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.
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.
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.
If you are in the UK or EEA, we process your personal data only where we have a lawful basis under GDPR Article 6:
| What we do | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Respond to your application or inquiry | Legitimate interests, and steps prior to entering a contract at your request |
| Send marketing emails and newsletters | Consent, which you may withdraw at any time |
| Deliver quiz results and follow-up | Consent |
| Deliver services and manage client engagements | Performance of a contract |
| Site security and basic analytics | Legitimate interests in keeping the site safe and functional |
| Keep records for tax and accounting | Legal obligation |
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.
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.
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.
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.
| Data | Retention period |
|---|---|
| Application and inquiry submissions | Up to 3 years from last contact, unless you ask us to delete it sooner |
| Email subscriber records | Until you unsubscribe or request deletion, plus a suppression record so we do not email you again |
| Client records and contracts | 7 years after the engagement ends, to meet tax and legal obligations |
| Website technical logs | Typically 30 to 90 days, per our hosting provider |
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.
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.
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.
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.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we will notify subscribers by email.
Questions about this policy, your data, or to exercise any of the rights above, email heymaya@mayagaddie.com. We aim to respond within 30 days.
