International processing and online services
Some website, communication, cloud or online-therapy providers may process or store information outside India. International clients may also receive services from locations outside India.
Where international processing occurs, we seek to use reasonable contractual, technical and organisational safeguards and follow restrictions that apply under relevant law. No internet or cloud transfer can be guaranteed to be completely risk free.
How long information is retained
Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose collected, continuity of care, professional and clinical records, safety, dispute handling, accounting, legal obligations and establishing or defending rights.

Security and confidentiality
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures intended to reduce unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures may include limited access, passwords, device and account controls, secure hosting, backups, confidentiality practices and staff awareness.
No website, email, messaging platform or storage system is completely secure. Please do not send highly sensitive records through an unapproved channel. Contact the centre before sending detailed reports, photographs, videos or identification documents.
