Privacy-First Bilateral Stimulation
When using a tool for mental wellness or therapy, privacy isn't just a feature—it is a clinical necessity. Bilateral Focus was built with a "Privacy-by-Design" architecture to ensure that your sessions remain entirely confidential.
Local Browser Processing
Privacy in digital therapy tools is maintained by ensuring that all bilateral stimulation is generated locally in the browser. A 'privacy-first' approach means no therapeutic data, session notes, or personal identifiers are collected, stored, or transmitted to external servers.
Unlike many mental health apps, Bilateral Focus does not process your session data on a remote server. All visual animations and auditory pips are generated locally within your web browser.
Our Privacy Commitments:
- No Account Required: You do not need to sign up or provide an email address to use the tool.
- No Session Logging: We do not track how long you use the tool, what speeds you choose, or which audio frequencies you prefer.
- No Personal Data Collection: Our site does not collect names, locations, or health history.
- No Ads: This tool is completely free with no advertising. Your experience is never interrupted or influenced by third-party advertisers.
Why "No Data" is Better for Therapy
For therapists and clients, this architecture means there is no "digital paper trail" of your bilateral stimulation sessions on our platform. This reduces the risk of data breaches and ensures that the focus remains entirely on the therapeutic process rather than data collection.
Security Infrastructure
Our site is served exclusively over HTTPS, ensuring that the connection between your device and our tool is encrypted. Since no data is transmitted during a session, your privacy is maintained even on shared networks.
Data Policy FAQ
Do you use cookies? We use minimal cookies for basic site analytics (Google Analytics) to help us understand general traffic patterns, but these are not tied to your personal identity or session specifics.
Is this HIPAA compliant? Because we do not collect, store, or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI), the tool is inherently safe for use within a HIPAA-compliant therapeutic framework.
