With your permission, your device's camera will perform biometric facial analysis — measuring facial expressions and skin-colour changes to estimate wellness indicators (such as tension, engagement and an approximate heart rate). These are biometric data under GDPR Art. 9 and the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).

• The video is processed on your device and is never uploaded.
• Only the resulting indicators (numbers) and your chat are shared with your clinician and stored by the clinic.
• Live indicators are kept in memory only and discarded shortly after the session.
• This is not a medical device and provides no diagnosis.
• Participation is optional — you can continue text-only and withdraw at any time.
