Data Collection (8.5)Mentalyc provides a comprehensive overview of the types of personal data collected, including contact, account, profile, communication, log, device, usage information, and cookies. The methods of collection are clearly stated, detailing both user-provided and automated data collection. However, the policy could benefit from a more explicit mention of how long data is retained after collection.
Data Usage (8)The policy outlines various purposes for data usage, including customer service, marketing, and legal compliance. It also mentions the use of aggregated and de-identified data for research. However, while the purposes are generally clear, more transparency regarding the specifics of marketing practices could enhance user understanding.

It provides clear instructions on how users can exercise their rights, such as accessing and deleting their personal data. This section is well-structured and user-friendly.
Security Measures (8)Mentalyc describes reasonable security measures to protect personal data, including encryption and access controls. The retention policy is mentioned, indicating that data will be kept only as long as necessary, but more specific timeframes for different data types would improve clarity.
