Cross-Border Data Transfers

Why it matters

International transfers of sensitive mental health data to the US mean your information may be subject to US government access or different privacy standards than your home jurisdiction provides.

Consumer impact

Headspace collects highly sensitive personal data including mental health history, therapy session details, meditation habits, and inferred emotional states, and shares this data with third-party advertising and analytics partners. Users in therapy or using psychiatry services face additional risk as HIPAA-protected data exists alongside non-HIPAA data in the same platform ecosystem, creating potential confusion about what protections apply. You can request deletion of your personal data, opt out of data sharing for advertising, or download your data by contacting privacy@headspace.com or through your account settings.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces compliance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and has authority over deceptive representations about cross-border data transfer safeguards under FTC Act Section 5.
