Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information Biz Mindset ("we," "us," or "our") collects when you visit bizmindset.blog (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

Last updated: August 29, 2026

Information we collect

We collect information in two ways: information you choose to give us directly, and information collected automatically as you browse the Site.

Information you provide directly

We collect information you submit voluntarily through forms on the Site, described in detail in the "Contact form" and "Email newsletter" sections below. In short, this may include your name, email address, and any message you choose to send us.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, approximate location (derived from your IP address), browser and device type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on the Site, referring website, and the date and time of your visit. We collect this through Google Analytics and through cookies, both described below.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them, and allow trusted third parties to use them, for a few purposes:

  • Essential cookies — needed for the Site to function correctly.
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the Site (see Google Analytics, below).
  • Advertising cookies — used by us and by third-party ad networks to show relevant ads and measure their performance (see Third-party advertising, below).

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the Site function.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the Site — for example, which articles are popular, how people navigate between pages, and which topics resonate. Google Analytics collects information such as your IP address, device and browser information, pages visited, and referring website, and stores this using cookies placed in your browser.

Google acts as an independent data processor for this data under its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy. You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Contact form

If you use the contact form on this Site, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiry — we don't add contact-form submissions to any marketing list.

Contact form submissions are processed through Web3Forms, a third-party form-handling service, which delivers your message to our inbox. We retain contact form submissions for as long as reasonably necessary to address your inquiry and for our own record-keeping, and delete them when no longer needed.

Email newsletter

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you provide. We use it solely to send you updates about new articles and, occasionally, other information we think you'd find relevant. We use Resend, a third-party email delivery service, to manage our subscriber list and send these emails.

Legal basis and consent. We only add your email address to our list after you affirmatively submit the newsletter signup form — we treat this as your consent to receive newsletter emails from us. You can withdraw that consent at any time.

Unsubscribing. Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also ask us to remove you at any time by emailing hello@bizmindset.blog. We process unsubscribe requests promptly, and in any case within the timeframes required by applicable law (for example, within 10 business days under the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act).

To comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, every marketing email we send must include our valid physical postal address: No.91519, Monaragala, Uva, Sri Lanka. This is a legal requirement for commercial email in the United States — please replace this placeholder before sending your first newsletter campaign.

If you're in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have the right to withdraw consent at any time, free of charge, as easily as you gave it — clicking "unsubscribe" is sufficient.

Third-party advertising

This Site may display ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. These vendors, including Google, use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites, and to measure how those ads perform.

Opting out. You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com). You can opt out of personalized advertising from many other providers through the Digital Advertising Alliance (optout.aboutads.info) or the Network Advertising Initiative (optout.networkadvertising.org). If you're in Australia or New Zealand, YourAdChoices (youradchoices.com.au) offers a similar opt-out tool for participating advertisers.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Where required by law — including for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland — we work to obtain your consent before advertising cookies are set, and to give you a way to manage your preferences.

How we share your information

We don't sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers who help us run the Site, each acting on our behalf and only for the purposes described in this policy:

  • Sanity — our content management system, which hosts the articles and images published on the Site.
  • Google Analytics — website traffic analysis, as described above.
  • Web3Forms — processes contact form submissions.
  • Resend — manages our newsletter subscriber list and sends newsletter emails.
  • Google AdSense and other ad networks — serve advertising on the Site, as described above.

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections.

Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy — for example, newsletter subscriber emails for as long as you remain subscribed, and contact form submissions for as long as needed to handle your inquiry and for our records. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' own data retention settings.

Your privacy rights

European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland (GDPR)

If you're located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to certain processing, to receive a copy of your data in a portable format, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@bizmindset.blog. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you're a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion of that information, and to opt out of its "sale" or "sharing" (as those terms are defined under California law). We don't sell personal information for money. To exercise these rights, email hello@bizmindset.blog.

Australia and New Zealand

If you're in Australia, we handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). If you're in New Zealand, we handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 2020. In either case, you can ask us what information we hold about you and request that it be corrected or deleted by emailing hello@bizmindset.blog.

Children's privacy

This Site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@bizmindset.blog and we'll delete it.

Do Not Track signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There's currently no industry-standard way to respond to these signals, so our Site does not currently change its behavior when it receives one.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we hold, and we rely on reputable, well-established service providers for hosting, forms, and email delivery. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, though, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

International data transfers

Our service providers may process and store information in countries other than the one you're located in, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards — such as standard contractual clauses — to protect information transferred internationally.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we do, and for material changes we'll make a reasonable effort to give you additional notice.
