Security & Compliance

Your clients' data is safe with us

Therapists handle some of the most sensitive information that exists. Security isn't an afterthought here — it's built into the foundation.

How we protect your data

Six layers of protection

Encryption in Transit

All data between your browser and our servers is encrypted with TLS 1.3 — the latest transport layer security standard.

Encryption at Rest

Client data is stored using AES-256 encryption. Even if servers were accessed, your data would be completely unreadable.

Mandatory 2FA

Two-factor authentication is enforced platform-wide. Every account requires a second verification step — no exceptions.

Row-Level Access Control

Only you can see your client data. Our team cannot access your practice without explicit, logged permission for support.

Daily Backups

Your data is backed up automatically every day to geographically separate locations, ensuring full business continuity.

72-Hour Breach Notification

We have documented incident response procedures. In the unlikely event of a breach, you'll be notified within 72 hours as required by UK GDPR.

Compliance

Built for UK regulations

UK GDPR & Data Protection Act 2018

We process data in accordance with UK GDPR. You remain the data controller — we are the data processor. Our Data Processing Agreement is available on request.

Data Minimisation

We only collect and store data necessary for providing the service. No unnecessary tracking, profiling, or advertising.

Right to Access & Erasure

You and your clients can request access to or deletion of personal data at any time. We provide built-in export and deletion tools.

UK / EU Data Residency

All data is stored on servers within the UK and EU. Your client data never leaves Europe.

Your role

You remain the data controller

As a therapist, you're responsible for how client data is collected and used. Here's what that means in practice.

Have a Privacy Policy

Inform your clients how their data is collected, stored, and processed. PracticeGrow generates a starter policy for your website.

Obtain Consent

Ensure clients consent to digital data storage. Our intake forms include a consent and data processing signature field.

Secure Your Account

Use a strong, unique password. 2FA is mandatory on PracticeGrow — but don't share your login with anyone.

Understand Data Flows

Know where your client data lives. With PracticeGrow, everything stays in the UK/EU on Supabase's secure infrastructure.
