Trust Center

Mental-health data is among the most sensitive there is. Here's how we protect it — and exactly who helps us run the service.

Our commitments

EU data residency

Your data is stored in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany).

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Traffic is served over TLS, and sensitive clinical fields are encrypted at the application layer before they are written.

Least-privilege access

Row-level security isolates every account's data; staff access is limited and auditable.

Data minimisation

We collect only what care requires and use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics.

Subprocessors

We use a small set of vetted providers to operate Avand, each bound by a data-processing agreement. We keep this list current; material changes are announced here.
