MindFifth ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website mindfifth.com and a growing suite of digital products including CricFuntasy (fantasy cricket platform) and Vayu (spiritual wellness tools, upcoming). This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it — in plain language, not legalese.

4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

This website uses Google AdSense, a service that delivers advertisements provided by Google and its partners. Google's advertising cookies enable it and its partners to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page. For more information, visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

5. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We use them for:

• Essential cookies — required for session management and security. Cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
• Analytics cookies — used to understand how visitors interact with the site. Data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling all cookies may affect certain platform features.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, or as required by law. Account data is retained while your account is active. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form only.

7. Data Security

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and regular security reviews to protect your data. No system is completely secure, but we take it seriously. If you believe your data has been compromised, contact us immediately.
