PRIVACY POLICY

We adhere to the norms and practices of data privacy and security. By using the Site, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms and Conditions. Please be advised the Site is hosted in India. You can read our privacy policy here [CLICK HERE]

If you access the Site from the European Union, Asia, or any other region of the world with laws or other requirements governing personal data collection, use, or disclosure that differ from applicable laws in India, then through your continued use of the Site, you are transferring your data to India, and you are expressing consent to have your data transferred to and processed in India.Ā 

[Further, we do not knowingly accept, request, or solicit information from children or knowingly market to children. Therefore, in accordance with the Indian Childrenā€™s Online Privacy Protection Act, if we receive actual knowledge that anyone under the age of 13 has provided personal information to us without the requisite and verifiable parental consent, we will delete that information from the Site as quickly as is reasonably practical.]

INTERNATIONAL USE AND THE GDPR

BetterSpaceā„¢ Platform advises both its Client/Users and practicing Platform Providers to be aware of and respect and comply with the local laws of any international based Client. BetterSpaceā„¢is cognizant and respects the formal promulgation of the existing European Union (EU) data privacy regulations. The General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and the European Economic Area. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU and EEA and is commonly referred to as ā€œGDPR.ā€ BetterSpaceā„¢ has always respected our Clientā€™s Privacy (see our Privacy Policy)Ā  and we were already a HIPAA certified platform following stringent data privacy rules

The basic tenants of the promulgated GDPR regulations include, but are not limited to the following:

Disclosure when you sell, transfer or third party marketing of Userā€™s data: As outlined in this Terms of Use, BetterSpaceā„¢ does not sell or transfer Client data and any marketing efforts are focused solely on internal information updates to our registered Clients.

Access to collected data: At BetterSpaceā„¢, you already have the ability to access your shared data (Your personal information, your emergency contact information and all your interactions with your Providers) and use it as you wish.

Clear Consent: At BetterSpaceā„¢ our Terms of Use are clear on what consent we seek with regards to your data and prior to your engagement with your Provider, you review and agree to a further ā€œinformed consentā€ process.

Security: At BetterSpaceā„¢ we have encrypted our data from day one and has stored all Private Health Information with full HIPAA compliance and in an anonymized form as required by the GDPR.

Notice/Audit: At BetterSpaceā„¢, we will provide our Clients notice of any data breach and we employ a full time security Officer, as well as engaging a third party security firm to periodically audit both or code and technology security as well as our HIPAA policies and procedures around data security.

Finally, dependent of your EU country or origin, the GDPR takes into account what was previously termed the right ā€œto forgetā€ or request deletion of your data once you cease using a particular application or site. This particular tenant of the GDPR may conflict with applicable medical records retention laws. In the United States, this requires at least seven years of retention, which is common around the world and is sometime up to ten years or more in certain countries. So, unlike some data platforms, BetterSpaceā„¢ cannot erase private health data directly upon a Clientā€™s request, as it may be considered essential for other medical file retention purposes. Applicable individual country medical retention laws are generally considered an acceptable exception to the GDPR regulations regarding the right to deletion of certain data.

Prologue: The Digital Tapestry of BetterSpace

In a world woven with bytes and digital dreams, there stood a realm named BetterSpace, a creation of the visionary Shivtensity Private Limited. This digital domain, anchored in the vast sea of the Internet, was governed by the sagacious laws of the Information Technology Act, 2000. It was a land where electronic records fluttered like leaves in the wind, existing without the need for physical or digital signatures, a testament to the era of technological marvel.

Chapter 1: The Covenant of Shivtensity

In this land, Shivtensity stood as the benevolent rulers, their decree shaped by the wise words of Rule 3 (1) of the Information Technology (Intermediaries guidelines) Rules, 2011. They crafted BetterSpace not merely as a website but as a digital sanctuary where rules and regulations, privacy policies, and terms of access were etched in the very fabric of its existence.

Chapter 2: The Pact Between Realms

Travelers to BetterSpace, known as 'Users,' were welcomed by a sacred pact - the Terms and Conditions. This wasn't merely a scroll of rules but a binding agreement forged between the User and Shivtensity, a promise for safe passage and respectful conduct within the digital kingdom of BetterSpace.

Chapter 3: The Order of Providers ā€“ Ethical Guardians

At the heart of BetterSpace were the Providers, esteemed counselors, and therapists, each a guardian of ethics and care. Before they could weave their magic, they pledged their allegiance to the realm, showcasing their qualifications and agreeing to a noble code - to treat all seekers with respect, to act lawfully, and to never misuse the trust placed in them.

Chapter 4: The Chronicles of Access ā€“ Guardians and Minors

BetterSpace, a realm of inclusivity, had two gateways. One for the seasoned travelers, the adults, and another, more guarded one, for the young adventurers, the minors. The latter path was only accessible under the watchful eyes of their guardians, ensuring their journey was both enlightening and protected.

Chapter 5: The Ledger of User Responsibility

Each User, upon entering BetterSpace, accepted a mantle of responsibility. They vowed to provide true and complete registration information, to tread the digital paths with honesty, and to respect the sanctity of this online realm.

Chapter 6: The Treasury of Knowledge and Respect

Within the walls of BetterSpace lay a treasure trove of content - articles, advice, and wisdom. This was the heart of the realm, protected fiercely by copyright laws and Shivtensityā€™s vigilant eyes, ensuring its purity and integrity remained untarnished.

Chapter 7: The Ethical Pathway ā€“ Prohibited Deeds

BetterSpace, a land of freedom, also had its taboos. Users were forbidden from engaging in acts that would disrupt the digital harmony - no trickery, fraud, or misuse of the sacred services of support. They were to walk the path of righteousness, respecting all laws and edicts of the realm.

Chapter 8: The Evolution of the Covenant

As in all great tales, the story of BetterSpace was not static. The wise rulers, Shivtensity, held the power to rewrite parts of this narrative, ensuring that the realm adapted and thrived in the ever-changing landscape of the digital age, always keeping their Users informed of these changes.

Chapter 9: The Providersā€™ Oath and Remuneration

In this tale, the Providers were not just counselors but also stewards of their own destinies within BetterSpace. They shared their wisdom in exchange for compensation, part of which contributed to the maintenance and growth of the realm. Yet, their content and contributions were monitored, ensuring they aligned with the ethos of BetterSpace.

Chapter 10: The Safe Haven for Providers

If ever a Provider found themselves in the shadows of mistreatment or harassment within the realm, they were not alone. Shivtensity, ever the vigilant guardians, provided a haven for these concerns, ensuring that justice and respect remained the cornerstone of BetterSpace.

Epilogue: The Continuum of BetterSpace

Thus, the digital realm of BetterSpace, governed by Shivtensity, continued to thrive, a testament to the harmony that can exist between technology and humanity. It stood as a beacon of hope and guidance in the digital age, a place where wisdom was shared, and journeys of healing and understanding were embarked upon.


And so, the story of BetterSpace is a never-ending saga, evolving with each user and provider, a digital tapestry rich with human experiences, all bound by a common thread of respect, responsibility, and continuous growth.
