Recommendation

High Privacy Risk: Maven's telehealth model generates extensive text records of sensitive fertility discussions. Unlike in-person visits, every conversation is recorded in detail and retained permanently.

For Users: Be aware that all chat communications are permanently recorded. Consider what details you share through the platform versus in-person with providers. Understand that employers receive engagement and utilization data. Request copies of your data periodically to understand what's being retained.
