Privacy Policy.

1. Who we are

MindsView Invention ("we", "us", "our") is a product development and invention support company based in Hinsdale, Illinois. This policy applies to the website at mindsviewinnevetion.com (the "site") and to information you share with us when you request a consultation or engage our services.

2. Information we collect

We collect only what we need to respond to your inquiry and deliver our services:

• Contact details — your name, email address, phone number, and company name (if provided).
• Project information — descriptions, drawings, and materials you send us about your concept or project.
• Service history — records of the consultations and services we have provided.
• Email engagement data — delivery status, open/click events where enabled, and bounce/complaint notifications (used to protect sender reputation).
• Website usage data — browser type, device type, approximate location (city level), pages visited, and referring URL, collected via server logs and (where applicable) privacy-respecting analytics.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13, and we do not collect sensitive categories of personal data through the site.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your consultation request and prepare a written quote.
• Deliver the services you have engaged, including project milestone updates.
• Send transactional and operational emails related to your project.
• Maintain accurate business and tax records.
• Improve the site and our services through aggregated, non-identifying analytics.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising or marketing lists.

4. Legal basis for processing

If you are located in a jurisdiction that requires a legal basis for processing personal data, we rely on the following bases: performance of a contract (to quote and deliver services), legitimate interests (to operate and improve our business), compliance with legal obligations, and, where required, your consent.

5. Email communications and data

We use email only for legitimate transactional and operational purposes related to your project. This includes: receiving and replying to service requests, quote confirmations, project milestone updates, scheduling notices, and customer support. We do not send marketing, promotional, newsletter, or bulk email, and we do not rent, scrape, or buy third-party email lists.

Our email is delivered through Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). Delivery results, bounce notifications, and complaint notifications are processed so we can maintain a good sending reputation and suppress addresses with permanent delivery problems or complaints. SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are enabled on our domain.

6. Cookies and analytics

The site uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies to function correctly and to understand aggregate visitor behavior. These may include essential cookies (site functionality), analytics cookies (aggregate page views), and preference cookies (remembered settings). You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. More detail is in our cookie policy.

7. How we share information

We share personal information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted vendors who help us operate the business (email delivery, hosting, payment processing). They are permitted to use your information only to provide the service to us.
• Legal requirements — when required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or the safety of others.
• Business transfers — if we sell or transfer all or part of the business, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy commitments.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide the services you requested, to honor our re-work obligations, to maintain accurate business records, and to comply with legal requirements. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

9. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information you share with us, including restricted access to project records, secure email delivery, and staff training on handling personal data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information in proportion to its sensitivity.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you; to object to or restrict certain processing; to request a portable copy of the information you provided to us; and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 13. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with applicable law, and may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

11. International visitors

The site is operated from the United States. If you access it from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the U.S., where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the site or requesting services, you consent to this transfer.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will change, and material changes will be announced on the site home page. Continued use of the site or continued engagement of our services after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
