This Privacy Policy explains how Mindset Your Trades("MYT", "we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you use our website, tools, and related services (the "Services").

Quick Summary

  • We aim to collect the minimum personal data necessary.
  • Tool preferences and progress (e.g., 20-Pip Challenge) are stored in your browser via local storage and are not sent to our servers unless explicitly stated.
  • We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand aggregate usage (no ads or cross-site tracking).
  • You control cookies and can opt out of non-essential ones.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information you provide to us

  • Contact details you submit via forms (e.g., name, email, message) when you request information or downloads.
  • Purchase details if we offer paid items (e.g., order information, transaction IDs). Payments are processed by third-party providers; we do not store full card details.

1.2 Information collected automatically

  • Usage data such as pages viewed, referrers, device type, and approximate location derived from IP, collected via server logs and/or privacy-focused analytics.
  • Cookies and local storage to remember preferences, measure site performance, or maintain session state. Challenge progress and tool settings may be saved in your browser only.

2. How We Use Information

  • To provide downloads, templates, and educational content.
  • To respond to your enquiries and support requests.
  • To process purchases and deliver digital items where applicable.
  • To monitor aggregate, de-identified usage to improve reliability and performance.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

3. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating the Services (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, payment processors). These providers are contractually bound to handle data in line with this Policy.

4. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal requirements, or resolve disputes. Local storage data on your device remains until you clear it.

5. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; use the Services at your own risk.

Where the UK GDPR/EEA GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following legal bases: (i) performance of a contract; (ii) legitimate interests (e.g., site operation, security, analytics); (iii) consent where required (e.g., certain cookies/communications); and (iv) legal obligations.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your data; to object to or restrict certain processing; and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise rights, contact us using the details below.

8. International Transfers

If we transfer personal data outside the UK/EEA, we will rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.

9. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use essential cookies for site functionality and may use optional analytics cookies to understand aggregate usage. You can control cookies via your browser settings. Where legally required, we will seek your consent for non-essential cookies.

10. Children

Our Services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
