Privacy approach · private beta
Your context should support you. It should not travel without you.
This page explains how the BetterMinds founding team handles information from this public website and the current REN private beta. The interest-list notice below applies when you register for updates. A fuller product notice will be published before open product onboarding.
Short version
What you share is for your support.
See it. Correct it. Remove it. Choose what to share.
This public website
Browsing the site should not create a hidden profile.
This public-facing site may be indexed by search engines. It describes BetterMinds and the current REN private beta. It does not include advertising or behavioural analytics.
The register-interest form sends the limited contact details described below to the BetterMinds founding team. Conversation buttons open your own email application, and BetterMinds receives only what you choose to send through that route.
BetterMinds is responsible for the website interest list. For privacy questions or requests, contact hello@orcahealth.ai.
Before open product onboarding, BetterMinds will publish the confirmed legal controller details, cookie and analytics position, and complete product privacy notice.
Register your interest
A small contact record, for one clear purpose.
When you register, BetterMinds stores your email address, optional first name, the audience route you choose, where the form was submitted, and a dated record of the consent wording you accepted.
We rely on the consent you give on the form. We use the record only to manage interest in BetterMinds, share occasional updates about REN’s availability and invite relevant people into carefully chosen conversations or testing opportunities. We do not ask for health information here, make automated decisions from the list, sell it or share it with employers, clinicians or partners for their own marketing.
The providers that host this website and its private database process these details for BetterMinds. Access is limited to the team members who need to manage the list. Unless you withdraw sooner, we will keep a registration for no more than 12 months and then delete it or ask you to renew your interest.
You can withdraw consent at any time, ask for a copy, correction or deletion, or ask us to restrict how the record is used by emailing hello@orcahealth.ai. Withdrawing does not affect earlier lawful use. You can also raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office.
Please do not enter health, crisis or other sensitive personal information in the registration form.
The REN private beta
What the product may hold.
The exact mix depends on what a participant uses and chooses to connect.
Conversation & reflection
Conversation content, saved reflections, aims, communication preferences and learned patterns.
Check-ins & activity
Mood, sleep, anxiety, exercise, drinks, notes, completed practices and selected product events.
Optional connected context
Bounded aggregate Apple Health context such as sleep or activity. Raw Apple Health samples remain on the phone.
Preparation & actions
Editable professional-preparation notes and user-confirmed reminders or calendar actions.
Control
The product promise is visibility and correction.
REN may automatically save some high-confidence cues, so BetterMinds does not claim every item is manually approved before use.
Review
See remembered aims, reflections and learned patterns in the product.
Correct
Add context or change wording when the working understanding is wrong.
Remove
Delete entries and memories that should no longer be held.
Go off-record
Prevent transcript, memory, event, tracker and learning writes for a conversation, subject to the minimal crisis-routing marker described on the trust page.
Sharing
A preparation note is yours to review and move.
REN can prepare editable material for a GP, therapist, carer, sponsor or mental-health practitioner. It is not sent automatically, and professionals do not receive a hidden view of your account.
How professional preparation worksPersonal context is not for
- manager or supervisor dashboards
- individual employer reporting
- insurance or appraisal decisions
- silent professional access
- advertising profiles
What still needs formalising
A private beta is not a finished privacy programme.
Formal account recovery, application-level encryption, audit logs, DSAR and retention tooling, enterprise certification and the final legal privacy documentation are not complete in the inspected beta source.
Strict authentication enforcement is also a gate before broader new-user onboarding. BetterMinds should not widen product access until the product, operating process and public notice match the promise made here.
This page describes the current technical and product direction as of 26 August 2026. It is an interim plain-language explanation and should be reviewed and replaced by confirmed legal documentation before open product onboarding.
Questions are welcome
Ask what happens to a specific piece of context.
Good privacy explanations survive concrete questions. Tell us the scenario you are worried about and we will answer in plain language.
