Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us.
MENTI is an academic project designed to explore how artificial intelligence and emotion-aware technology can support mental health and emotional well-being. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when users interact with MENTI.
1. Information We Collect
MENTI may process personal information, account credentials, conversations, emotion-related information, questionnaire responses, authentication data, sessions, and essential browser metadata depending on the features used.
2. How We Use Information
Information is used to provide MENTI, generate responses, support emotion-aware functionality, provide assessments and progress features, improve usability, maintain security, address technical issues, and support academic evaluation where applicable and permitted.
3. AI and Conversational Data
Information in chatbot interactions may be processed by the underlying AI service used to generate responses. Users should avoid entering highly sensitive information that is not necessary for using the system.
4. Emotion-Aware Processing
Emotion-related information supports contextually appropriate responses, emotional pattern awareness, progress tracking, and other features. Emotion detection is not a medical diagnosis.
5. Psychological Assessments
Questionnaire-based assessments are intended for self-reflection and informational well-being views. Results are not diagnoses and do not replace professional evaluation.
6. Data Storage and Retention
Information is stored only as long as necessary to provide functionality, maintain records, or fulfill legitimate academic and technical requirements.
Storage Policy: Standard Active Project Lifecycle
7. Data Security
MENTI applies reasonable measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss, including secure authentication, access controls, protected API communication, and role-based permissions.
8. Data Sharing and Third Parties
MENTI does not sell users' personal information. Information may be shared with infrastructure only when necessary for functionality, such as cloud databases or AI endpoint services.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on applicable regulations and system scope, users may request access, correction, or deletion of records; inquire about processing; and withdraw from optional features where supported.
10. Children's Privacy
MENTI is not intentionally designed to collect personal information from children without appropriate authorization or adult guidance. Users who cannot legally use the service independently should access it with proper consent and supervision.
11. Cookies and Tracking
MENTI limits tracking to essential cookies and local storage required for logins, session safety, and core navigation. It does not employ advertising trackers, cross-site profiling cookies, or marketing analytics pixels.
12. Mental Health Disclaimer
MENTI is an AI-based support system. It does not diagnose mental health conditions or replace psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, doctors, emergency services, or other qualified professionals. AI-generated responses may not always be accurate or appropriate.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated as MENTI's features, implementation, or academic requirements evolve.
