Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 1, 2026

mene.com (the “Website”) is a website operated by Menē Inc. We always want our policies to be clear and easy to understand, so this policy offers a simple breakdown of how we handle your Personal Information in connection with our Website and services. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Menē Terms of Use. Additional privacy disclosures may apply depending on where you live, including our California Privacy Notice and EEA/UK Privacy Notice.

This Privacy Policy explains how Menē collects, uses, discloses, and otherwise processes Personal Information in connection with the Website and our products and services. Certain processing activities may be subject to additional notices or consent requirements under applicable law.

This policy sets out:

  • What information we collect and why we collect it
  • How we use that information; and
  • Choices you have regarding the use of your Personal Information.

A. How We Collect and Use Personal Information

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with an individual or household, as defined under applicable law. Personal Information does not include information that is lawfully considered de-identified, aggregated, or publicly available under applicable law. We endeavor to collect only that information which is necessary for a business purpose and relevant for the purposes of processing. Below are the ways we collect Personal Information and how we use it.

B. What we collect

  1. We may collect Personal Information about you in various ways, such as when you provide it on our Website, apps, or social media channels; at our events; through surveys or via email, text messages, live chat, or phone. The types of Personal Information we collect may include:
    • Contact and account information, including name, email address, postal address, telephone number, country of residence, username, password, and communication preferences;
    • Transaction and order information, including products purchased, order history, shipping and billing information, returns, exchanges, buybacks, Menē Credit, and other transaction details.
    • Payment and transaction information, which may include payment method, billing address, transaction identifiers, and limited payment-card information. Full payment-card information may be collected and processed directly by our payment processors rather than stored by Menē;
    • Customer service and communications information, including inquiries, comments, emails, chat messages, telephone communications, photographs, or other content you provide.
    • Device and online activity information, including IP address, browser type, operating system, referring and exit pages, device identifiers, cookie identifiers, and information about your use of the Website.
    • Demographics and preference information, where voluntarily provided;
    • Geolocation information, where collected;
    • Information from third parties, including service providers, advertising and analytics partners, payment processors, fraud-prevention providers, and social media platforms.
  2. When you subscribe to email or SMS marketing, we collect the contact information you provide, such as your email address or mobile telephone number, together with your marketing preferences and consent records.
  3. As is true of most websites, but subject to your browser settings, we automatically gather information about your computer such as your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages, and operating system.
  4. We may also ask you to complete surveys that we use for research purposes, although you do not have to respond to them.
  5. We may receive information from third-party platforms, tools, widgets, plug-ins, analytics providers, advertising partners, or social media services when you interact with those features or when such providers process information on our behalf. Their independent collection and use of Personal Information may also be subject to their own privacy notices. Menē is not responsible for independent privacy practices of third parties to the extent they collect or process Personal Information for their own purposes.

C. How we use your Personal Information

We may use the information set out above to:

  1. Create and manage your account with us;
  2. Verify your identity and protect against, identify, and prevent fraud and other unlawful activity, claims, and other liabilities;
  3. Assist us in responding to your enquiries;
  4. Provide Menē products and services to you;
  5. Process and fulfill purchases, returns, exchanges, buybacks, and other transactions;
  6. Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, account misuse, security incidents, and unlawful activity;
  7. Personalize content, product recommendations, and marketing where permitted by law;
  8. Communicate with you about, and administer your participation in, special events, contests, programs, offers, surveys, and market research;
  9. Operate, evaluate, and improve business, including developing new products and services;
  10. Troubleshoot and improve the Menē online experience by analyzing performance and improving functionality;
  11. Maintain records, conduct audits, and support internal business operations;
  12. Comply with legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, sanctions, anti-money-laundering, and other compliance obligations;
  13. Evaluate or complete a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction; and
  14. Other purposes in respect of which you will be notified at the time of collection.

When you contact Menē, we may keep a record of your communication to assist us and you in ensuring that you get the best from our services.

D. How we share your Personal Information

  1. Service Providers. We disclose Personal Information to service providers that perform services on our behalf, including website hosting, payment processing, shipping, fraud prevention, customer service, analytics, marketing, communications, cloud storage, security, and similar functions.
  2. Business Partners. We may disclose Personal Information to business partners where necessary to provide a product or service, conduct promotions, or support other activities described in this Privacy Policy.
  3. Advertising and Analytics Partners. We may disclose or make available certain device, cookie, and online activity information to analytics, advertising, and social media partners for measurement, personalization, and advertising, subject to applicable law and your privacy choices.
  4. Legal and Safety Disclosures. We may disclose Personal Information where required or permitted by law or where reasonably necessary to protect Menē, its customers, employees, property, rights, or the public.
  5. Corporate Transactions. We may disclose Personal Information in connection with an actual or proposed merger, financing, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, bankruptcy, or similar transaction.
  6. With Your Direction or Consent. We may disclose Personal Information at your direction or with your consent.
  7. No Sale of Personal Information. Menē does not sell Personal Information for money. Certain disclosures involving advertising, analytics, or cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under applicable privacy laws even where no money is exchanged. Where required by law, Menē provides consumers with the right to opt out of such processing.

E. Legal Basis for processing Personal Information (EEA visitors only)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or another jurisdiction requiring a lawful basis for processing, Menē relies on one or more lawful bases depending on the activity, including performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests, consent, and, where applicable, protection of vital interests. Additional information regarding applicable lawful bases is provided in our EEA/UK Privacy Notice.

F. How we communicate with you

  1. Communications between you and Menē may be conducted via live chat, email, mail, phone, fax, text message, or by other online or electronic means. Where permitted by applicable law and with any notice or consent required by law, Menē may record or monitor telephone calls, chats, or other communications for customer service, training, quality assurance, security, fraud prevention, and recordkeeping purposes. We may contact you electronically in response to a request, inquiry, or complaint, as otherwise requested by you, or as permitted or required by law.
  2. We may also communicate with you from time to time electronically about news, promotions, special offers, and other information from Menē, regarding either Menē or its selected partners. This may include communications by email and SMS/text messaging if you have provided your consent. If you wish to unsubscribe from marketing emails or SMS/text messages from Menē, please contact service@mene.com or reply STOP to any Menē text message. Please note, however, that this request applies only to marketing communications, not to certain account-related or transactional messages, which will continue to be sent to account holders. Menē is not responsible for any additional information you provide directly to our partners, and we encourage you to review their privacy and security practices before disclosing personal information to them.

G. Data Retention

  1. We retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide products and services, maintain accounts and transaction records, comply with legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.
  2. Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, the duration of our relationship with you, applicable limitation periods, and legal or regulatory requirements. When Personal Information is no longer required, we may delete, deidentify, or aggregate it in accordance with applicable law.

H. International Data Transfers

Menē operates internationally and may process Personal Information in countries other than the country in which you reside, including Canada and the United States. Where required by applicable law, Menē uses recognized safeguards for international transfers, such as adequacy decisions, contractual safeguards, or other lawful transfer mechanisms. Additional information regarding transfers of EEA Personal Information is provided in our EEA/UK Privacy Notice.

I. Security

Menē uses reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, use, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and should notify us promptly if you believe your account or credentials have been compromised.

J. Children’s Privacy

The Website and Menē’s services are not directed to children under 18, and Menē does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 18 except as permitted by applicable law. If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child in violation of applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

K. Cookies and Similar Technologies

  1. Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies. Menē and its service providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, software development kits, and similar technologies to operate the Website, remember preferences, understand how users interact with the Website, measure performance, prevent fraud, personalize content, and support advertising and marketing.
  2. Necessary and Optional Technologies. Certain cookies and similar technologies are necessary for the Website to function. Other technologies, including analytics and advertising technologies, may be subject to consent or opt-out requirements depending on your location.
  3. Managing Cookie Preferences.

Additional information regarding the cookies and similar technologies used on the Website may be provided in a separate Cookie Notice.

    • Legitimate interests, including operating and improving the Website and Menē’s services, maintaining security, preventing fraud and misuse, analyzing performance, managing customer relationships, and protecting Menē’s legal rights;
    • Consent, where required for activities such as certain marketing communications, cookies, targeted advertising, or other optional processing; and
    • Protection of vital interests, where applicable.

    Where Menē relies on legitimate interests, it considers whether those interests are overridden by your data protection rights and freedoms.

  3. Categories of Personal Information. The categories of Personal Information Menē may process are described in the “What We Collect” section of the Menē Privacy Policy and may include contact and account information, transaction and order information, payment and transaction information, customer service and communications information, device and online activity information, demographic and preference information, geolocation information, and information received from third parties.
  4. Recipients of Personal Information. Menē may disclose Personal Information to the categories of recipients described in the Menē Privacy Policy, including service providers and processors, payment processors, shipping and logistics providers, fraud-prevention and security providers, analytics and advertising partners, social media platforms, professional advisers, affiliates and business partners, government authorities, and parties involved in an actual or proposed corporate transaction.
  5. Data Retention. Menē retains Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide products and services, maintain transaction and account records, comply with legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and regulatory obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the information, the purpose for which it was collected, the duration of Menē’s relationship with you, applicable limitation periods, and legal or regulatory requirements. Additional information is provided in the Data Retention section of the Menē Privacy Policy.
  6. Information Required to Provide Services. Certain Personal Information may be necessary for Menē to enter into or perform a contract with you or comply with legal obligations. If you do not provide information that is required for those purposes, Menē may be unable to create or maintain your account, process a transaction, fulfill an order, provide certain services, or comply with your request.
  7. Automated Decision-Making. Menē does not engage in solely automated decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant effects concerning you, unless otherwise disclosed and permitted by applicable law.
  8. Your Data Protection Rights.
    • Right of Access. You may request confirmation as to whether Menē processes your Personal Information and, where applicable, request access to that Personal Information and information regarding how it is processed.
    • Right to Rectification. You may request correction of inaccurate Personal Information and completion of incomplete Personal Information.
    • Right to Erasure. You may request deletion of your Personal Information in certain circumstances, including where the information is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, you withdraw consent and no other lawful basis applies, you successfully object to processing, the information has been processed unlawfully, or deletion is required by law.
    • Right to Data Portability. Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request a copy of certain Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and may request that it be transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
    • Right to Restriction of Processing. You may request restriction of processing in certain circumstances, including while Menē verifies the accuracy of disputed information, where processing is unlawful but you request restriction rather than deletion, where Menē no longer needs the information but you require it for legal claims, or while Menē considers an objection to processing based on legitimate interests.
    • Right to Object. You may object to processing based on Menē’s legitimate interests where your particular situation gives you grounds to do so. You may also object at any time to processing of Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. Where you object to direct marketing, Menē will stop using your Personal Information for that purpose, although limited information may be retained on a suppression list to honor your request.
    • Right to Withdraw Consent. Where Menē relies on your consent to process Personal Information, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn and may affect Menē’s ability to provide certain optional services.

    These rights may be subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law.

  9. Identity Verification. Menē may take reasonable steps to verify your identity before responding to a request, taking into account the nature of the request and the Personal Information involved.

Menē may also rely on applicable adequacy decisions where available.
    • You may contact privacy@mene.com for additional information regarding applicable transfer safeguards.
