Tendly Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 13, 2026

Effective date: April 13, 2026


1. Who We Are

Tendly is operated by The Price Group Holdings LLC, a limited liability company, doing business as Tendly ("Tendly", "we", "us", or "our"). We provide a practice management platform for wellness practitioners, therapists, coaches, and other healthcare and wellness professionals.

For all privacy enquiries:

Email: privacy@tendly.health

This Privacy Policy applies to:

  • •The Tendly marketing website at tendly.health and related subdomains ("Site")
  • •The Tendly application at app.tendly.health and associated mobile applications ("App")
  • •Any other services we operate that link to this policy (collectively, the "Services")

2. Scope and Who This Policy Covers

This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information about:

  • •Visitors to the Site (including waitlist signups and prospective customers)
  • •Practitioners who create and use a Tendly account (our direct customers)
  • •End clients of practitioners whose information is stored in the App

Important distinction: Tendly is a business associate under HIPAA and a data processor under GDPR. When practitioners use the App to store information about their clients, Tendly processes that information on behalf of the practitioner (the covered entity or data controller). The practitioner is responsible for their own privacy obligations toward their clients. Tendly's obligations in respect of that data are governed by the Business Associate Agreement ("BAA") that every practitioner signs upon account creation.

Section 9 below contains specific information about how we handle protected health information ("PHI").


3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information You Give Us Directly

On the Site (marketing):

  • •Email address when you join the waitlist or submit a contact form
  • •Any other information you choose to provide in a message

On the App (practitioner accounts):

  • •Account registration: name, email address, password, professional credentials, modality and license number
  • •Billing information: processed via Stripe; we store only the last four digits of a card and billing address — full payment card data is never stored by Tendly
  • •Practice configuration: business name, booking page settings, availability, services offered
  • •Profile photo if uploaded

Client records created by practitioners:

  • •Personal details: client name, date of birth, contact information, emergency contacts
  • •Health and clinical information: presenting concerns, diagnoses, medications, session notes, treatment plans, progress notes, assessments
  • •Insurance information: where provided by the practitioner for billing purposes
  • •Communication: secure messages exchanged between practitioner and client through the App
  • •Session recordings or transcripts: only if the practitioner enables AI note generation, in which case audio or transcript content is temporarily processed to generate a draft note and is not retained beyond that processing event

3.2 Information We Collect Automatically

On the Site:

  • •Usage data via Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics: pages visited, time on page, referring URL, browser type, operating system, approximate geographic location derived from IP address
  • •Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 12)
  • •Meta Pixel data: page views and standard events on the Site for advertising measurement purposes (see Section 12.3)

On the App:

  • •Log data: IP address, device type, browser or app version, pages or features accessed, timestamps, error events
  • •Session activity for security and audit purposes: login events, data access events, and note modifications are logged with timestamps and IP addresses as required by HIPAA

3.3 Information From Third Parties

We may receive limited information from:

  • •Stripe: payment confirmation and subscription status
  • •Claim.MD: claim status updates and ERA data for practitioners using our insurance billing add-on

5.3 Business transfers

If Tendly is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify affected users via the email address on their account before any such transfer occurs and before personal information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

5.4 Protection of rights

We may disclose information where necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Tendly, our users, or the public, and to detect or prevent fraud or security incidents.

5.5 With your consent

We may share information for other purposes with your explicit consent.


6. International Data Transfers

Tendly is based in the United States. If you are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA"), the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data transfer restrictions, your personal information will be transferred to and processed in the United States.

We rely on the following transfer mechanisms:

  • •EU Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCCs"): We use the SCCs approved by the European Commission to lawfully transfer personal data from the EEA to the United States where applicable.
  • •UK International Data Transfer Agreements ("IDTAs"): We use the UK IDTA for transfers from the United Kingdom.

EU and UK Representative: Tendly does not currently have a physical establishment in the EEA or UK. We are in the process of appointing local representatives as required by Article 27 of the GDPR and the UK GDPR. Until appointed, please direct all privacy enquiries to privacy@tendly.health.


7. Data Relating to Minors

7.1 Site visitors and account holders

The Site and App are intended for adult professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from individuals under the age of 18 through account registration or the Site. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent in violation of COPPA, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

7.2 Client data involving minors

Practitioners using Tendly may provide care to clients who are minors. In such cases:

  • •The practitioner, as the covered entity and data controller, is responsible for obtaining appropriate consents and authorisations from the minor's parent or guardian as required by applicable law and professional regulations
  • •Tendly processes this data solely as a data processor/business associate under the practitioner's instructions and the BAA
  • •We apply the same security standards to all client data regardless of the client's age
  • •Practitioners are responsible for complying with HIPAA's specific rules around the disclosure of a minor's health information, including situations where a minor is the personal representative of their own record

If you believe we have received personal information relating to a minor in error, please contact privacy@tendly.health immediately.


8. Data Retention

8.1 Marketing site visitors

  • •Waitlist email addresses: retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion
  • •Analytics data (Google Analytics, Vercel Analytics): subject to each provider's standard retention periods, typically 26 months

8.2 Practitioner accounts

  • •Account information and practice data: retained for the duration of your active subscription and thereafter until you request deletion
  • •Billing records: retained for a minimum of 7 years as required by tax and financial regulations, even following account deletion

8.3 Client data

  • •Client records, session notes, and clinical data stored in the App: retained for the duration of the practitioner's active account and thereafter until the practitioner requests deletion
  • •When a practitioner deletes their account, all client data associated with that account is permanently deleted within 30 days, except where retention is required by law
  • •Individual client records can be deleted by the practitioner at any time from within the App

8.4 Deletion requests

9. HIPAA and Protected Health Information

This section applies to practitioners using the Tendly App and to client data stored within the App.

9.1 Business Associate relationship

Tendly operates as a Business Associate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations (collectively, "HIPAA"). Every practitioner who creates a Tendly account enters into a Business Associate Agreement ("BAA") with Tendly at the point of account creation. This BAA governs Tendly's obligations with respect to protected health information.

9.2 How we protect PHI

  • •All PHI is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption
  • •All PHI is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher
  • •Access to PHI is restricted to authorised Tendly personnel on a need-to-know basis
  • •All access to PHI by Tendly personnel is logged and audited
  • •Multi-factor authentication is available and recommended for all accounts
  • •Sessions automatically expire after a period of inactivity

9.3 AI and PHI

When a practitioner uses the AI note generation feature, session audio or text descriptions are transmitted to OpenAI for processing. OpenAI has signed a BAA with Tendly covering this use. Session content submitted to the AI feature is not stored beyond the processing of the immediate request and is not used to train AI models.

9.4 Insurance billing and PHI

When a practitioner uses the insurance billing add-on, claim data including PHI is transmitted to Claim.MD for claim submission and ERA processing. Claim.MD has signed a BAA with Tendly covering this use.

9.5 Breach notification

In the event of a breach of unsecured PHI, Tendly will notify affected practitioners without unreasonable delay and no later than 60 days following discovery of the breach, as required by the HIPAA Breach Notification Rule. Practitioners are responsible for notifying their affected clients and, where required, HHS and applicable media outlets in accordance with HIPAA.
