Yes — developmental information shared online with Pinnacle Blooms Network is encrypted in transit and at rest, access-controlled to your child's care team, and never sold. An online form is only a starting point; a clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed in person at a centre under qualified clinician care.

*When you sit down to answer questions about your child online, you deserve to know exactly where that information goes — and that it stays protected.*

## In short
Yes. Any developmental information you share online with Pinnacle Blooms Network is handled with bank-grade security — encrypted while it travels and while it is stored, access-controlled so only authorised clinicians involved in your child's care can see it, and never sold or shared for advertising. An online questionnaire is only a starting point for conversation; a clinical AbilityScore® and any diagnosis are formed in person at a centre, under qualified clinician care.

## How your child's data is protected
- **Encrypted end to end** — information is secured in transit and at rest, so it cannot be read if intercepted.
- **Access on a need-to-know basis** — only the clinicians and care team supporting your family can view your child's record, with activity logged.
- **Your consent, your control** — you decide what you share, and you can ask what we hold, correct it, or request its deletion.
- **No advertising, no resale** — your family's information is used to support your child's care, never sold to third parties.
- **Regulated foundation** — Pinnacle's clinical assessment tooling is a CDSCO Class B Software as a Medical Device, built to a standard of accountability that ordinary apps are not held to.

An important reassurance: an online form is a screening conversation-starter, not a verdict. The information you give simply helps a clinician understand where to begin — the meaningful, secure clinical record is built with you, in person.
