Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: StrongMental health records contain special category personal data (health data, GDPR). Only use systems with 7510 certification, a data processing agreement and EU hosting; audio recordings of therapy sessions must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. AI-supported diagnostics and treatment decisions fall under the EU AI Act (high risk) and require human oversight and an audit trail. A BIG-registered professional remains ultimately responsible for the content of the record.
Via Vertex AI, processing can be pinned to EU regions (including the Netherlands). Enterprise data is not used for training; the free consumer app offers fewer guarantees (though stricter policies apply for the EU/EEA).
