However, users acknowledge that Third Space Talk is not a healthcare provider, mental health practice, therapy service, counseling practice, medical provider, or HIPAA-covered entity. While Third Space Talk implements reasonable privacy and security measures, the Services are delivered through internet-based technologies and third-party platforms that have inherent limitations. As a result, confidentiality, privacy, and security cannot be guaranteed under all circumstances. Users should carefully consider the information they choose to disclose through the Services.

Required by law
Necessary to protect safety
Needed to investigate misuse of the platform
Or necessary to enforce our Terms of Service
Users should avoid sharing highly sensitive medical, legal, financial, or emergency-related information through the platform.
