Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated:

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how MingleMaze ("we", "us") processes personal data when you visit minglemaze.com (the "Site"). We publish independent affiliate bridge pages and may earn commissions when you purchase through our links.

2. Data controller

The data controller responsible for processing personal data relating to visitors to this Site is:

3. Categories of personal data we process

Depending on how you use the Site, we may process:

  • Technical and usage data collected by our self-hosted analytics (Umami): approximate location derived from a truncated/anonymised IP address, browser user-agent string, referrer URL, pages viewed, and timestamps. Umami is configured without cookies for visitors on this Site.
  • Communication data if you email us (typically your email address and message contents).

4. Purposes and lawful bases (GDPR)

  • Analytics and Site improvement: we rely on legitimate interests (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) to understand aggregate traffic and maintain security. Where required, we honour browser signals such as Do Not Track where technically feasible alongside Umami configuration.
  • Responding to enquiries: legitimate interests and, where applicable, steps prior to entering into a relationship at your request.

We do not use advertising cookies or behavioural remarketing pixels on this Site at the time of this policy's publication.

5. Cookies and tracking

MingleMaze does not set first-party advertising cookies for visitors on this Site, and we do not load third-party advertising trackers at the time of this policy. Essential cookies may still be placed by your browser or hosting edge systems outside our direct control (for example TLS session continuity); those are minimal and typical for delivering HTTPS pages.

We use a self-hosted Umami installation to measure aggregate traffic: visited URLs, referrer, browser user-agent, and an anonymised or truncated IP representation as configured in Umami. Our deployment aims to operate without persistent visitor cookies; identifiers are not used for cross-site advertising.

You can limit analytics collection by:

  • Enabling Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in a compatible browser — we configure Umami to respect applicable signals where supported.
  • Using standard privacy extensions or network filtering tools that block analytics endpoints.
  • Stopping use of the Site — no account registration is required to read our pages.

When you click affiliate links, third-party merchants (for example ClickBank or individual vendors) may set their own cookies under their policies. Review their notices before purchasing.

6. Processors and recipients

We use service providers strictly where needed to operate the Site:

  • Umami (self-hosted analytics instance operated by us) for aggregated visitor metrics.
  • ClickBank and vendor destinations when you voluntarily leave our Site via affiliate links — those parties operate under their own privacy policies when you interact with them.

7. International transfers

Our hosting may involve processing in the United States or the European Economic Area depending on deployment configuration. Where GDPR applies and transfers occur to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where relevant between us and subprocessors, or ensure processing stays within jurisdictions covered by your deployment choices.

8. Retention

Analytics events are retained only as long as needed for aggregated statistics and troubleshooting, typically on rolling periods configured in Umami (often 12 months or less unless a longer window is required for security logs). Emails are retained for as long as needed to resolve your request and comply with legal obligations.

9. Your rights (GDPR)

If the GDPR applies to our processing of your personal data, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Rectify inaccurate data
  • Erase data ("right to be forgotten") in certain circumstances
  • Restrict processing
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Data portability where processing is automated and based on consent or contract
  • Lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority

10. California residents (CCPA/CPRA summary)

California residents may have additional rights regarding personal information under the CCPA/CPRA, including rights to know, delete, and correct certain information, and to opt out of certain sharing (not applicable here while we do not sell personal information or use covered sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising as described in those laws). Submit requests via [email protected]. We will verify your request consistent with applicable law.

11. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
