If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA):

Automated Decision-Making
Mentoré uses AI to generate coaching responses, identify patterns in your data, and provide personalized insights. This processing is an integral part of the service you have requested.
We want to be clear about how this works:
- AI coaching is a tool for personal reflection, not automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you
- No decisions about your access, rights, or obligations are made solely by automated means
- You are always free to disregard, question, or seek alternative views to any AI-generated guidance
- Under GDPR Article 22, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you — our AI coaching does not fall into this category
For more details about how AI processes your data, see our AI Transparency page.
Data Retention
We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account:
- Journal entries and tracking data are deleted within 30 days
- AI conversation history is deleted within 30 days
- Account information is deleted within 90 days
- Anonymized analytics may be retained for service improvement
International Data Transfers
Your data may be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including Standard Contractual Clauses for EU data transfers.
Children's Privacy
Mentoré is not intended for users under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or through the app. Your continued use of Mentoré after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
