ClearMind Recovery operates on a strict privacy-first philosophy. All interactive tools (streak counter, breathing exercise, HALT checker) run entirely in your browser's local storage — no data ever leaves your device, and we have zero access to your personal usage habits.
Effective Date: September 2026 | Last Updated: September 2026
1. Who We Are
ClearMind Recovery ("we," "us," or "the Site") is an independent, educational self-help blog hosted on Blogger (Google LLC). We are not a licensed medical provider, therapy service, or clinical institution.
2. What Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily
We do not require account registration. If you use our Contact form or leave a comment on a post, the following may be collected:
- Your name (or pseudonym) as entered
- Your email address (required by Blogger's comment system)
- The content of your message or comment
This data is processed by Google/Blogger's infrastructure and is subject to Google's own privacy policy.
2.2 Automatically Collected Information
Like all Blogger-hosted sites, when you visit ClearMind Recovery, Google's servers may automatically log:
- Your approximate geographic region (country/city)
- Browser type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring URL (the site that linked you here)

This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual visitors from this data.

You can clear all locally stored tool data at any time by clearing your browser's site data or localStorage.
