Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 July 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how MindReset.org (“MindReset”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal data when you visit this website, contact us, subscribe to email updates, interact with embedded content, or follow affiliate links.

MindReset is a research-based buyer guidance website for sleep, focus, recovery, digital detox, self-regulation, wellness technology, and related products. MindReset is not a medical service, healthcare provider, mental health platform, mobile application, or treatment provider.

This policy applies only to MindReset.org. Third-party websites, retailers, affiliate partners, social networks, and embedded services operate under their own privacy policies.

Who is responsible for your personal data?

MindReset, operating MindReset.org from the United Kingdom, is the data controller for personal data collected directly through this website.

For privacy questions, data protection requests, or complaints, use our Contact MindReset page and include “Privacy request” in your message.

What personal data do we collect?

The personal data we collect depends on how you use MindReset.org.

Information you provide directly

• Your name and email address when you use a contact form.
• The content of messages, correction requests, partnership enquiries, or other information you choose to send.
• Your email address and, where requested, your name when you subscribe to a newsletter or download an email resource.
• Your newsletter consent, subscription status, and unsubscribe preferences.
• Information you provide when communicating with MindReset by email or through a connected social media account.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the website, our hosting, security, analytics, consent-management, and website tools may collect technical information such as:

• Internet Protocol address and approximate geographic region.
• Browser type, browser version, device type, and operating system.
• Pages viewed, links clicked, referring pages, and visit timestamps.
• Cookie identifiers, consent preferences, and similar technical identifiers.
• Basic diagnostic, security, error, and server log information.
• General engagement information, such as whether an email was opened or a link was clicked, where this is supported by our email provider and permitted by your settings.

We do not use MindReset.org to collect eye-tracking data, facial images, camera recordings, biometric information, medical records, or data from a mental health application.

Affiliate and shopping information

MindReset uses affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer or affiliate network may use cookies or similar technologies to record that the visit came from MindReset. We may receive aggregated reporting about clicks, qualifying purchases, commissions, products ordered, transaction dates, and general location or device information.

MindReset does not normally receive your full payment card details, retailer password, complete delivery address, or other information used by the retailer to process your order. Purchases are completed on the third party’s website and are governed by that third party’s privacy policy and terms.

How do we use your personal data?

We may use personal data to:

• Operate, maintain, secure, and troubleshoot MindReset.org.
• Respond to questions, correction requests, technical reports, and partnership enquiries.
• Send newsletters or requested email resources when you have subscribed.
• Record and respect your cookie and marketing preferences.
• Understand how visitors use the website and improve navigation, content, and performance.
• Measure affiliate link activity and understand which buyer guides are useful.
• Detect spam, fraud, abuse, malicious traffic, and security incidents.
• Maintain business, tax, affiliate, and accounting records where required.
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims and comply with legal obligations.

What are our lawful bases for processing?

Depending on the activity, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases under UK data protection law:

• Consent: for newsletters, optional email marketing, and non-essential analytics or marketing cookies where consent is required. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legitimate interests: to operate and secure the website, respond to ordinary enquiries, maintain accurate content, analyse general website performance, prevent abuse, and run a sustainable affiliate-supported publishing business. We consider whether these interests are overridden by your rights and interests.
• Contract or steps before a contract: where you ask us to take steps relating to a partnership, commercial arrangement, or other agreement.
• Legal obligation: where processing is necessary for accounting, tax, regulatory, court, or other legal requirements.

Cookies and similar technologies

MindReset.org uses cookies and similar technologies for website operation, consent management, analytics, embedded content, affiliate attribution, and marketing measurement.

Cookies may include the following categories:

• Necessary cookies: required for security, basic website functions, form operation, and storing consent choices.
• Analytics cookies: used to understand website traffic, page views, referrals, and general visitor behaviour.
• Marketing and affiliate cookies: used by advertising, social media, retailer, or affiliate partners to measure clicks, referrals, and qualifying purchases.
• Functional cookies: used to support optional features, embedded content, or saved preferences.

CookieYes is used to display the consent banner and record cookie preferences. Where required, non-essential analytics and marketing technologies should not be activated until you provide consent.

You can accept, reject, or change your choices through the cookie banner or the “Consent Preferences” control displayed on the website. You may also block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some website features may not function correctly.

Analytics and measurement tools

MindReset may use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Site Kit, Pinterest Tag, and similar measurement tools to understand website use and evaluate content, referral, and campaign performance.

Depending on your consent choices and the provider’s configuration, these tools may process technical and usage data such as IP address, device information, browser information, page views, referral source, cookie identifiers, and interactions with website content.

We use this information primarily in aggregated form to understand website performance. We do not use website analytics to provide medical diagnoses, mental health profiling, or decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Contact forms and email communications

Contact forms are provided using WordPress and WPForms. Information submitted through a form may be processed by the website, our hosting provider, the form software, and the email services used to deliver or store the message.

Please do not send medical records, passwords, payment card information, government identification documents, or other highly sensitive personal information through our forms.

If you voluntarily include health or other sensitive information in a message, we will not use it to create a health profile or provide medical advice. We may delete the information when it is not necessary to answer or manage the enquiry.

Newsletters and email marketing

MindReset may use MailerLite, Hostinger Reach, or another clearly identified email service to manage newsletter subscriptions, email resources, consent records, email delivery, and unsubscribe requests.

We send marketing or newsletter emails only where we have an appropriate lawful basis, normally your consent. Every marketing email should include an unsubscribe option. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before consent was withdrawn.

After you unsubscribe, a limited record of your email address may be retained on a suppression list so that we can respect your request and avoid sending further marketing messages.

Affiliate links and third-party retailers

MindReset participates in affiliate programmes operated by retailers, brands, and networks. These may include Amazon Associates, Awin, Impact, and direct brand affiliate platforms.

When you follow an affiliate link, you leave MindReset.org and interact directly with the third party. The third party may collect personal data, place cookies, process purchases, perform fraud checks, and provide customer service under its own privacy policy.

Affiliate commissions do not increase the price you pay and do not give MindReset access to your retailer account or full payment details.

Embedded content and external websites

Articles may contain embedded videos, social media content, product tools, or other content supplied by third parties such as YouTube. Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third party’s website directly and may collect technical information or use cookies, subject to your consent choices and the third party’s own policy.

Links to retailers, brands, research sources, social networks, and other external websites are provided for convenience. MindReset does not control how those organisations collect or use personal data.

Who may receive your personal data?

We may share or permit access to personal data only where reasonably necessary, including with:

• Website hosting, infrastructure, backup, performance, and security providers, including Hostinger.
• WordPress plugins and technical service providers used to operate the website.
• Form and email delivery services, including WPForms and relevant email providers.
• Newsletter and email marketing providers, including MailerLite or Hostinger Reach where enabled.
• Analytics, consent-management, and measurement providers, including CookieYes, Google, and Pinterest.
• Affiliate networks, retailers, and brands when you interact with their links or services.
• Professional advisers, accountants, insurers, regulators, courts, law enforcement, or public authorities where disclosure is necessary and lawful.
• A buyer or successor if the website or its business assets are sold, transferred, or reorganised, subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection measures.

We do not sell personal data to data brokers.

International data transfers

Some service providers used by MindReset operate internationally or may process information outside the United Kingdom.

Where UK data protection rules apply to a restricted international transfer, the transfer should be covered by an applicable UK adequacy regulation, the UK Extension to the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where available, contractual safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or UK Addendum, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

Details of the transfer mechanisms used by individual providers are normally available in their privacy policies and data processing terms.

How long do we retain personal data?

We keep personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security, and dispute-resolution requirements.

• Contact enquiries: normally for up to 12 months after the enquiry has been resolved, unless longer retention is needed for an ongoing partnership, dispute, legal obligation, or legitimate business record.
• Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe, the service ends, or the information is no longer required. A minimal suppression record may be retained after unsubscribe.
• Cookie consent records: for as long as reasonably needed to record and demonstrate your choices.
• Analytics information: according to the retention period configured in the relevant analytics service and our operational needs.
• Affiliate and accounting records: for the period required by the relevant affiliate programme, accounting requirements, tax rules, or legal obligations.
• Security logs and backups: for limited operational periods based on the website host, security tools, and backup schedule.

We may anonymise information so that it can no longer reasonably identify an individual. Anonymised information may be retained for statistical or website improvement purposes.

How do we protect personal data?

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include HTTPS encryption in transit, restricted administrative access, account security, software updates, backups, spam controls, and security monitoring.

No website, internet transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information and use appropriate security precautions on your own devices and accounts.

Your data protection rights

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Be informed about how your personal data is used.
• Request access to personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances.
• Request restriction of processing in certain circumstances.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests or to direct marketing.
• Request data portability where the legal requirements apply.
• Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
• Complain about how your personal data has been handled.

These rights are not absolute and exemptions may apply. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We normally aim to respond to valid rights requests within one month, subject to legally permitted extensions.

To exercise a right, use the Contact MindReset page and clearly state that you are making a privacy or data protection request.

Data protection complaints

You may complain to MindReset if you believe personal data has been handled incorrectly. Submit the complaint through our Contact MindReset page and include “Data protection complaint” in the message.

We aim to acknowledge a data protection complaint within 30 days, investigate it without undue delay, keep you informed where appropriate, and explain the outcome.

You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office. Information about submitting a complaint is available on the ICO complaints website. The ICO public helpline is 0303 123 1113.

Children’s privacy

MindReset.org is not specifically directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly request personal data from children under 13 through accounts or personalised services.

If you believe a child has submitted personal data to MindReset without appropriate permission, contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

Automated decision-making

MindReset does not use personal data collected through this website to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on visitors.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our website, service providers, legal obligations, or data practices change. The current version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.

Material changes may also be communicated through the website, cookie banner, or email where appropriate.
