Purposeful collection
We collect information needed to answer you and provide useful, safe services.
Privacy at Peak Brain
We treat it that way.
Peak Brain provides QEEG brain mapping, neurofeedback, biofeedback, education, mindfulness, performance coaching, and related services. We collect what we need, use it for stated purposes, limit who can access it, and give you meaningful choices about how it is used and shared.
Privacy, in plain language
Staff keep client and prospective-client information within the authorized Peak Brain service team and use it only for their work. We disclose information outside that team only to contracted providers needed to deliver or operate services, when you direct or authorize us, or when a narrow legal or safety exception applies.
We collect information needed to answer you and provide useful, safe services.
The primary provider and small team assisting that work may access client information.
You can exercise applicable rights and direct optional outside sharing.
Full policy
This policy explains how Peak Brain collects, uses, protects, retains, and shares personal information and how you can exercise your privacy rights.
“Peak Brain,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Peak Brain Institute and the Peak Brain entity identified in your service agreement. That entity is responsible for your service records unless the agreement or a local privacy notice says otherwise.
This policy covers our websites and forms; inquiries, consultations, scheduling, purchasing, and account administration; in-office and remote QEEG, neurofeedback, biofeedback, coaching, education, and support; and information received from you or a person or service you ask us to involve.
Some locations are separately operated and may provide an additional local notice. A more specific local notice controls records held by that location if the notices differ. This policy does not control an unrelated third-party site or service linked from our website.
We apply privacy and security safeguards based on the sensitivity of the information and the laws applying to the particular entity, person, service, and record.
HIPAA applies only to protected health information handled by a covered entity or business associate. When it applies, we follow applicable HIPAA requirements. A specific Notice of Privacy Practices controls PHI-specific rights and duties if provided.
When applicable, the responsible entity uses an appropriate legal basis, provides the additional rights below, and safeguards restricted international transfers.
Consumer, medical-record, biometric, marketing, breach-notification, and consumer-health-data laws may provide additional protections that we honor where applicable.
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
Name, date of birth or age, contact details, location, time zone, representatives, emergency contacts, referral information, and details needed to verify a privacy request.
Interests, questions, goals, concerns, forms, appointment history, attendance, equipment assignments, remote-support messages, attachments, and service communications.
Relevant history, symptoms, sleep, stress, attention, goals, EEG/QEEG data, maps, reports, HRV data, protocols, device readings, progress measures, and support notes.
Purchases, invoices, payment status, refunds, reimbursement information if used, shipping, signed agreements, authorizations, incident, safety, and complaint records.
IP address, browser and device details, dates and times of use, referring page, pages viewed, essential cookies, preferences, consent records, and limited interaction data.
Do not place detailed health information in a general website form, ordinary email, or text message unless we specifically ask. We may move the conversation to a more secure channel.
We do not use identifiable brain, health, or coaching information for testimonials, unrelated advertising, or general-purpose AI-model training without separate valid permission when required.
Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, the legal basis depends on the purpose and context.
| Purpose | Usual legal basis | Sensitive-data condition |
|---|---|---|
| Respond to an inquiry | Contract steps or legitimate interests | Explicit consent when sensitive details are optional |
| Provide requested services | Contract, legal obligation, or legitimate interests | Explicit consent or another applicable health-data condition |
| Coordinate with someone you designate | Consent or performance of requested services | Explicit consent or another applicable condition |
| Payments, accounting, and compliance | Contract, legal obligation, or legitimate interests | Legal claims or another applicable condition |
| Optional marketing and analytics | Consent, or legitimate interests where permitted | Health data is not used for unrelated targeting |
If we rely on consent, you may withdraw it prospectively. Withdrawal does not make earlier processing unlawful or require deletion of a record that another legal basis or retention duty requires us to keep.
Our default rule is simple
Assume every client and prospective-client record is confidential.
Peak Brain is a small practice led by a primary provider. Staff help that provider deliver and administer client services, so every current team member whose role includes that support may need access to client information. Those people are part of the authorized Peak Brain service team.
Private remote support
Each remote coaching client may receive a private channel that is not public and is not shared with other clients. The client and Peak Brain’s small, currently support-enabled team may participate. Authorized staff may review earlier messages needed to continue support. Information must remain within approved systems and may not be moved to personal accounts, notes, or devices. Someone outside Peak Brain is included only at the client’s direction or under a narrow legal or safety exception.
A coach who is part of your authorized Peak Brain team may receive relevant QEEG findings, goals, protocol information, session observations, and progress measures. We use information for legitimate coaching and coordination purposes.
We keep coaching and brain information within the authorized Peak Brain team unless you ask us to involve an outside coach, clinician, family member, school, employer, or other person, or a narrow legal or safety exception applies. When separate permission is required, we obtain it before sharing.
For employer-, school-, or team-sponsored programs, we do not provide session content, brain maps, coaching notes, or individual outcomes unless you direct us or law requires it. Administrative information and aggregate or deidentified reporting may be provided as described in advance.
In a group coaching, mindfulness, or education session, other participants may hear what you choose to share. We ask participants to respect confidentiality, but we cannot guarantee another participant’s conduct.
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the stated purpose, requested services, and applicable legal, professional, tax, accounting, security, insurance, dispute, and recordkeeping requirements. The period depends on the record, responsible entity, client age, jurisdiction, and any legal hold or active dispute.
When information is no longer needed, we delete it, deidentify it, or place it beyond routine use. Deletion is not absolute. Certain client, brain-data, billing, authorization, security, or legal records may need to be retained. When required, we explain why requested information cannot be deleted and limit further use to the retained purpose.
We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed for the sensitivity of the information. Depending on the system, these may include encryption, access controls, multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, logging, secure backups, workforce training, vendor review, incident response, and secure disposal.
No transmission or storage method is perfectly secure. Ordinary email and text may be less secure than a designated portal or approved service channel. If we discover a breach, we investigate, contain, document, and notify affected people and authorities when applicable law requires it.
Depending on the law and record type, you may have the right to:
Rights are subject to legal exceptions. We take reasonable steps to verify identity and authority, respond within the required period, and explain denials and appeal options where required.
Where applicable, you may complain to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, your local data-protection authority, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office, or another regulator. Contacting Peak Brain first is welcome but not required.
Peak Brain operates and uses providers in more than one country. Information may be processed in the United States or another country whose privacy laws differ from those where you live.
Where GDPR, UK GDPR, or another law restricts a transfer, the responsible Peak Brain entity uses an approved mechanism as applicable, such as an adequacy decision, EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK transfer addendum or agreement, or another lawful safeguard.
Our general websites are intended for adults and are not designed for a child to submit personal or health information independently. Services may be provided to minors through a parent, guardian, or another person authorized by law.
We obtain permissions required for the child’s age, location, and service, recognizing that a minor may control some information or decisions under applicable law. Contact us if you believe a child submitted information through a general form without appropriate permission.
Last updated: January 1, 2026
We may update this policy as services, technology, or law changes. We will post the revised version with a new “Last updated” date. If a change materially affects how we use information already collected, we provide additional notice or seek consent when applicable law requires it.
