Relationship assessment
If you use our online relationship assessment, some additional handling applies, and this section explains it in plain terms.
What we collect
When you take the assessment we collect your name, your email address, the pronoun you select, your partner's name as you enter it, and your answers to the assessment questions. We also record when you start and finish, and whether you click through to book a consultation. Your partner enters their own name correction, email, and pronoun themselves when they open their link. We never ask you for your partner's email address, and we never email your partner on your behalf.
How your partner's results and yours are shared
The assessment is designed to be taken by both partners, and both of you agree at the start that you will each see the other's results. When you both finish, each of you can see both sets of scores side by side, along with the areas where you differ. If either of you does not agree to this at the start, neither of you sees the other's individual scores. You are told this clearly before you begin, and starting the assessment is your consent to it.
Who can see your answers
Your individual answers are reviewed by Mithra, a licensed counselling psychologist, to prepare for and support your consultation. They are not shared with anyone else, they are not sold, and they are not used for advertising. Your emails are stored in encrypted form, and access to the practitioner view is protected by a password and logged.
How long we keep it
We keep your assessment responses indefinitely, so that Mithra can refer back to them across your work together, unless you ask us to delete them. You can ask us to delete your responses at any time by emailing mithra@bohoheal.com, and we will remove them from our records. If your responses are used as part of a clinical consultation, relevant details may also be held within your clinical records, which are governed by professional record-keeping obligations rather than this policy.
How it is secured
The assessment runs over an encrypted connection. Your email address is stored using strong encryption, the links we send you are private to you and are not guessable, and repeated invalid attempts to access a link are rate limited. Please do not forward your own private link to anyone.
Emails we send
The assessment sends you transactional emails: a link to resume where you left off, a note when your partner has finished, and a link to your results once you have both finished. These are sent through a third-party email provider that delivers the message on our behalf and does not use your address for its own purposes. Because these emails are part of the service you asked for and not marketing, they do not carry an unsubscribe link, but we will only email you about your assessment.
Client rights
You may request to:
- access your information
- update personal details
- withdraw consent for communication
- request deletion of your personal data, including your assessment responses, by emailing mithra@bohoheal.com
Crisis & emergency disclaimer
Boho Heal is not an emergency mental health service. If you are experiencing a crisis or immediate danger, please contact local emergency services or crisis helplines immediately.
Updates to policy
Boho Heal may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of the website or services indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
