At Mintsnimz Automotive Media Ltd. ("Mintsnimz," "we," "us," or "our"), your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy details the information we collect from you, how we use it, third-party processing, and your rights under global privacy frameworks including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
1. Data Collection
We collect data to provide a seamless and secure browsing experience. The data collected falls into two main categories: actively provided information and passively collected information.
- Information You Provide: This includes personal identifiers such as your name, email address, and any contents of messages submitted through our Contact forms.
- Information We Collect Automatically: When you access our site, our servers log your IP address, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, device information, and interaction metrics.
2. Use of Your Information
The information we collect is utilized strictly to deliver our content efficiently and improve our platform. Specific uses include responding to your customer service inquiries, analyzing site traffic via anonymized metrics to improve content structuring, and ensuring the technical stability of our servers against malicious attacks.
3. Third-Party Processors
We do not sell your personal data. We may share necessary information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users. These entities are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and include hosting providers (e.g., AWS, Vercel) and analytics platforms (e.g., Google Analytics). They process data solely on our behalf and are prohibited from using it for independent marketing purposes.
4. Data Retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as is strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Contact form submissions are retained for a maximum of 12 months for customer service continuity. Analytical data, which is stripped of personal identifiers, may be retained indefinitely for long-term traffic trend analysis.
