How we rate research

What we couldn't verify

  • Clinical evidence is limited or still emerging

Talkspace's US state privacy notice says it discloses personal information to third parties for analytics and advertising (you can opt out), but says it does not sell, share or target ads once you are a patient using the portal; care records fall under its HIPAA notice. Chat history can be deleted on request; medical records are kept as the law requires.
