Introduction
Mindscape Co for Social Consultancy ("Mindscape," "we," "us," or "our") is a company registered in Kuwait under Commercial Registration No. 467791.
The platform connects users with independent mental health professionals. All therapy and consultation sessions are provided by independent psychologists and psychiatrists licensed by the Kuwait Ministry of Health.
Legal framework
This policy operates under the data-protection laws of Kuwait, applicable laws of relevant GCC member states, and the policies of the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from or relating to this policy lies with the courts of the State of Kuwait.

Permissions
The App may request access to camera, microphone, notifications, storage, and network access — only to deliver the features you choose to use.
How we use your information
We process your data to:
- Provide and maintain the services
- Facilitate sessions between users and licensed professionals
- Process payments and manage transactions
- Verify eligibility and identity
- Communicate service updates, security notices, and support messages
- Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud or abuse

Data access and internal sharing
Access to user data within Mindscape is strictly limited to authorized administrative personnel with role-based, need-to-know permissions. All personnel are bound by confidentiality obligations.
Third-party services & sub-processors
We rely on a limited number of trusted service providers to operate the platform:
- Google Cloud Platform
- Firebase
- Payment processors
- Crash reporting tools
- Push notification services
International data transfers
Some service providers (such as Google Cloud and Firebase) may store or process data on servers located outside Kuwait, including in the European Union, the United States, or other regions. Where transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable data-protection laws.
Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.
| Category | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Account information | 1 year after account closure |
| Financial records | 5 years |
| Clinical records | Duration of treatment, per the therapist's professional obligations |
| Technical logs | 90 days |
Hosting & security
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest using industry-standard cryptographic protocols. We continuously work to safeguard your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
That said, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.
Analytics
The App does not use HTTP cookies. Mobile analytics SDKs may use device identifiers in accordance with Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework and Google Play's data-safety requirements.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data
- Request deletion of your data
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Receive a portable copy of your data
- Lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
We respond to verified requests within a reasonable period and in any event no later than thirty (30) days.
Account deletion
Upon a valid deletion request, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within thirty (30) days — except for information we are legally required to retain (for example, financial records under applicable tax and accounting laws).
Children's privacy
The App is intended for users aged thirteen (13) years and older. Users between 13 and 18 must have verified consent from a parent or legal guardian to use the platform.
Group sessions & case discussions
Participation in group therapy or group consultation requires acknowledgment that confidentiality is reduced when multiple participants are involved.
Educational case discussions involving real patients require the explicit, prior, written consent of the patient whose case is to be discussed, with appropriate de-identification where possible.
Educational content
Educational content available in the App is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the guidance of a qualified health provider for any medical concerns.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. For material changes, we will provide notice at least seven (7) days before the changes take effect, by posting the updated policy on this page and, where appropriate, through in-app or email notification.
Continued use of the App after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
