Who We Are
Beyond Brain Health (beyondbrainhealth.com) provides the Neurologic Stress & Recovery Index™ (NSRI™), a pre-surgical brain optimization assessment developed by Sandra Bargeron, PA-C, CAA. This policy explains what data we collect when you complete the NSRI™ assessment and how we use it.

- Basic demographics (age range, biological sex, education level)
- Health and medical history responses (medications, sleep, lifestyle, surgical history)
- Planned surgical procedure and timing
- Contact information (name and email address) used to deliver your report
We do not collect Social Security numbers, financial information, or government-issued ID.
How We Use Your Information
Your responses are used to:

Research Data & De-Identification
De-identified data collected through the NSRI™ assessment may be used in research collaborations or sold to third-party research organizations. Before any such use, all direct identifiers — including name, email address, and any other information that could reasonably be used to identify you — are removed. Data released to third parties contains only anonymized health and demographic response patterns. No individual responses are traceable back to you.
