  • Content you submit: reviews, ratings, therapist listings, and any text you provide through our forms.
  • Location information:with your browser's permission, we use approximate geolocation to suggest therapists near you. You can decline this and search by location manually.
  • Usage data: pages visited, device/browser type, and referring pages, collected via analytics tools (Vercel Analytics, Vercel Speed Insights).
