Mently Privacy Policy

Introduction

At Mently, your privacy is our priority. We are committed to being transparent about how we collect, use, and protect your data. This policy covers all Mently activities, including those under Next Gen, Inc. and Mently Labs Ltd (UK).

1. The Information we collect:

• Account Basics: Name, email, and professional links (like LinkedIn).
• Learning Data: Course progress, quiz results, and mentorship feedback.
• Financial Data: Billing details and transaction records (handled securely via third-party processors like Stripe or Paystack).
• Verification: Identity documents for mentors to ensure community safety.

2. LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING (GDPR)

If you are in the UK or EEA, we only process your data when we have a legal reason to do so:

• Contract: To provide the courses and mentorship you signed up for.
• Consent: When you opt-in to marketing or specific cookies.
• Legitimate Interests: To keep our platform secure and improve our features.
• Legal Obligation: To comply with tax or safety laws.

3. YOUR GDPR & UK DATA RIGHTS

You have specific rights regarding your personal information. You can ask us to:

• Access: See what data we have about you.
• Correct: Fix any mistakes in your information.
• Delete: Remove your data (the "Right to be Forgotten").
• Transfer: Move your data to another service (Data Portability).
• Object: Stop using your data for marketing.

4. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

Mently operates globally. When we transfer data from the UK or EEA to our servers in other regions, we use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other approved legal safeguards to ensure your data stays just as protected as it would be at home.

5. DATA RETENTION

We keep your information only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with Services. If you close your account, we may retain certain data to comply with legal, tax, or accounting requirements.

6. SECURITY

We use industry-standard encryption and security measures to protect your data. While no system is 100% secure, we constantly update our protocols to guard against unauthorized access.

7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Mently is not intended for anyone under the age of 16. If we learn we have collected data from a child under 16 without parental consent, we will delete it immediately.
