Questions
Can the person keep a copy?
If you agree, change their access to Download so they can keep the information.
Does redaction work on scanned records?
Redaction works on PDFs. A search finds words in a PDF's text, so scanned pages without a text layer need to be redacted by hand.
Is the counseling session recorded?
Only if you choose to record it. Agree that with the person first.
Do they need an account?
Yes. They're invited by email and sign in, so only they can open the information.
Where is the information stored?
DekkoCORE is hosted in-country, in Australia, the United States or Canada.
