By accessing or using SpeakApp, you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please discontinue using the app.

The App

SpeakApp is a mobile application available on iOS and Android platforms. All interactions, transactions, and personal data are governed by this policy, regardless of the device or location.

Our Services

SpeakApp connects clients with certified therapists, allows session booking and management, offers secure communication (chat and calls), and provides community-based mental health support.

Booking and Consultations

Clients can browse therapist profiles, check availability, and book sessions. Confirmation notifications and reminders are sent securely via in-app messages, email, or SMS where applicable.

Payment and Therapist Earnings

All payments are securely processed via trusted third-party gateways. SpeakApp does not store card details. Therapists receive earnings in their wallet, which can be withdrawn to their bank account. We comply with GDPR Article 6, HIPAA privacy rules, and NDPR Article 2.1(a) when handling financial data.

Data Privacy and Protection

We collect only necessary data and handle it with the highest level of confidentiality. Your health-related data is protected under HIPAA (USA), GDPR (EU), and NDPR (Nigeria). Data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We do not sell or misuse your information. We may anonymize data for internal analytics or service improvement. You may request access, correction, or deletion of your data at any time.

Health-related chat or call data is stored securely and only accessible to authorized parties. Consent is obtained before collecting or sharing any data, as required under GDPR, HIPAA, and NDPR.
