1. Our Commitment to You

MENtal® is a digital health and lifestyle platform designed to support men’s wellbeing, connection, and performance. We handle your data with care, respect, and transparency. We meet the standards required by UK GDPR and actively align with B Corp values of ethical tech, user rights, and responsible governance.

We maintain Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) with all third-party processors who handle personal data on our behalf, including hosting and authorisation, payments, and any CRM or analytics platforms.

2. What Data We Collect and Why

We collect only what’s needed to deliver our services and tailor your experience. Here's a quick overview:

We never sell personal data.

Where appropriate, we analyse anonymised, aggregated data to support service improvements and ethical innovation - always using privacy by design methods such as de-identification and data generalisation.

3. How We Use Your Information

4. Data Ethics and Anonymisation

We are committed to responsible data practices. Anonymised, aggregated data may be used to improve our services, inform research, and contribute to wellbeing outcomes at scale. No identifiable data is shared without your explicit consent.

We use strong cryptographic hashing, de-identification, and generalisation to meet principles, preventing re-identification and enhancing user dignity.

We only use technology that enhances human wellbeing and dignity. Automated recommendations are designed to support - not replace - human interaction and professional guidance.

5. AI Transparency and Choice

MENtor™ is our digital guidance tool. It is designed to offer reflective, values-based insights. You are always in control and may opt out of using AI features at any time by contacting us.

We do not use AI to make automated decisions that affect your access to services or wellbeing support. Our AI systems are regularly reviewed for fairness, accuracy, and ethical use.

6. B2B and Workplace Relationships

When MENtal® services are offered through an employer or partner organisation, we may receive employee details limited to names, work emails, or session bookings. We never share your personal reflections, AI interactions, or health-related content with your employer.

Aggregated usage insights may be shared to demonstrate engagement and outcomes, but never in a way that identifies individuals without clear, written consent.

7. Your Rights and Control

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

To exercise your rights, contact ignite@mental.global. We aim to respond within 30 days.

Consent is always opt-in, logged securely with timestamp and context. You can withdraw consent anytime via email or unsubscribe links where applicable.

8. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies to enhance your experience, support navigation, and understand platform usage. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

9. Data Security and Retention

We store data securely on GDPR-compliant servers and restrict access to authorised team members only.

All personal data is stored within the UK or EEA where possible. Where any international transfer occurs, we rely on mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

Data is retained according to our internal schedule, which defines retention periods for user profiles, practitioner info, and payment metadata. Data is never kept longer than necessary.

You can request deletion at any time.

10. Data Breach Protocol

If a breach occurs that may impact your rights or security, we will investigate immediately. We will notify the Information Commissioner’s Office within 72 hours where required, and inform you directly if your data is affected.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in law, technology, or our services. The latest version will always be available at mental.global/privacy.
