(Legal) Privacy

Privacy policy.

Short version: this website has no accounts, no forms, no analytics and no advertising cookies. We only receive personal data when you choose to email us, and we use it to answer you.

01Who we are

This website is operated by MintNode ("MintNode", "we", "us"). For anything related to privacy, contact us at [email protected].

02What we collect

When you email us. Every contact button on this site opens your own email app. If you write to us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, the content of your message and any attachments. The project configurator only builds the text of that email in your browser; nothing is sent to us until you send the email yourself.

When you visit the site. Like every website, our hosting and security provider processes technical data needed to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request.

What we do not do. We do not use analytics, tracking pixels, advertising cookies or session recording, and we do not create user profiles.

03Why we use it and on what basis

• To reply to your message, prepare a proposal, quote or license terms, and to enter into or perform a contract with you (steps prior to a contract and contract performance).
• To keep the website available, fast and secure (our legitimate interest in running a safe website).
• To meet legal, tax and accounting obligations when we work together (legal obligation).

04Service providers

We use a small number of trusted providers who process data on our behalf:

• Cloudflare for hosting, content delivery, DNS and security. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary security cookies to tell people from bots and may hide email addresses on the page from spam robots.
• Google Fonts to load the typefaces used on this site. Your browser requests the font files from Google, which receives your IP address.
• Rackspace Email (provided through Cloudways) to receive and send our email.

Some of these providers are located in or transfer data to the United States. Where required, such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

05How long we keep it

We keep email correspondence for as long as needed to handle your request and for up to three years after our last contact, unless we work together, in which case we keep what the contract and the law require. Technical logs are kept by our hosting provider for a short period according to its own policy.

06Cookies and local storage

This website does not set its own cookies and does not store anything in your browser. The only cookies you may receive are strictly necessary security cookies set by Cloudflare. Because we do not use optional cookies, we do not show a cookie banner.

07Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to its use, to receive a copy in a portable format, and to withdraw consent at any time. To use any of these rights, email [email protected]. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

We do not sell or share personal data for advertising purposes.

08Security

The site is served only over encrypted HTTPS connections with modern security headers, and our email is protected with SPF and DMARC. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, but we work to protect the data you share with us.

09Children

This website and our services are intended for businesses. They are not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

10Changes

If we change how we handle personal data, for example by adding a contact form or analytics, we will update this page and the date above before the change takes effect.
