BetterHelp, Talkspace and therapy directories collect intimate preferences, then hide how those answers shape the results. The strongest matches usually come from mundane constraints, not psychological precision.

A distance readout does not need to show your address to expose a commute, a gym night, or a trip. I tested four major apps and found privacy controls reduce disclosure, but rarely stop inference.
