Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Maziminds ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use maziminds.com. We collect only what we need - to answer your enquiries and to issue the puzzle links you request.
Information we collect
We collect the email address you enter at the demo email-gate, and the details you submit through our contact form: name, email, project type, timeline, and message. We do not buy personal data, and we never use your contact-form or email-gate details for advertising.
How we use your information
We use your email to generate and send the shareable puzzle link you asked for and to apply our per-email rate limit. Contact-form details are used solely to respond to your enquiry and discuss a possible project.
Legal basis & consent
We process your personal data on the basis of the consent you give when you submit the email-gate or contact form, and for the limited purpose of responding to the request you initiate. You may withdraw your consent at any time by emailing us. Withdrawal does not affect processing already carried out, but it may mean we can no longer deliver the link or follow-up you asked for.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure traffic and how people reach us - including whether AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini refer visitors. GA4 loads with Google Consent Mode set to 'denied' by default, so no analytics or advertising storage is used until you accept via the consent banner. We do not use this data for advertising, and we do not share it for others' marketing. You can withdraw consent any time by clearing the site's cookies or declining the banner. Separately, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts page visits without setting cookies, using local storage, or identifying you, so it runs whether or not you accept the banner.
Advertising
We do not show ads on maziminds.com. Our games, including Climb & Bite at climbandbite.maziminds.com, may show ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com). You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Third-party vendors
We work with these providers: Google AdSense (ads in our games), Google Analytics 4 (analytics, only after you accept), Cloudflare (hosting, security and cookieless Web Analytics), and our email delivery provider. Each processes data under its own privacy policy.
International data transfers
Our hosting and email providers may store or process data on servers located outside Gujarat, India, including in other countries. Where data is transferred across borders, we rely on providers that apply appropriate safeguards and contractual protections, and we transfer only the minimum data needed to operate the service.
Data security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures - access controls, encryption in transit, and limited retention - to protect your information against loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data retention
We keep enquiry details only as long as needed to follow up on your project, and email-gate addresses only as long as needed to manage link delivery and prevent abuse. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.
Your rights
Subject to applicable law in Gujarat, India, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data, withdraw consent, nominate another person to exercise your rights on your behalf, and opt out of future contact. You may also lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority. Email us to exercise these rights and we'll respond within a reasonable period.
Grievance officer
If you have a concern or complaint about how we handle your personal data, contact our Grievance Officer, Asif Patel, at [email protected]. We will acknowledge and address grievances within the timelines required by applicable law. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate the matter to the relevant data-protection authority - in India, the Data Protection Board.
Children's privacy
Maziminds is a business-to-business studio site, not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has given us data, contact us and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services or the law change. The "Last updated" date above always reflects the current version, and we'll highlight material changes on this page.
