Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 18, 2025
Your privacy is fundamental to how I operate. This policy outlines how MaxtDesign collects, uses, and protects your information when you use this website. My goal is transparency and control, ensuring you feel secure and respected.
1. Information I Collect (And Why)
I collect information only when necessary to deliver my services, improve your experience, or communicate with you.
- For Inquiries & Consultations: When you reach out for a consultation or to discuss a project, I collect your Name, Email, Phone Number, Company Name, and Project Details. This is essential to understand your needs and respond effectively.
- For Newsletter Subscriptions: To subscribe to my newsletter, I only require your Email Address. This allows me to send you the insights and resources you signed up for.
- For Website Analytics: I use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors engage with this site. This includes data like your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time on site. This information is aggregated to identify trends and improve the website, helping me create more valuable content and a better user experience.
- For Advertising & Affiliate Links: This site may display ads from third-party networks and use affiliate links. These services use cookies and other tracking technologies to collect data about your visit (like which pages you view and links you click) to serve relevant ads and track affiliate sales. This information helps support the site.
2. How I Use Your Information
My focus is on using your data to deliver value, not to intrude.
- To Deliver Services: I use your information to respond to inquiries, schedule consultations, and provide the services you request.
- To Improve & Inform: Data from analytics helps me refine my website and content strategy. I may use this aggregated data to build internal “personas” that help me understand my audience’s needs better.
- To Stay in Touch: If you subscribe to my newsletter, I will use your email to send curated content, tools, and updates. This is for internal marketing only; your information is not shared for external marketing purposes.
3. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services
I do not sell your personal data. Ever.
I use a few trusted third-party services to operate my website and business. This now includes advertising and affiliate partners. These services have their own robust privacy policies, and I only share the information necessary for them to function.
- Google Analytics: To analyze website traffic and user behavior.
- Mailchimp: To manage newsletter subscriptions and send email campaigns.
- Advertising & Affiliate Partners: I may partner with third-party ad networks and affiliate programs to display ads and link to products. These partners may collect data directly from you when you interact with their ads or links.
This website may contain links to other sites (like my social profiles or project examples). Please be aware that I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those other sites.
4. Your Control & Data Rights
You have complete control over your personal information.
- Access & Amend: You have the right to request a copy of the data I hold about you and to ask for corrections.
- Deletion: You can request the deletion of your personal information at any time.
- Opt-Out: Every newsletter I send includes a clear “Unsubscribe” link. You can opt out of my mailing list instantly.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact me directly at: privacy@maxtdesign.com
5. Your Advertising Choices
You have choices regarding the collection of information by third-party advertisers. You can opt out of many third-party ad networks’ collection of information for personalized advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out page or the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page.
6. Security & Data Retention
I take the security of your data seriously. This website is protected with SSL encryption, hosted on a secure server, and I limit access to personal data to only what is necessary.
I retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, for a maximum of three years of inactivity, or until you request its deletion.
7. Future Updates
The digital world evolves, and so will this policy. I may update it from time to time to reflect changes in my practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The “Effective Date” at the top will always indicate the latest version.
