Privacy, information & scope.
How this website works, what happens when you contact Minal, and important professional boundaries.
Educational information
This website shares general information about psychology, well-being, research and Minal’s professional background. Reading the site or sending an enquiry does not create a psychologist-client relationship, provide an individual diagnosis or replace personalised mental-health or medical care.
Contacting Minal via Telegram
When you use the website enquiry form, the details you enter are placed in a Telegram link as a prefilled message. The website has no submission server and does not receive or store form entries. The prepared link may be visible in your browser history, and Telegram will receive your message once you press Send. You need to open Telegram and press Send yourself. You may also contact @Psychologist_Minal directly or scan the QR code.
Telegram is a third-party service with its own account requirements, terms and privacy practices. Regular Telegram cloud chats are not end-to-end encrypted. Please do not send diagnoses, reports, medical details, emergency information or other sensitive material in an initial enquiry. After you send a message, Telegram and the recipient may process or retain it subject to their practices.
Other services and site data
The website loads web fonts from Google Fonts and may be hosted by a third-party static hosting provider, which may process basic technical data such as IP addresses and request logs. This website version does not implement visitor analytics, tracking cookies, payment processing, user accounts or an appointment-booking backend. External services linked from this website, including Telegram, LinkedIn and Amazon, have their own privacy policies.
Consultations and consent
Consultation format, suitability, professional scope, fees, privacy arrangements and any consent or record-keeping practices should be discussed directly before services begin. An enquiry does not guarantee availability or confirm an appointment. Please ask Minal directly about these terms.
Emergencies
This website and Telegram are not an emergency or crisis service. In India, call 112 for immediate danger. Government mental-health support is available through Tele-MANAS 14416.
Questions or updates
If you have questions about the website or its content, contact Minal through the contact page. This notice should be revisited whenever the site's hosting, forms, analytics or consultation process changes.
