Your Rights & Choices

Introduction

At SereneMind, we are committed to transparency, privacy, and your autonomy. This section details the rights you hold under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other regional frameworks), as well as the practical choices available to manage your data within our platform.

Important Note: While most rights can be exercised through our platform settings, certain requests require verification for security and privacy reasons. We respond to all valid requests within 30 days.

Your Legal Rights

Depending on your location and the data we process, you may be entitled to the following rights:

Right of Access

Request a copy of all personal data we hold about you, including categories, purposes, and third-party sharing details.

Right to Rectification

Update or correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information directly in your account or by contacting support.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data when it's no longer necessary, consent is withdrawn, or legal obligations expire.

Right to Restrict Processing

Limit how we use your data in specific circumstances, such as during accuracy disputes or legal claims.

Right to Data Portability

Receive your provided data in a structured, machine-readable format and transfer it to another service provider.

Right to Object

Object to processing based on legitimate interests, direct marketing, or automated profiling at any time.

Cookie & Tracking Choices

We use essential cookies for platform functionality and optional analytics cookies to improve user experience. You retain full control over non-essential tracking technologies.

Browse Without Tracking: Use the "Manage Preferences" banner on first visit or update settings anytime in your dashboard under Privacy & Cookies.
Browser Controls: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Note that disabling essential cookies may limit app functionality.
Third-Party Opt-Out: We integrate with trusted analytics providers. You can opt out via industry tools like the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA).

Do Not Track (DNT): We respect DNT signals when enabled in your browser. While we honor these requests, not all third-party services support DNT headers.

Marketing & Communications

We only send wellness insights, session reminders, and product updates when you've opted in. You can modify or withdraw consent at any time without affecting your core account functionality.

Email/SMS: Unsubscribe instantly via the link at the bottom of any marketing message, or toggle preferences in your account settings.
Personalization: Opt out of behavioral recommendations by disabling "Personalized Content" in your privacy dashboard.
Third-Party Sharing: We never sell your data. Opt out of limited partner integrations (e.g., wellness reports) via your connected services menu.
