Welcome to Clear Practise. We believe that privacy is not a luxury—it is a fundamental requirement for mental health professionals and their clients. This policy explains how we handle your data with surgical precision and zero tolerance for tracking.
🇬🇧 Built in the UK. 🇫🇮 Hosted in Finland.
Clear Practise Ltd. is a private company registered in the United Kingdom. However, our entire digital infrastructure is sovereign and located exclusively in Helsinki, Finland.
This means:
Your data never leaves the European Economic Area (EEA).
We comply with both UK GDPR and EU GDPR, adhering to the stricter standard where they differ.
We are not subject to the US CLOUD Act or other extraterritorial surveillance regimes.
1. What Data We Collect
We collect only what is strictly necessary to operate the platform. We do not track your browsing habits, sell your data, or use third-party analytics.
Contact Forms: Name, email, and message content (used solely to respond to your inquiry).
Newsletter Signups: Email address (used only for our monthly privacy-focused digest).
Technical Logs: Temporary server logs (IP address, timestamp) are retained for 24 hours for security monitoring (DDoS protection) and then permanently deleted. No persistent profiling occurs.
Payment Data: For crypto payments, we process transactions via non-custodial wallets. We do not store transaction IDs or link them to your identity. For card payments, we use privacy-respecting processors and never store card details.
We do NOT collect: Cookies for tracking, device fingerprints, behavioral data, or analytics.
2. How We Use Your Data
Your data is used for one purpose only: to serve you.
To respond to your inquiries.
To send you the newsletter you explicitly subscribed to.
To maintain the security and integrity of our sovereign server.
To process payments (with your explicit consent).
3. Where Your Data Lives
All data is stored on our sovereign server in Helsinki, Finland. The infrastructure is hardened with:
Encryption at Rest: Full disk encryption (LUKS).
Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.3 (Let's Encrypt).
No Third-Party Cloud: No AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. Just us, running on bare metal.
4. Payment Processing
We offer multiple payment options to respect your financial privacy:
Cryptocurrency (BTC, LTC, XMR): Processed via self-hosted, non-custodial wallets. No KYC required. Transactions are peer-to-peer.
Card Payments: Processed via Stripe or similar privacy-respecting processors. We do not store card details on our servers.
Monero (XMR) is recommended for maximum transaction privacy.
5. Third Parties & Affiliate Links
We do not share your data with advertisers or data brokers. However, we do recommend tools we trust (like Proton) to help you stay secure.
Affiliate Disclosure: Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you purchase a recommended service (e.g., Proton Mail) through these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Crucially, we do not use tracking pixels or cookies to monitor your journey after you click. We rely on the privacy-preserving nature of the partners themselves.
6. Your Rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
Access: Request a copy of any data we hold about you.
Rectification: Correct inaccurate data.
Erasure: Request deletion of your data ("Right to be Forgotten").
Portability: Receive your data in a machine-readable format.
