Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Maya Gaddie International ("MGI," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. It applies to visitors worldwide, including the UK and European Economic Area under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and California residents under the CCPA/CPRA.

Who We Are

Maya Gaddie International is the data controller responsible for your personal data. You can reach us at heymaya@mayagaddie.com or at the postal address at the end of this policy.

What We Collect

We only collect information you choose to give us, plus limited technical data collected automatically.

We do not collect special category data such as health, religious, or biometric information, and we ask that you do not send it to us.

Legal Basis for Processing

If you are in the UK or EEA, we process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis under GDPR Article 6:

How We Use Your Information

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not make decisions about you using automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are in the UK or EEA, you have the rights below. You can exercise any of them free of charge by emailing heymaya@mayagaddie.com, and we will respond within one month.

Your Rights Under CCPA and CPRA

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose; the right to request deletion; the right to correct inaccurate information; and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined under California law. To make a request, email us at the address below.

International Data Transfers

Maya Gaddie International is based in the United States, and our service providers may also process data in the United States. If you are in the UK or EEA, this means your personal data may be transferred outside your country. Where that happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and equivalent UK transfer mechanisms, which our providers such as Mailchimp (Intuit) and Netlify maintain. You can request more information about these safeguards by contacting us.

Service Providers

We use trusted third parties to run this website and our business. They access your information only to perform their function and are contractually obligated to protect it.

Cookies

This site uses only essential cookies required for it to function, plus optional analytics cookies that help us understand how the site is used. Non-essential cookies are set only if you consent through our cookie banner. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing your browser storage for this site and reloading the page, or by adjusting your browser settings.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections, access controls, and vetted providers. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we treat your information with care and limit who can access it.

Children's Privacy

This website and our services are intended for business owners and are not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
