COOKIE POLICY
Cookie Policy
Effective date: August 18, 2026
APT uses necessary cookies and similar local-storage technologies to operate the website, secure forms and accounts, maintain session state, remember privacy choices, and support optional analytics or functionality when you consent.
Cookie and storage categories
Google Consent Mode
Before optional Google tags operate, APT sets analytics, advertising, personalization, and functionality storage to denied unless the saved privacy choice grants that category. Necessary security storage remains granted.
Analytics
When enabled and consented, Google Analytics through Site Kit or another disclosed analytics service may measure public page views, traffic sources, tool usage, and conversion events. Logged-in administrator activity may be excluded. Sensitive self-help content is not sent as an analytics event value.
Marketing storage
Marketing storage is reserved for expressly consented advertising or remarketing tags. APT does not use mental-health tool inputs, Clarity conversations, provider inquiries, or Human Clarity Coach content for third-party advertising or retargeting.
Your choices
You can accept all optional categories, reject optional categories, or manage each category. Your choice is stored in the browser for up to 180 days unless you clear browser storage or update it sooner.
Data and privacy requests
Use the Privacy Request page to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, consent withdrawal, or to ask a privacy question.
Adult access to APT AI tools
Updated September 7, 2026. APT AI conversations and interactive AI self-help tools are available only to people age 18 or older. Before using them, you must confirm that you are at least 18. This is a self-declaration, not verification of your identity. APT does not request a birth date or identity document for this check.
This restriction applies to APT AI tools. Public information, safety resources and the therapist directory remain available. Independent therapists determine eligibility and consent for their own professional services.
How the age check is remembered
Necessary security cookies remember the age-check decision on this browser for up to 12 hours. A separate confirmation-security cookie lasts up to 15 minutes. The cookies contain a signed decision or security token, an expiry time and a random value; they do not contain a birth date, ID, email address, conversation or account ID. These cookies are required to use APT AI tools and are separate from optional analytics choices. Clearing cookies removes the remembered choice.
Before starting an AI conversation
Updated September 9, 2026. Before using Clarity or another interactive APT AI tool, adults must separately acknowledge the AI self-help limitations and agree to the Terms and Conditions while acknowledging the Privacy Policy. No box is selected in advance. Consent for independent licensed therapy is handled separately by the provider.
A necessary acknowledgment cookie stores a signed receipt containing the acceptance time, acknowledgment version, expiry time and a random receipt value for up to 12 hours on this browser. This is a browser receipt, not a permanent account or server audit record. It contains no conversation text, birth date, identity document, email, IP address or account ID. A new acknowledgment is required after it expires, is cleared, or the acknowledgment version changes.
Conversation safety restrictions
Clarity checks written turns and voice transcripts for immediate safety concerns and disclosures that the user is under 18 before ordinary guidance continues. A necessary server-side record may retain only a restriction flag and expiry, associated with a keyed hash of the signed age-check cookie, for the remainder of that cookie’s lifetime (up to 12 hours). This record contains no conversation text, audio, name, email, or account ID. Closing the guide or switching modes does not clear it. Expired records stop applying immediately and are removed by scheduled or subsequent access cleanup. Safety resources remain available. This is an automated check, not clinical monitoring or guaranteed age verification.
