No but they will sell your data and specs to other companies. This is not a rumour, it’s what they do.
Germany has free therapy, it’s rare in the world. Take advantage! Even if it takes a while to find someone and the right one.

Sober Time + BetterHelp

BetterHealth has been the subject of a complaint regarding its privacy policies, that recently resulted in an Order by the Federal Trade Commission banning them from sharing sensitive data for advertising. Something they appear to have been doing for years (I say appear because no judge has been involved). I can only hope they have bettered their ways. I’m not implying our private personal data is unsafe on Talking Sober. But the partnership does concern me.

I’ve used betterhelp, before i was ready and brave enough to meet with a therapist in person. I was matched with a therapist who wasn’t a great fit for me, but i found the platform easy to use and it fit with what i needed at the time. I wouldnt have used it if I’d known about privacy issues at that time.
