Privacy Protections in General Terms
Launch library · evergreen read
Privacy protections generally apply to conversations with support services, meaning what you share is treated with care and confidentiality throughout the process. It applies equally, whatever the particular circumstances happen to be. It remains true regardless of the path someone ultimately chooses to take. This is a right worth knowing about, whether or not it is used.
Understanding these general protections in advance can make reaching out feel less daunting, especially for anyone worried about who might find out. This is worth remembering, whatever stage of the process someone is at. This is worth knowing whether or not you ever decide to use it. This is worth remembering on days when everything else feels uncertain.
