How long we retain your data and requesting data erasure:
Mount North is committed to ensuring that all applicable Personal Data is retained only for the amount of time required to provide relevant products and services and in accordance with relevant legal requirements.
Certain categories of data are retained for a period of time after you no longer use our services or your account becomes inactive. These categories of data are retained to allow for a seamless reactivation in the event you begin using our services again and allows Therapists to reference historical information. Retaining this data is also needed to ensure our products and services function.
In addition to the data retention schedule outlined below, Mount North maintains a process for all user accounts (regardless of where they live) to receive and process, without undue delay, requests by clients to erase or access their data.
The following sections describe both how long a client can expect their data to be retained for given specific account information as well as how to request data erasure and access. In this Policy, data erasure is defined as the permanent removal or obfuscation of identifiable data so that it is no longer accessible by anyone.
Retention Policy:
Mount North’s data retention policies are based upon what data is being Processed, whether or not the client has participated in therapy, and if the client proactively requested data erasure or if the erasure is triggered due to platform inactivity.

Exercising Your Data Protection Rights:
As stated, you have certain rights under data protection laws, including the right to request that we erase personal data we hold about you, and the right to request a copy of it. The following sections describe how you can exercise those rights.
Requesting Data Erasure:
To request data erasure, please visit the following link to request complete erasure of your account: https://mount-north.com/privacy-request-form/. Complete the form to begin the data erasure process. You will know if this is a success because you will receive a confirmation email from us within 24 hours of your request.
If you do not have access to your account or are having trouble with this method, you can directly contact Mount North at info@mount-north.com and we will assist you with the process. As with the first way, you can expect a confirmation email within 24 hours of your request.
You may reach out to us at info@mount-north.com if you need additional help. We will only comply with a request for the erasure of your data if we can verify your identity. There is usually no charge. In exceptional circumstances, we may charge a reasonable fee after discussing the fee with you.
If you reach out to Mount North by phone or at info@mount-north.com, we have specific requirements that must be met in order for us to process your data erasure request.
Requirements:
- Only you or your authorized representative may make a request on your behalf. You may also make a request on behalf of your minor child depending on the applicable laws.
- You must provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify your identity or status as an authorized representative.
- You must provide details that allow us to understand, evaluate, and respond to your request.
In some circumstances, legal or regulatory requirements limit our ability to honor erasure requests. As such, we may decline requests for erasure if the information is:
- Subject to a litigation hold or legal request to preserve it.
- Necessary to comply with laws and regulations and to maintain business integrity.
- Clinical Health Record (described above) falls under this exemption.
Additionally, compliance obligations require us to retain records documenting certain interactions you have with us related to your account. As such, we cannot honor erasure requests for information contained in records of:
- Communications about complaints and erasure or access requests.
- Disclosures of personal data to Third Parties.
If we don’t intend to comply with a request, then we will tell you why this is the case, and outline how we weighed your rights and freedoms against our legal obligations. In such instances, any information retained will only be used for purposes contemplated under the legally recognized exemption.
- Do Not Track Signals
We currently do not honor do-not-track signals that may be sent by some browsers.
Some web browsers permit you to broadcast a signal to websites and online services indicating a preference that they “do not track” your online activities. Because there is no standard for these signals at this time, we currently do not honor such signals and we do not modify what information we collect or how we use that information based upon whether such a signal is broadcast or received by us.
- Data Security
Information transmitted over the Internet is not completely secure, but we do our best to protect your Personal Data. You can help protect your Personal Data and other information by keeping your password to our Website confidential.
We have implemented measures designed to secure your Personal Data from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. Where you have chosen a password for the use of our Website or Application, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we work diligently to try and protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Data transmitted to our Website or on or through our Application. Any transmission of Personal Data is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website, in your operating system, or in the Application.
