Mental health discussions and records are uniquely sensitive, and we fully recognise the gravity of safeguarding such information. Bravely Connect is committed to ensuring that any mental health data or therapeutic records entered into our platform are managed with the highest levels of care, discretion, and confidentiality. Bravely encrypts all therapeutic records, reinforcing our commitment to their protection. We maintain stringent access controls: only authorised personnel can access the encrypted data, and even then, only when critically required. Rest assured, while we strive to provide a reliable platform for mental health practitioners, we maintain an unwavering respect for the sanctity of mental health records.

3. Data Storage and Categories

At Bravely, our primary and sole reason for storing data is to facilitate the use of our services by our customers.

A. Google Calendar Integration

Bravely Connect's appointment scheduling feature is integrated with Google Calendar to offer users a streamlined experience:

Data Access: For the synchronisation to work effectively, Bravely Connect requests both read and write permissions to your Google calendars and Google Calendar Events.
Purpose: This integration is not optional if you wish to use the appointment scheduling feature on Bravely Connect. It's designed to ensure users have real-time updates, conflict checking and can manage their appointments efficiently through their Google Calendar.
Data Sharing: Your privacy remains our top priority. Your Google Account data and calendar details are kept confidential and are not shared with any other Bravely Connect account or third-party entities.

From time to time, we may also be required to share certain personally identifiable information about the payers to comply with Stripe's terms of service and to provide necessary documentation in the event of a payment dispute.
Security: Stripe is a leading payment processor known for its rigorous security standards. When you process a payment on Bravely Connect, you can be confident that your financial information is managed with utmost care and security.
