Privacy notice

What this site collects

How Mynga handles personal information, why, and what you can ask for. Last updated 18 August 2026.

In short

Who is responsible

Doan Thi My Nga, trading as Mynga, is the controller of the personal information described in this notice. Questions, requests and complaints all go to [email protected].

Cookies and tracking

This site sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser. There is no analytics library, no advertising pixel, no social media tracker and no third-party script running in any page. This is why you are not asked to accept anything: there is nothing to consent to.

Links shared by email or message may carry a short reference in the web address so that the sender can tell the message arrived. That reference is part of the link you clicked, not something stored on your device.

What is collected, and on what basis

When you use the contact form

What
Your name, your email address, your message, and a budget range if you choose one.
Why
To read your enquiry and reply to it. It is stored as well as emailed so that the enquiry survives if email delivery fails.
Legal basis
Steps taken at your request before entering into a contract. Providing it is entirely optional; you can email instead.
How long
Until the enquiry is concluded, and for up to 24 months afterwards in case you come back to it.

When you subscribe to the writing

What
Your email address, the page you subscribed from, and the dates you confirmed and unsubscribed.
Why
To send you new posts, and only after you have confirmed the address from its own inbox.
Legal basis
Your consent, which you can withdraw at any time from the one-click link in every email.
How long
Until you unsubscribe. A record that you unsubscribed is kept so that you are not added again.

When you buy something

What
Your email address, which product, the amount, and the payment reference from Stripe.
Why
To deliver the file you paid for, to honour a refund, and to keep accurate business records.
Legal basis
Performance of a contract, and a legal obligation for the accounting records. Card details are handled by Stripe and never reach this site.
How long
As long as tax and accounting rules require, currently up to 10 years for the transaction record.

When any page is visited

What
The page address, the time, the site you arrived from, your browser's user-agent and language preference, an approximate location derived from the network (city, region, country, timezone), and the name of your network operator.
Why
To understand whether the work is being read, and whether messages sent from this site are arriving.
Legal basis
Legitimate interests, specifically understanding whether published work reaches an audience. The limit of that interest is knowing a page was read, not identifying who read it.
How long
Aggregated counts are kept indefinitely. The individual records are kept for 12 months.

Your IP address

Your IP address is used at the moment of a visit to identify your network operator, and is then discarded. It is not written to the database and it is not kept in any log of this site. What is recorded instead is the operator's name, which is what the address was being read for, together with a one-way, salted hash that allows repeat visits to be counted without identifying anyone.

Addresses collected before 18 August 2026 were deleted on that date.

Who else handles it

Only the services required to run the site, and only for that purpose. None of them is permitted to use your information for their own ends.

Information leaving your country

These providers operate internationally, so your information may be processed outside the country you are in, including in the United States. Where information is transferred out of the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, it is done under the transfer safeguards those providers offer, most commonly the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Keeping it safe

The site is served only over an encrypted connection. The database is not readable from any browser: every table holding personal information denies access by default and can be read only by the site's own server code. Access to the underlying accounts is limited to Nga.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the information held about you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. You can object to the visit logging described above, ask that processing be restricted, and request your information in a portable form. You can withdraw consent to the mailing list at any time, which is immediate and permanent.

One email to [email protected] is enough, and you do not have to give a reason. A response will follow within one month. If you are not satisfied with how a request has been handled, you are entitled to complain to the data protection authority in your country.

Children

This site is intended for adults and its services are not directed at children. No information is knowingly collected from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided information here, write to the address above and it will be deleted.

Automated decisions

There is no profiling and no automated decision-making. Nothing on this site scores, ranks or categorises a person.

Changes to this notice

This notice is updated when the site changes. The date at the top always reflects the current version, and a change that materially affects how your information is handled will be announced to subscribers by email rather than made quietly.

This notice describes how the site works in plain terms. It is not legal advice and it does not limit any right the law already gives you.
