Privacy Pending legal review
Your idea is yours. We keep what the service needs, say why, and nothing is sold. Version 2026-11-05. The controller is Vincent Tyson, trading as Mi-Ware, Dublin, Ireland (details on the About page); contact support@mi-ware.ai.
Before you sign in
- Your basket, an unsent brief and how you sized the page live in your own browser's storage, not on our servers; clear them with your browser's site data.
- No tracking cookies, no advertising networks, no analytics scripts. The only cookie is the one that keeps you signed in, set when you sign in.
What an account holds, and why
| What | Why (lawful basis) | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your name and email from Google, and Google's identifier for you | To run your account and sign you in (the contract with you) | While the account exists |
| Your account type, kit, coupons, app access and devices (a random id per device) | To give you what you bought and enforce the limits (contract) | While the account exists |
| Your projects and briefs | To build and deliver them (contract). Never sold. Anonymised copies are used as in the next row | While the account exists. A project you abandon may be completed and kept by Mi-Ware as its own (User Agreement, section 5), with your name and personal data removed |
| Anonymised copies of what we store, including project data, with your name, contact details and anything else that identifies you taken out first | To refine, train and improve Mi-Ware's systems (our legitimate interest). Once anonymised, the data no longer identifies you | Kept as long as it is useful, including after your account closes |
| Billing details you enter: name on receipts, company, VAT number, country, address | To issue correct receipts and charge the right VAT (legal obligation) | With the receipts |
| Orders, receipts and credit notes | Tax and accounting law (legal obligation) | 6 years after the year of issue, even if the account closes |
| A log of what was done on your account, with times, and the address and browser of each sign-in | Security, fraud prevention and dispute resolution (our legitimate interest) | While the account exists, then 12 months |
| The emails we sent you | So we can show what was sent (legitimate interest) | 12 months |
| Which versions of the Terms and Conditions and the User Agreement you agreed to, and when | To show what was agreed (the contract, and our legal obligations as a trader) | While the account exists, then 6 years |
| Your answer to "May we send you promotional material from time to time?", with when and how you gave it | Consent; you can withdraw it any time | While the account exists |
Payments
Payments are taken by Stripe on Stripe's own page. Stripe receives your card details and the amount; we receive confirmation, the last four digits and the receipt reference, never your card number. A reservation for a build is held by Stripe on your card until delivery or release. Stripe is a separate controller for its own processing; see Stripe's privacy policy.
Who else sees your data
- Google, when you sign in: Google tells us your name, email and that the address is verified. We do not post anything to your Google account.
- Our hosting provider, on whose servers the service and the apps run, under a data-processing agreement.
- Nobody else. We do not sell, rent or share your data. Anonymised data, with nothing that identifies you, stays with Mi-Ware.
Emails
- Service emails go to everyone they concern: a welcome when you register, "your build is underway", your receipts, refunds, and notices about your account or these terms.
- Promotional emails go only to people who ticked the box, which starts unticked. Every one carries a one-click unsubscribe link that works without signing in, and your mail program's own Unsubscribe button works too. You can also change the tick on your account page.
Your rights
You can ask to see what we hold about you, have it corrected, have it deleted (we must keep receipts for 6 years by law, and tell you so), receive a copy of what you gave us, or object to the processing based on our legitimate interests. Write to support@mi-ware.ai; we answer within 30 days. If you are unhappy with our answer you may complain to the Data Protection Commission, Ireland (dataprotection.ie).
Security
The site runs over HTTPS. Sessions are random tokens of which only a hash is stored; signing out ends them. Administrative access needs a second factor. Secrets such as payment keys are never in a page or a log.
Children
Mi-Ware is for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly keep an account for anyone under 18; tell us and we will close it.
Changes
We tell you by email before a change to this notice applies, and say what changed.
Questions: support@mi-ware.ai. See also the Terms and Conditions and the User Agreement.
