Privacy Policy

& End User Licence Agreement

Version 2.0Effective: 27 March 2026Updated: 27 March 2026Mindset Ltd · United Kingdom · hello@mindsetapp.io

Plain Language Summary

Before you read the full legal text, here is what matters most in plain terms:

  • What happens on your device, stays on your device. Mindset's enforcement features operate entirely locally. We do not receive, store, or analyse the specific apps or websites you choose to block. Enforcement is local and rule-based — it is not surveillance.
  • We collect the minimum necessary. We collect your email address, subscription status, and anonymised diagnostic data. We do not collect behavioural profiles, contact lists, message content, browsing history, or keystrokes.
  • You pay for the product. Mindset is a subscription service. We do not sell advertising space. We do not monetise your data. Your subscription is the only commercial relationship between us.
  • Your data is stored in Germany. Our servers are located in Nuremberg, Germany, within the European Economic Area, subject to some of the strongest data protection law in the world.
  • You are always in control. You can access, correct, export, and delete your data at any time. You can contact us at hello@mindsetapp.io and we will respond within three business days.
  • We do not sell your data. We never have. We never will.

This plain-language summary does not replace the full legal text below. In all matters of interpretation, the full text governs.

PART A — PRIVACY POLICY

1. Introduction

1.1 Mindset Ltd ("Mindset", "we", "us", "our") is a company registered in England and Wales. We are the developer and operator of the Mindset mobile application ("the Application"), available on iOS and Android, and any associated web-based tools made available to institutional clients (collectively, "the Services").

1.2 Mindset is a focus enforcement application. It is built on the principle that genuine focus requires genuine restriction, not passive reminders or motivation. When enforcement is active, selected applications and websites become structurally inaccessible on a user's device. Mindset does not suggest, remind, or nudge. It enforces.

1.3 Privacy is central to that mission. An enforcement tool that simultaneously surveils the very behaviour it restricts would be a contradiction. Mindset is architecturally designed so that the specific content of your activity — which apps you use, which websites you visit, what you type — is never transmitted to or stored on our servers. Enforcement is entirely local and rule-based.

1.4 This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, what your rights are, and how to exercise them. It applies to all users of the Services, including consumers using the personal mobile application and individuals using Mindset in an institutional context.

1.5 This Policy is issued in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") as retained in UK law by the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, the Data Protection Act 2018 ("DPA 2018"), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) ("EU GDPR") where applicable, and other applicable data protection legislation.

1.6 For the purposes of applicable data protection legislation, Mindset Ltd is the data controller in respect of personal data processed in connection with the Services. Our contact address for all privacy-related matters is: hello@mindsetapp.io.

1.7 If you have any questions about this Policy or about how we handle your personal data, you are welcome to contact us at any time. We aim to respond to all enquiries within three business days.

2. Definitions

2.1 In this Policy, the following terms have the meanings set out below:

3. Who We Are and How to Contact Us

3.1 Mindset Ltd is registered in England and Wales. We operate the Mindset Application and Services.

3.2 All privacy-related enquiries, data subject access requests, complaints, and correspondence should be addressed to:

Mindset Ltd

United Kingdom

Email: hello@mindsetapp.io

Website: mindsetapp.io

3.3 Mindset Ltd has appointed a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for overseeing our compliance with applicable data protection law, including UK GDPR and EU GDPR. The DPO is the appropriate point of contact for all matters relating to data protection, data subject rights requests, and complaints. The DPO can be contacted at: hello@mindsetapp.io. Please mark the subject line of any DPO correspondence accordingly (for example: "FAO: Data Protection Officer").

3.4 Where Mindset is deployed by an Institutional User, the Institutional User acts as a separate data controller in respect of its own members' data and is responsible for its own compliance obligations. Mindset acts as a data processor on behalf of the Institutional User to the extent agreed in a Data Processing Agreement. Individual members of an Institutional User who have questions about how their data is handled by that institution should direct those questions to the institution directly.

4. Personal Data We Collect

4.1 We collect and process only the personal data that is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy. The categories of personal data we collect are set out below. We do not collect personal data speculatively, and we do not collect personal data that we do not have a clear purpose for processing.

4.1 Account and Identity Data

We collect the following data when you create and maintain a Mindset account:

  • Your email address, used to identify your account, communicate with you about your subscription, and provide customer support.
  • Where you sign in using Apple Sign-In or Google Sign-In, we receive a unique identifier from the relevant platform in place of or in addition to your email address. We do not receive your Apple or Google password.
  • Your chosen display name, if you provide one. This is optional.
  • Hashed authentication credentials. Passwords are never stored in plain text. We do not have access to your password.
  • Account preferences and settings that you configure within the Application.

We use this data to create and maintain your account, authenticate your identity, synchronise your settings across devices, and respond to support requests.

4.2 Subscription and Billing Data

Mindset subscriptions are processed exclusively through Apple App Store or Google Play. We do not collect, process, or store payment card information.

  • We receive and store your subscription status (Trial, Premium, or Standard), subscription start and end dates, and receipt tokens issued by Apple or Google.
  • We verify subscription receipts directly with Apple or Google through their respective APIs. This verification is the authoritative basis on which we grant or revoke Premium access.
  • Where a subscription is purchased through our website rather than through Apple or Google, we may receive basic transaction information from our payment processor sufficient to confirm payment and issue a refund if required. We do not hold payment card details in this case either.

We use this data to verify your entitlement to Premium features, manage subscription renewals, process refund requests, and resolve billing disputes.

4.3 Session and Focus Data

When you use the Application to run focus sessions, we collect the following data:

  • Session start and end times, and session duration.
  • The focus mode used (for example, Pomodoro or open blocking).
  • Whether the session was completed or terminated early.
  • Aggregated counts of distraction events — that is, the number of times a blocked resource was attempted during a session. We do not collect the identity of specific applications or websites that were blocked or attempted.
  • Break mode selections (where applicable) and break usage counts.

We do not collect which specific applications or websites you choose to block. That information remains entirely on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. This is not merely a policy choice — it is an architectural one.

4.4 Diagnostic and Technical Data

We collect anonymised technical data to maintain the performance and reliability of the Application:

  • Device type, operating system version, and Application version.
  • Crash reports and error logs. These are anonymised and do not contain personally identifiable information.
  • General performance metrics, such as load times and feature interaction counts.
  • Information about which features of the Application are used and how frequently, in aggregate and anonymised form.

This data is not linked to your identity. It is used solely to identify and fix defects, improve Application performance, and prioritise product development.

4.5 Communications Data

Where you contact us by email or through any in-app support mechanism, we retain a record of your correspondence. This includes your email address, the content of your message, and any attachments. We use this data to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, to identify and resolve systemic issues.

4.6 Institutional Session Data

Where Mindset is used in an institutional setting, additional data is generated as a consequence of running group enforcement sessions. This may include:

  • Attendance records — whether a participant was present and checked in to a session.
  • Session participation timestamps.
  • Aggregated engagement metrics associated with individual participants, as configured by the Institutional User.
  • Achievement and recognition data generated by the institution's use of Mindset's reward features.

This data is generated on behalf of and for the use of the Institutional User. It is accessed by authorised administrators within that institution. Mindset processes this data as a data processor on behalf of the Institutional User as data controller. We do not use this data for our own analytical or commercial purposes.

We do not disclose in this Policy the specific technical mechanisms by which institutional sessions are managed, as these details are commercially sensitive. Institutional clients may request a Data Processing Agreement and associated technical documentation by contacting hello@mindsetapp.io.

5. How We Collect Personal Data

5.1 We collect personal data in the following ways:

5.1 Directly from you

  • When you create an account or sign in using Apple or Google.
  • When you subscribe to Mindset through the App Store, Google Play, or our website.
  • When you configure settings or preferences within the Application.
  • When you contact us with a support request or general enquiry.
  • When you participate in a survey, feedback form, or research invitation issued by us.

5.2 Automatically, through your use of the Application

  • Diagnostic data and crash reports are collected automatically as part of operating the Application.
  • Session data is collected automatically when you start, run, and end a focus session.
  • Subscription verification occurs automatically when you open the Application, to confirm your current entitlements.

5.3 From third parties

  • Apple and Google provide us with subscription status and receipt data when you subscribe through their platforms.
  • Where Mindset is deployed by an Institutional User, the institution may provide us with participant data (such as a list of enrolled members) necessary to set up the institutional environment.

5.4 We do not purchase personal data from data brokers. We do not source personal data from social media platforms. We do not receive personal data from advertising networks.

6. Legal Basis for Processing

6.1 Every processing activity we carry out requires a lawful basis under UK GDPR and EU GDPR. The table below sets out the legal basis for each category of processing we perform.

6.2 Where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, we have carried out a balancing test to confirm that our legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. The legitimate interests we rely on are: providing effective customer support, maintaining the security and integrity of our systems, and preventing fraud and abuse of the Services.

6.3 Where we rely on consent as our legal basis, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. To withdraw consent, contact us at hello@mindsetapp.io or adjust your preferences within the Application settings.

7. How We Use Personal Data

7.1 We use the personal data we collect for the following purposes:

7.1 Provision and maintenance of the Services

  • To create and administer your Mindset account.
  • To verify your subscription status and grant access to the features you are entitled to.
  • To operate the enforcement and blocking functionality of the Application.
  • To synchronise your settings and session history across multiple devices registered to your account.
  • To display your focus history, streaks, achievements, and progress within the Application.

7.2 Support and communications

  • To respond to support requests, complaints, and general enquiries.
  • To send you transactional communications that are necessary to deliver the Services — for example, subscription confirmation emails, payment failure notices, and policy update notifications.
  • To contact you, where you have consented, with information about new features, product updates, or relevant announcements. You may opt out of these communications at any time by contacting hello@mindsetapp.io.

7.3 Security and fraud prevention

  • To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful use of the Services.
  • To maintain the security and integrity of our systems and infrastructure.
  • To verify the authenticity of subscription receipts submitted to Apple and Google.

7.4 Product improvement

  • To analyse anonymised and aggregated usage patterns to understand how features are used.
  • To identify and fix defects, crashes, and performance issues.
  • To inform decisions about the future development and improvement of the Application.

We do not use personal data to train machine learning models that are deployed externally. Any automated processing of personal data is described in Section 12 of this Policy.

7.5 Legal and regulatory compliance

  • To comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, and requests from regulatory or law enforcement authorities.
  • To establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • To maintain records required by applicable tax and accounting law.

8. Disclosure of Personal Data

8.1 We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to third parties for their own commercial or marketing purposes. The following describes all circumstances in which we may disclose personal data:

8.1 Service Providers and Data Processors

We engage a limited number of third-party service providers who process personal data on our behalf, under strict contractual terms that prohibit them from using data for any purpose other than performing the services we have engaged them to perform. These providers are bound by data processing agreements consistent with UK GDPR and EU GDPR requirements. They include:

  • Infrastructure and hosting services. Our primary infrastructure is operated by Hetzner Online GmbH, a German hosting provider, whose data centres are located in Nuremberg, Germany. Hetzner processes personal data only to the extent necessary to operate the infrastructure on which our systems run, under a data processing agreement consistent with EU GDPR requirements.
  • Providers of diagnostic and crash reporting services, engaged to help us identify and resolve technical defects. These providers receive anonymised technical data only and are not named in this Policy for commercial reasons. They are bound by contractual data processing obligations.
  • Payment processing infrastructure operated by Apple and Google, for the purpose of verifying subscription receipts.

We do not name specific third-party providers in this Policy as this information is commercially sensitive. The categories of providers and the nature of data shared with each are as described above. Institutional clients may request further detail by contacting hello@mindsetapp.io.

8.2 Other Users — Group Features

Where you participate in group focus features ("Rooms"), limited information is visible to other participants in the same session:

  • Your display name.
  • Your presence status (active, away, or offline).
  • An indication of whether you are currently in a distracted state (that is, whether you have attempted to access a blocked resource during the session).

No other personal data is shared with other participants. The specific applications or websites you have chosen to block are never visible to other users. Email addresses, account identifiers, and session history are never shared between users.

8.3 Institutional Users

Where you use Mindset in an institutional setting, data about your session participation — including attendance records and engagement metrics — is made available to authorised administrators within that institution. This disclosure is made on behalf of and under the direction of the Institutional User as data controller. Mindset does not control how the Institutional User uses this data.

8.4 Legal Requirements and Protection of Rights

We may disclose personal data to public authorities, regulators, courts, or law enforcement agencies where we are legally required to do so, or where we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
  • Protect the vital interests of any person.
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues.

Where legally permitted, we will notify you of any such disclosure request. We will always endeavour to challenge requests that we consider to be overly broad, disproportionate, or not in compliance with applicable law, and we will disclose only the minimum personal data necessary to comply with any valid legal requirement.

8.5 Business Transfers

If Mindset Ltd undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, insolvency proceeding, or sale of all or a substantial part of its assets, your personal data may be transferred to the relevant successor entity as part of that transaction. We will notify you in advance of any such transfer where practicable. Any successor entity will be required to honour the terms of this Privacy Policy or provide you with equivalent or greater protections.

9. International Data Transfers

9.1 Our primary servers and infrastructure are hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH in Nuremberg, Germany, within the European Economic Area (EEA). Personal data stored on these servers is subject to EU GDPR and the equivalent protections established in the UK under UK GDPR. Germany is subject to some of the most rigorous data protection standards in the world, and Hetzner's infrastructure meets enterprise-grade security requirements.

9.2 Where we engage service providers whose processing activities occur outside the UK or EEA, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place before any transfer is made. Such safeguards may include:

  • Adequacy decisions made by the UK Secretary of State or the European Commission, confirming that the destination country provides an adequate level of data protection.
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the Information Commissioner's Office or the European Commission, incorporated into our agreements with those service providers.
  • Binding Corporate Rules, certification mechanisms, or other legally recognised transfer tools under applicable data protection law.

9.3 We do not transfer personal data to countries that lack adequate data protection safeguards without first putting in place one of the safeguard mechanisms described above.

9.4 You may request further information about the safeguards we have put in place for any specific international transfer by contacting us at hello@mindsetapp.io.

10. Data Retention

10.1 We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. The following table sets out our retention periods for each category of data:

10.2 When you delete your account, we will permanently delete your personal data within 30 days, except where a longer retention period is required by law (for example, financial records required for tax purposes). Data held in backup or archival systems at the point of deletion may persist for a further period consistent with our backup rotation schedule, after which it will be permanently expunged.

10.3 We review our retention periods periodically and will update this Policy if they change.

11. Security

11.1 We take the security of your personal data seriously and implement a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect it against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.

11.1 Technical Measures

  • All data in transit between your device and our servers is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS), using current, industry-standard cipher suites.
  • All data stored on our servers is encrypted at rest.
  • Passwords and authentication credentials are stored in hashed form using appropriate cryptographic hashing algorithms. They are not stored in a format that would allow us to retrieve your password.
  • Access to personal data held on our systems is restricted to personnel who have a legitimate business need to access it, and is subject to access controls and authentication requirements.
  • Our infrastructure undergoes regular security assessments.

11.2 Organisational Measures

  • All team members with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • We follow a data minimisation approach: we do not collect data we do not need, and we do not provide access to data beyond what is required for a given function.
  • We assess the privacy and security implications of new features and processing activities before they are implemented.
  • We maintain documented procedures for responding to data security incidents.

11.3 Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority (the UK Information Commissioner's Office, and/or the relevant EU supervisory authority) without undue delay and, where feasible, within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, as required by UK GDPR and EU GDPR.

Where a breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly without undue delay, unless an exception under applicable law applies. Our notification will describe the nature of the breach, the categories and approximate number of individuals and records concerned, the likely consequences of the breach, and the measures we have taken or propose to take to address it.

11.4 While we take extensive precautions, no data transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. If you suspect any unauthorised access to your account or data, please contact us immediately at hello@mindsetapp.io.

12. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

12.1 Mindset Ltd uses automated processing in two specific contexts within the operation of the Services. We are committed to transparency about both, and in each case where automated processing produces an outcome that affects your account, you will be notified.

12.1 Subscription Status Determination

When you open the Application, our systems automatically query Apple or Google's subscription verification APIs to determine your current subscription status. The result of this query automatically determines which features and tiers of the Application you are able to access. This process may result in the following automated outcomes:

  • Upgrade: If a successful subscription payment is detected and your account was previously on the Standard tier, your account is automatically upgraded to Premium and all Premium features are immediately unlocked.
  • Downgrade: If a subscription lapses, is cancelled, or a payment fails, your account is automatically downgraded from Premium to Standard tier and Premium features become inaccessible. You will receive a notification via email to your registered address and an in-app notification informing you of this change, the reason for it, and how to restore your subscription.
  • Trial expiry: When a free trial period ends without a subscription being activated, your account is automatically transitioned to the Standard tier. You will be notified in advance of your trial expiry date and again at the point of transition.

These automated determinations are based solely on verified payment data from Apple or Google. They do not involve profiling of your behaviour, assessment of your personal characteristics, or any form of discretionary judgment. They are a necessary and straightforward consequence of operating a subscription service.

If you believe any automated determination applied to your account is incorrect, you may contact us at hello@mindsetapp.io marked "FAO: Data Protection Officer" and a member of our team will review your case manually and respond within three business days.

12.2 Session Enforcement

During an active focus session, the Application's enforcement engine automatically blocks access to resources you have selected for blocking when you attempt to access them. This automated action is the core functionality of the Application and operates entirely locally on your device. It does not involve any processing on our servers and does not produce any outcome that affects your account status or your rights.

12.3 No Profiling

12.2 We do not carry out profiling — that is, automated processing of personal data to evaluate, analyse, or predict aspects of your personal situation, behaviour, preferences, interests, reliability, or location — that produces legal effects on you or similarly significantly affects you. We do not use personal data to build individual profiles for advertising, credit assessment, insurance, employment, or any other form of automated evaluation of personal characteristics.

12.3 We will notify you if we introduce any new automated decision-making that has a significant effect on you. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your explicit consent or provide appropriate human review and opt-out mechanisms before implementing any such processing.

13. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

13.1 Mobile Application

The Mindset mobile application does not use cookies. It does not use web-based tracking technologies such as pixels, beacons, or fingerprinting. All data held by the Application on your device is stored in secure local storage or in your Mindset account on our servers, as described in this Policy. No data is shared with advertising networks or third-party data brokers through the Application.

13.2 Website (mindsetapp.io)

Our website may use a limited number of cookies. These fall into the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: Required for the website to function correctly. These include cookies that maintain your session when you are logged in to an account area, and cookies that remember your cookie consent preferences. These cookies cannot be disabled without impairing the functionality of the website.
  • Analytical cookies: Used, with your consent, to understand how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most frequently and where visitors encounter difficulties. This data is collected in anonymised or pseudonymised form and is used solely to improve the website. You may decline these cookies without affecting your ability to use our website or the Application.

We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies set by third-party advertising networks on our website. Mindset products are entirely ad-free.

Where required by applicable law, we present a cookie consent banner to website visitors and obtain consent before setting any non-essential cookies. You may update your cookie preferences at any time.

14. Device Permissions

14.1 The Application requests certain device permissions in order to deliver its enforcement functionality. The specific permissions requested depend on the operating system of your device. We request only the permissions that are genuinely necessary for the features you use.

14.2 A general description of the categories of permission we may request is as follows:

  • App management permissions: Required to restrict access to selected applications during an active enforcement session. The Application uses operating system-level mechanisms to enforce blocking. It does not read the content of other applications or access their data.
  • Network-level permissions: Required to restrict access to selected websites during an active enforcement session. Website blocking operates locally on your device. No browsing data or web traffic is transmitted to our servers.
  • Notification permissions: Required to deliver session reminders and completion alerts. Notification content is generated locally and is not transmitted to our servers.
  • Location permissions (institutional context only): May be requested where an Institutional User has configured location-based verification as part of their session management. Location data is used only for the specific verification check at the point of check-in and is not stored persistently.

14.3 All enforcement activity — including determining which applications and websites are blocked during a session — occurs locally on your device. We do not receive information about which specific applications or websites you have chosen to block, and we do not receive information about the content of your activity on your device.

14.4 You may revoke any permission granted to the Application through your device's operating system settings at any time. Revoking certain permissions may impair the functionality of the Application.

15. Minors and Parental Guidance

15.1 Mindset does not impose a minimum age requirement for use of the Application. The Application is designed to assist users of any age in managing their device usage and maintaining focus. We recognise that younger users — including children and teenagers — may benefit significantly from focus enforcement tools, and we do not exclude them from using the product.

15.2 We do not knowingly collect any personal data from users that we would handle differently based on age. The data we collect — as described in Section 4 — is the same regardless of the age of the user, and is limited to what is necessary to provide the Service.

15.3 Where a child uses the Application, Mindset Ltd encourages parents and guardians to be involved in setting up and supervising their child's account and usage. Parents and guardians who wish to review, correct, or request the deletion of data associated with their child's account may contact us at hello@mindsetapp.io. We will accommodate such requests in accordance with applicable law and, where the request relates to a minor in the household, will endeavour to verify the parental or guardian relationship before taking action.

15.4 Mindset does not serve advertising within the Application. The Application is a subscription product. We do not use the data of any user — regardless of age — for advertising, profiling for commercial purposes, or resale to third parties.

15.5 Where Mindset is deployed by an educational institution and used by students who may be minors, the institution is responsible for ensuring that its use of the Services complies with all applicable child protection, education, and data protection legislation in its jurisdiction. Institutional clients should refer to their Data Processing Agreement with Mindset Ltd for applicable provisions.

15.6 If you become aware of any use of the Application by a child in circumstances that cause you concern, please contact us at hello@mindsetapp.io marked "FAO: Data Protection Officer" and we will investigate promptly.

16. Your Data Protection Rights

16.1 You have a number of rights in relation to the personal data we hold about you. The rights available to you depend on your location and the legal basis on which we process your data. These rights are described in detail below.

16.1 Rights Available to All Users

Regardless of where you are located, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, together with information about how it is processed.
  • Right to rectification: If any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may ask us to correct it.
  • Right to erasure: You may request that we delete your personal data where there is no longer a lawful basis for us to retain it, subject to any overriding legal obligation to retain it.
  • Right to withdraw consent: Where our processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that took place before your withdrawal.

16.2 Additional Rights — UK and EU Residents

If you are located in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, you have the following additional rights under UK GDPR and EU GDPR:

  • Right to restriction of processing: You may ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances — for example, while we verify the accuracy of data you have disputed, or where processing is unlawful but you do not want us to erase the data.
  • Right to data portability: Where our processing is based on your consent or the performance of a contract, and is carried out by automated means, you may ask us to provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
  • Right to object: You may object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests. We will cease such processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
  • Rights in relation to automated decision-making: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. As set out in Section 12, we do not currently carry out any such processing.
  • Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. In the United Kingdom, this is the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). In EU member states, this is the relevant national data protection authority.

16.3 Rights — United States Residents

The United States does not have a single federal privacy law applicable to all residents. Privacy rights in the US are established by a growing body of state-level legislation. The sections below describe your rights under each applicable state law. If your state is not listed, please contact us at hello@mindsetapp.io and we will confirm what rights apply to you under the most current applicable legislation.

As a general commitment applicable to all US residents regardless of state: Mindset does not sell personal information. Mindset does not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. Mindset does not discriminate against any user for exercising their privacy rights. We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals for users of our website.

California (CCPA / CPRA — California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act)

California residents have the most extensive set of statutory privacy rights in the United States. Under the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, you have the following rights:

  • Right to know: The right to request that we disclose what personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which it was collected, the purposes for which it is used, the categories of third parties with whom it is shared, and the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to delete: The right to request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain statutory exceptions (for example, where retention is required to complete a transaction or comply with a legal obligation).
  • Right to correct: The right to request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
  • Right to opt out of sale or sharing: The right to opt out of the sale of your personal information and the sharing of your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. Mindset does not engage in either activity.
  • Right to limit use of sensitive personal information: The right to direct us to limit our use and disclosure of sensitive personal information (as defined under the CPRA) to what is necessary to perform the Services. Mindset does not use sensitive personal information beyond what is strictly necessary to deliver the Services you have subscribed to.
  • Right to non-discrimination: You will not receive a lower quality of service, higher prices, or any other adverse treatment as a consequence of exercising your CCPA/CPRA rights.
  • Right to access information about automated decision-making: You have the right to know about automated decision-making processes that use your personal information and, in certain circumstances, to opt out of such processes. See Section 12 of this Policy for a full description of all automated decision-making we carry out.

To submit a verifiable consumer request, contact us at hello@mindsetapp.io with the subject line "California Privacy Request." We will respond within 45 calendar days of receipt of a verifiable request. We may extend this period by a further 45 days where reasonably necessary, with prior notice. You may designate an authorised agent to make a request on your behalf; we will require written authorisation and may verify your identity directly.

Virginia (CDPA — Consumer Data Protection Act, effective 1 January 2023)

Virginia residents have the following rights under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act:

  • Right to access: The right to confirm whether we process your personal data and to access that personal data.
  • Right to correct: The right to correct inaccuracies in your personal data, taking into account the nature of the data and our purposes for processing it.
