FAQ

Three questions asked most often

Technically — yes. But an anonymous complaint limits options: we cannot request clarification and cannot send a response. If you are concerned about confidentiality — provide only your email.

You have the right to contact the ICO (UK) or the national DPA for EU-based clients.

Yes. Write to complaints@mentallect.com with your reference number.

If something worked — we want to know that too.

A system that only accepts complaints gradually deforms. If something in our work was precise — say so.
