Privacy Policy

1. Who operates this site

MindEdge (mindedge.life) is a personal blog operated by Imran, an individual based in Singapore. This is not a company website. There is no Pte. Ltd., no UEN, and no commercial data-processing operation beyond what is needed to run a simple contact form and remember cookie preferences.

Data controller: Imran
Address: Blk 462 Crawford Lane, #02-34, Singapore 190462
Email: [email protected]
Phone: +65 6228 4750

2. Scope and Singapore law

This policy explains how I collect, use, disclose and protect personal data when you visit mindedge.life or contact me through the site. It is written to comply with the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (PDPA) of Singapore and the advisory guidelines issued by the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC).

By submitting the contact form, you consent to the collection and use of your personal data as described here. You may withdraw consent at any time by writing to me, subject to legal or legitimate retention requirements.

3. What personal data I collect

Contact form. When you use the "Say hello" form, I collect your name, email address and message content. I also record the date and time of submission (Singapore time) and whether you ticked the PDPA consent checkbox. I do not collect your phone number, NRIC, or payment details through this site.

Cookies. If you interact with the cookie banner, I store your preference (accept all, reject all, or customised choice regarding analytics cookies) in a browser cookie named mindedge_cookie_consent. This preference is retained for six months unless you clear cookies sooner.

Server logs. My hosting provider may automatically log technical data such as IP address, browser type, referring page and access time. I do not actively use these logs for profiling. They may be retained briefly for security and troubleshooting.

What I do not collect. There is no account registration, newsletter signup, e-commerce checkout or social-login on this site. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children under thirteen.

4. Purposes of collection, use and disclosure

I collect personal data only for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances:

• To read and respond to your contact-form message;
• To keep a record of correspondence if you follow up later;
• To remember your cookie preferences so the banner does not reappear unnecessarily;
• To maintain basic site security and fix technical faults.

I do not sell, rent or trade your personal data. I do not use your contact details for marketing mailings unless you explicitly ask to receive something, which this site does not currently offer.

Contact-form submissions are emailed to my designated inbox for processing. My email and hosting providers may process data on servers located outside Singapore. Where data is transferred overseas, I rely on their contractual commitments to provide a standard of protection comparable to the PDPA.

5. Consent and withdrawal

The contact form includes an unchecked consent checkbox. Submission is blocked unless you actively tick it. This ensures consent is meaningful and informed.

You may withdraw consent for future processing by emailing [email protected]. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal. If you withdraw consent, I will stop using your data for correspondence except where I must retain it for legal reasons.

6. Retention

Contact-form messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and maintain a reasonable record of our exchange — typically no longer than twenty-four months unless an ongoing conversation requires otherwise. You may ask me to delete your message sooner.

Cookie-consent records expire automatically after six months. Server logs, if retained by the host, follow the host's default retention schedule, usually thirty to ninety days.

7. Access, correction and deletion

Under the PDPA, you have the right to request access to personal data I hold about you and to request correction of any inaccurate data. You may also request deletion where retention is no longer necessary for the original purpose.

To make a request, email [email protected] with enough detail for me to identify your submission (approximate date and subject matter). I will respond within thirty days. I may charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests, as permitted by the PDPA.

8. Cookies in detail

Essential cookies. Required to remember your cookie-banner choice. Without this cookie, the banner would appear on every visit.

Analytics cookies (optional). If you choose "Accept all" or enable analytics in "Customise", I may use a lightweight analytics tool to understand aggregate page views. No advertising cookies are used. If you choose "Reject all", analytics cookies are not set.

You can change your choice at any time by clearing site cookies in your browser and revisiting the site, or by contacting me. Most browsers also allow you to block cookies entirely, though essential functions may be affected.

9. Accuracy and protection

I take reasonable steps to ensure personal data is accurate and complete when used. Please notify me if your contact details change.

I protect data with proportionate measures appropriate to a personal blog: HTTPS in transit, access limited to me, and passwords on email and hosting accounts. No system is perfectly secure; I will notify affected individuals and the PDPC where required if a data breach occurs.

10. Third-party links

This site may link to external pages (for example, the PDPC website). I am not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Review their policies before submitting data elsewhere.

11. Updates to this policy

I may update this policy when the site changes or when Singapore law requires it. The "Last updated" date at the top will change accordingly. Material changes will be noted here; continued use of the contact form after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy for new submissions.

12. Complaints

If you believe I have handled your personal data contrary to the PDPA, please contact me first so I can try to resolve the matter. If you remain unsatisfied, you may lodge a complaint with the Personal Data Protection Commission:
