to review your provider's privacy policy and HIPAA practices directly.

Rooted Collective does not have access to clinical notes, session recordings, or protected health information (PHI) exchanged between you and your provider.
