Health data

Health information is processed solely to assess safety and suitability for participation in psychedelic coaching and guided truffle sessions.

This processing is based on your explicit consent and is necessary for reasons of safety and vital interest.

Health data is deleted no later than 6 months after the last session, or earlier if no coaching relationship is established.

Religion or worldview

Religion or worldview may be discussed as part of the coaching process, as it can be relevant to meaning-making, intention setting, and integration.

This data is processed based on your explicit consent and is optional.

If shared, it is deleted no later than 6 months after the last session.

Audio recordings (guided truffle sessions)

An audio recording may be made during guided truffle sessions for safety, accountability, and ethical transparency, as an alternative to the four-eyes principle.

Recordings are made using an offline device not connected to the internet.

They are stored securely offline and are not shared with third parties.

Recordings are retained for an indefinite period based on legitimate interest in professional accountability, safety documentation, and protection against false claims.

Files are anonymised (date-based file names only).
