Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 11, 2026

At Mental Lens (mentallens.com), I take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit my site and how I, Rahul (Founder & Editor), handle that data.

1. My Commitment to Your Privacy

By using my website, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. I believe in being transparent about how technology works behind the scenes so you can focus on the psychology and behavioral insights I share.

2. Information I Collect

I only collect personal information when you choose to provide it.

Direct Communication: If you email me at contact@mentallens.com, I will receive your email address and any details you include in your message. I only use this info to reply to you.

Automatic Data: Like most websites, I use log files. This includes technical details like your IP address, browser type, and the time you spent on a page. This isn't tied to your identity; it just helps me understand which articles are most helpful to my readers.

3. Cookies and My Use of Google AdSense

To keep Mental Lens running as a free resource, I use Google AdSense to show advertisements.

Google's Role: Google is a third-party vendor that uses "DART cookies" to show you ads based on your visit to this site and others on the internet.

Your Control: You can choose to decline these cookies at any time by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy.

Other Cookies: My site uses standard cookies to remember your preferences (like your language) to make your browsing experience smoother.

4. Third-Party Links & Advertising

My privacy policy only applies to mentallens.com. If you click an ad or a link to another site, their rules apply, not mine. I encourage you to check the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

5. Your Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

No matter where you are in the world, I respect your right to your data. You have the right to:

  • Access: Ask me for a copy of any data I have (usually just your emails to me).
  • Correction: Ask me to fix any incorrect info.
  • Deletion: Ask me to delete your contact history from my records.

6. Protecting Children

I do not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Mental Lens is designed for an adult audience interested in psychology. If you believe a child has provided info on my site, contact me immediately so I can remove it.

7. How to Contact Me

If you have questions about this policy or how your data is handled, you can reach out to me directly. I manage all inquiries personally.
