Anonymity & Low-Threshold Access

Anonymously ready to help – around the clock.

The biggest barrier in addiction counselling is often the first step. Many people hesitate to visit a counselling centre – due to shame, fear of stigma, or distance. Connecta lowers this barrier:

  • Anonymous access possible without registration

  • No name or personal data required for initial contact

  • Accessible via any browser – no app installation needed

  • Chat, video or audio – clients choose

  • Asynchronous messages outside counselling hours

  • Low-threshold access for digital consumption journaling

Data Protection & IT Security

Maximum data protection for especially sensitive data.

Addiction counselling involves especially sensitive personal data under Art. 9 GDPR. Connecta was built for this standard from the ground up:

  • End-to-end encryption of all counselling conversations – unique in the industry

  • Even Connecta cannot read counselling content

  • Zero-data-leak concept: no third parties in the counselling area

  • GDPR-compliant, Data Processing Agreement (DPA) included

  • TÜV-certified by accredited data protection auditors

  • Data centre in Germany
