How Pinnacle protects your child's personal data
Your child's personal data is protected through clinical-grade security, purpose-limited collection, strict role-based access for care clinicians only, encrypted storage, and de-identification for any research. As a parent you stay in control and can ask what we hold at any time.

When you trust us with your child's journey, you trust us with their story — and we protect it like it's our own.
In short
Your child's personal data is protected through clinical-grade security, strict access controls, and India's data-protection laws. We collect only what is needed to support your child's development, store it securely, and share it only with the clinicians directly involved in your child's care — never sold, never used to identify your child publicly. As a parent, you stay in control: you can ask what we hold, request corrections, and ask questions at any time.
How your child's information is safeguarded
- Purpose-limited collection — we gather only the developmental, health and contact details needed to assess, plan and deliver therapy, nothing extra.
- Restricted access — only the qualified clinicians and care staff directly supporting your child can view their records, governed by role-based permissions.
- Secure storage and transfer — data is encrypted and held within protected systems built to clinical-grade standards.
- Anonymised for research — when development data informs our validated studies or the AbilityScore®, it is de-identified, so no individual child can be recognised.
- Your rights as a parent — you may ask what information we hold, request corrections, and raise any concern about how your child's data is used.
As a CDSCO Class B Software-as-a-Medical-Device organisation supporting 4.95 lakh+ families, this responsibility sits at the centre of how we work — privacy is part of care, not an afterthought.
The Pinnacle way
Developmental measurement supports care planning; diagnosis requires an appropriately qualified healthcare professional., under qualified clinician care — and the developmental information behind them is handled with the same protection described here. If you ever want to understand exactly what we hold or how an assessment uses it, simply ask your centre. Learn more about how we work as a network, the assessment itself, and beginning your child's journey.
Trusted sources
Guidance on protecting children's health information and family privacy from the American Academy of Pediatrics (healthychildren.org) and the World Health Organization's nurturing-care framework, alongside India's data-protection principles, informs our approach.

Bring your questions to a first visitQuestions families ask
Is my child's data ever sold or shared with advertisers?
No. Your child's personal data is never sold and is not used for advertising. It is shared only with the qualified clinicians and care staff directly involved in your child's development support.
Who can see my child's records?
Access is restricted by role — only the clinicians and care staff supporting your child can view their records. We use role-based permissions so information stays with those who need it for care.
Is my child's information used in your research?
Only in de-identified form. When development data informs our validated studies or the AbilityScore®, it is anonymised so no individual child can be recognised.
Can I ask what data you hold about my child?
Yes. As a parent you may ask what information we hold, request corrections, and raise any concern about how your child's data is used. Simply contact your Pinnacle centre.
