Privacy Policy for MixobarMobile.com
Effective Date: May 23, 2025

MixobarMobile.com (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the website MixobarMobile.com, providing dry hire bartender services for events and cocktail classes. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and handle your information when you visit our website or inquire about our services.

Your privacy is important to us. We aim to be transparent about our data practices, especially given our minimalist approach to data collection and retention.

1. Information We Collect
We collect very limited personal information, primarily data that you provide directly to us.

a. Information You Provide Directly:
When you use our contact form (powered by WPForms) to inquire about our services, we collect the following information:

Names: To address you properly.
Phone Numbers: To contact you regarding your inquiry.
Email Address: To respond to your inquiry and communicate with you.
General Inquiry Details: Any information you choose to include in your message regarding your event, cocktail class needs, or other questions.
b. Information Collected Automatically (Planned):
We plan to use Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand how our website is performing and how visitors interact with it. If implemented, these services may collect data such as:

Usage Data: Information on how you use our website, including pages visited, time spent on pages, and navigation paths.
Device Information: Type of device, operating system, and browser type.
Location Data: General geographical location (e.g., city, country) derived from IP addresses.
IP Addresses: We will anonymize IP addresses in Google Analytics to enhance your privacy.
We do not use Google Analytics for advertising features.

2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To Respond to Inquiries: The primary purpose of collecting your name, contact information, and inquiry details is to communicate with you and provide information about our dry hire bartending services and cocktail classes.
Website Improvement (Planned): Information collected via Google Analytics and Search Console will be used to understand website performance, identify popular blog topics, and improve user experience on MixobarMobile.com.
Spam Prevention: Inquiry details may be reviewed to filter out spam messages.

3. How We Share Your Information
We share your information in a very limited manner:

Service Providers: We use Google services (Gmail for email receipt, and potentially Google Analytics/Search Console) which process data on our behalf.
Gmail: Your contact form submissions are sent directly to our Gmail account ([email protected]). Gmail’s privacy policy governs how Google handles data within its email service.
Google Analytics & Search Console: If implemented, data collected by these services is processed by Google. You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps here: www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/
Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
We do not sell your personal information to any third parties.

4. Data Retention
Our data retention policy is very strict and minimalist:

Inquiry Emails: After receiving your inquiry via our contact form, we will read and process the email. We will delete these emails immediately after responding to your inquiry or identifying them as spam. This means your inquiry details are typically retained for a very short period, often less than 24 hours.
Google Analytics Data: Data retained by Google Analytics is subject to Google’s retention policies, which you can typically configure. We will configure our settings to retain data for the shortest necessary period for our analytical needs.

5. Data Security
While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Email Security: The security of your inquiry information relies on the security protocols of Gmail, our email provider.
Minimal Data Storage: By deleting emails immediately after processing, we minimize the amount of personal data we retain, thereby reducing the risk associated with data storage.

6. Your Privacy Rights
You have certain rights regarding your personal information. Given our minimal data retention, exercising some of these rights may depend on how quickly you make your request.

Right to Access: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.
Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten): You have the right to request that we delete your personal information.
Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete information we hold about you.
How to Exercise Your Rights:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [Your Contact Email Address, e.g., [email protected]]. If you request access or deletion, we will respond to your request by providing the initial message you sent (if still available) or by confirming that the data has already been deleted in accordance with our retention policy.

7. Children’s Privacy
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 21, as they relate to bartending and adult events. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

8. International Data Transfers
As our website is accessible globally and we use service providers like Google (a U.S. company), your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in countries outside of your own, including the United States. When such transfers occur, we rely on appropriate safeguards provided by our service providers, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure your data is protected.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
