1. Introduction

Zensible Counseling Private Limited (“Zensible,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of everyone who uses our Services—including therapists, counsellors, psychologists, and their clients.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you use our websites, applications, or other online services (collectively, the “Platform”), whether you are:

  • A Therapist User (mental health professional using Zensible to manage practice, clients, and related data); or

  • A Client User (an individual signing up to book sessions, complete forms, or interact with a therapist via Zensible).

By using our Platform, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Scope

This Policy applies to all users in India. We comply with:

  • Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act)

  • Information Technology Act, 2000 & associated Rules on Reasonable Security Practices

We also follow industry-standard data security measures.

3. Information We Collect

We collect data differently depending on whether you are a Therapist User or Client User.

3.1 Information You Provide

  • Therapist Users:
    Name, contact details, professional qualifications, license/registration details, organization details, payment/billing information, and any other data you input into the Platform (e.g., therapy notes, schedules).

  • Client Users:
    Name, contact details, age/date of birth, gender, appointment history, responses to therapy forms or assessments, payment details (when applicable).

  • Authentication Details:
    If you use Google Sign-In or Sign in with Apple, we collect your name and email address as provided by the service.

    • Note for Apple Users: If you use Apple’s “Hide My Email” feature, we receive a unique, random email address instead of your personal email. We treat this "Private Relay" address with the same level of security and privacy as a standard email address.

3.2 Automatically Collected Data (All Users)

  • IP address, device information, browser type, operating system, access times, and usage patterns (e.g., pages viewed, actions taken).

  • Cookies and analytics data for performance, security, and personalization.

3.3 Special Category Data

If you are a Client User, therapists may record sensitive mental health information in your session notes. Zensible processes this only on behalf of your therapist and does not use it for marketing or profiling.

3.3 Google API Data (Calendar Integration)

When you choose to integrate your Google Calendar with Zensible, we access your calendar data via the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events.readonly scope.

  • What we access: We only read the start and end times of your existing events.

  • What we do NOT access: We do not read, store, or share the titles, descriptions, or attendee lists of your personal events.

  • Purpose: This data is used exclusively to calculate your real-time availability so that clients cannot book sessions during your existing "busy" periods.

4. How We Use Your Data

4.1 We use your data to

  1. Provide, operate, and improve the Platform and Services.

  2. Facilitate communication between Therapist and Client.

  3. Manage accounts, subscriptions, scheduling, and payments.

  4. Maintain security, prevent fraud, and resolve disputes.

  5. Comply with legal obligations.

  6. Train and improve AI features only using anonymised/de-identified data—we never use identifiable Client data for AI training. Specifically, we do not use any data obtained through Google or Apple API Scopes to train or improve our AI models.

4.2 Google Limited Use Disclosure

Zensible’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We strictly prohibit the use of Google user data for serving advertisements or for any purposes other than providing the core scheduling and practice management features of our platform.

5. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data under:

  • Performance of contract: To deliver the services you signed up for.

  • Consent: For optional services/features and for processing sensitive personal data.

  • Legal obligations: Complying with Indian laws, audits, and regulatory requests.

  • Legitimate interests: Improving our platform, security monitoring, and analytics (in compliance with DPDP Act).

6. Sharing Your Data

We may share data with:

  • Therapist ↔ Client: Information is shared as needed for therapy delivery (e.g., booking confirmations, therapy notes visible to your therapist).

  • Third-party service providers: Hosting, analytics, payment gateways (all bound by data protection obligations).

  • Legal authorities: Only when required by law or legal process.

  • Corporate events: In case of merger, acquisition, or sale, with notice to users.

No Sale of Personal Data: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, including data obtained through Google or Apple authentication services, to any third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

Zensible does not transfer or share Google or Apple user data with third parties unless it is necessary to provide the scheduling features, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger/acquisition where the same privacy standards apply.
