@_L1vY_ oh wow didn’t even know that happened. I did read something about better help or another of those online therapy things sharing data though. My doc suggested them and I said hell no.

You told your doctor why you said "hell no"? Not every doctor that recommends a given service knows about some services' fuckery.
This is absolutely true -- healthcare professionals rarely understand cyber-security. For example, I used to recommend the Calm App (and occasionally still do). But then... what do they do with all that health data they consider "non-medical"? And... I believe they are the ones that later launched a health services division including psychotherapy...
Not perfect, but as a rule of thumb you could install the privacy badger plug-in and check how many 3rd party cookies it stops as a gauge of how privacy conscious or caring a given site is.
@reederm @ferricoxide @_L1vY_ it puts somebody like me in the position of second-guessing my own judgment. When we are drawn to the convenience and efficiency of moving things, remote online, etc. yet every single time I do that, I don’t want to second-guess if my information is safe or being sold or used to build AI. There’s clearly. A lot I don’t know about it as well.
