We reserve the right to amend the Privacy Policy at any time, for any reason, without notice to you, other than the posting of the amended Privacy Policy at this site. We may email periodic reminders of our policies and will email participants and all active records in our database of material changes, but you should check our website frequently to see the current Privacy Policy that is in effect. To help us communicate with you, you are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date, active, and deliverable email address for us to contact you.

If you are under 18 years of age, you should not use any services offered by Menttium, and under no circumstances should you send information about yourself through our services. If we discover that a person under 18 years of age has provided personally identifiable information, we will promptly delete that child’s personally identifiable information. By using our services, you represent that you are at least the age of 18.

WHAT DATA DO WE COLLECT AND HOW DO WE USE IT?

For those who contact us, subscribe, or register via our website, we collect your name, company, email address, phone number and indirect identifiers such as location data or IP address. For those who participate in a Menttium program, we collect your provided name, company, email address, phone number, and other optional professional and personal information.

We ask you to voluntarily provide additional information related to age, gender, race/ethnicity, and other demographics, which is used to help us make the most effective and successful matches, as well as understand demographic information for our Menttium community.. You may edit your profile at any time to change or remove personal data, or you may request to delete your profile.

We process your personal data for Menttium administration, to deliver participant benefits to you, and to inform you of Menttium-related events, content, and other benefits or opportunities related to professional and talent development.
