General Information & Data Controller

This page outlines the privacy, cookie, and copyright policies for the blog Mute Doodle Den (mutedoodleden.com) and the professional portfolio (mutestas.com).

Because the site owner is a minor (a 13-year-old child), all legal and data protection responsibilities are handled by his appointed management team and legal guardians.

Privacy Policy (GDPR)

We strongly believe in digital privacy. We only collect and store data that is absolutely necessary for these websites to function and for you to communicate safely.

Information We Collect & Why

• Contact Forms & E-mails: When you use the contact form on mutestas.com or send an e-mail, we collect your name, e-mail address, and message. This is used solely to read and reply to professional enquiries.
• Blog Comments: When you leave a comment on Mute Doodle Den, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.
• Server Logs: Our hosting servers automatically record basic, anonymous information when you visit, such as your IP address and browser type. This is done purely to keep the websites secure from cyber attacks.

Data Retention & Sharing

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so we can recognise and approve follow-up comments automatically. Professional e-mails are kept only as long as necessary to discuss or complete a project.

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes. Data is only shared with trusted services that make the websites work (like our secure web host), or if strictly required by law.

Your Rights

Under the GDPR, you have the right to request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you (excluding data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes). To make a request, please e-mail management@mutestas.com.

Cookies are small text files saved on your device to help websites work smoothly. We do not use intrusive tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or third-party marketing tools.

• Portfolio (mutestas.com): This site is built with static HTML and does not use any cookies.
• Blog (mutedoodleden.com): If you leave a comment on the blog, you may opt-in to saving your name, e-mail address, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies last for one year.
