Privacy & Consent

Who is responsible for your information

Mind Monk Therapy is the online therapy practice of Ishaan Mishra, Clinical Psychologist (Associate), registered with the Rehabilitation Council of India. I am responsible for the personal information you share with me. You can reach me about anything on this page at the email address below.

What I collect

Contact details you send me, such as your name, phone number and email address.

What you choose to share when you message me on WhatsApp or by email, including why you are looking for support.

Session information: appointment dates, brief clinical notes and any forms you fill in as part of therapy.

Payment records needed for accounts and tax.

This website does not use contact forms, advertising cookies or tracking pixels. When you tap a WhatsApp button, the pre-filled message mentions where you found the website (for example Instagram or Google) so I know which channels help people find me.

The website uses Vercel Web Analytics to count visits. It records which pages are viewed, the site that sent you, and your general country, browser and device type. It does not use cookies, does not collect your name or contact details, and cannot identify you personally.

How I use it

Only to reply to you, arrange and provide therapy, keep professional records, handle payments and meet legal or professional obligations. I never sell your information or use it for advertising.

Confidentiality and consent

What you share in therapy is confidential. Before we begin, I explain these limits and ask for your consent:

If there is a serious and immediate risk to your life or someone else's, I may need to contact emergency services or a person you have named.

If a court or the law requires disclosure, I share only what is required.

With your written permission, for example if you would like me to coordinate with a psychiatrist or another professional.

I receive regular clinical supervision. Cases are discussed without names or identifying details.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by telling me. This does not affect anything done before you withdrew it, or records I must keep by law.

Online sessions

Sessions take place over a video call. I join from a private space, and I never record sessions. For your own privacy, please join from a place where you will not be overheard and use a device only you can access.

Messages and calls pass through the services we use, such as WhatsApp and email, under those companies' own privacy policies.

How long I keep it and how it is protected

Records are stored securely and accessed only by me. I keep them only as long as needed to provide care and to meet professional and legal record-keeping requirements, and then delete them securely.

Your rights

Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you can ask to see the personal information I hold about you, ask me to correct or complete it, ask me to erase it (subject to records I must keep), withdraw consent, and raise a grievance. Email me and I will respond as soon as reasonably possible.
