Privacy Policy

MACROMIND was built on one non-negotiable principle: our customers' data belongs exclusively to them. We do not see it, do not access it, and do not share it.

Your privacy is our #1 priority

MACROMIND provides infrastructure — we do not monitor, analyze, or have access to any content that flows through or resides on our customers' servers. Your internal data, systems, applications, databases, and communications are completely invisible to us. Full stop.

Table of Contents

This Privacy Policy describes how MACROMIND handles information collected in connection with providing network infrastructure and hosting services. This document is governed by applicable US Federal & State Law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), and other applicable privacy regulations. For questions, contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@macromind.net.

1. Data Controller

Who is responsible for handling your information

The data controller for personal information collected in this relationship is MACROMIND, a network infrastructure services provider, with a US address at 9300 Conroy Windermere Rd #1404, Orlando, FL.

MACROMIND acts as a data controller solely for the registration and operational data that Subscribers directly provide at the time of service signup. MACROMIND does not act as a controller, processor, or sub-processor of any data that the Subscriber processes, stores, or transmits within the contracted infrastructure.

2. Our Principles

The values that guide our relationship with your data

Total Invisibility

We have zero access to the content of your servers, applications, databases, or communications.

Data Minimization

We collect only what is strictly necessary to operate and bill for the contracted services.

Security by Default

Registration data is protected with access controls, encryption, and continuous monitoring.

No Data Sales

We never sell, rent, or monetize your information for commercial purposes — ever.

Transparency

This policy is clear and straightforward. There is no fine print concealing harmful practices.

You Are in Control

You can exercise your privacy rights at any time, including deletion and data portability.

3. What We Collect

Only the minimum necessary to provide our services

MACROMIND collects only the data necessary for contracting, operating, billing, and supporting the Services:

Account Registration Data
  • Full name or company name of the account holder;
  • Tax identification number (EIN/SSN) for invoicing purposes where required;
  • Email address for operational communications and support;

Legal Basis for Collection
Data collection is based on: (1) contractual necessity — for data required to deliver the Services; (2) legitimate interest — for operational and network security records; and (3) legal obligation — for billing, tax, and regulatory compliance data. California residents, see Section 9 for CCPA-specific rights.

4. What We Do NOT Access

Our absolute commitment to non-interference with your infrastructure

Non-Negotiable Privacy Commitment
MACROMIND does not access, monitor, inspect, or store any data that resides or flows within the infrastructure contracted by the Subscriber. This includes, without limitation, any data belonging to the Subscriber's customers, end users, or internal systems.

Explicitly and irrevocably, MACROMIND declares that it never accesses:

  • Application logs, end-user access records, or analytical data from Subscriber systems;
  • Internal communications, chats, video calls, or any private transmissions.
Exception: Formal Legal Process
The only circumstance in which MACROMIND may be compelled to take action affecting Subscriber infrastructure is through a valid court order, subpoena, or other lawful legal process issued by a competent US or international authority, consistent with the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) and applicable law. Any such action will be strictly limited to what the legal instrument requires, and the Subscriber will be notified to the extent legally permitted.

6. Data Sharing

When and with whom your data may be shared

MACROMIND does not sell or share personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. Sharing, when it occurs, is strictly limited to:

  • Payment processors: billing data shared with PCI-DSS certified payment gateways solely to process transactions;
  • Infrastructure partners: IP transit providers, data centers, and connectivity suppliers receive only the minimum technical data necessary (e.g., network prefixes) for service operation;
  • Legal obligation: when required by law, court order, subpoena, or competent authority under applicable US or international law;
  • Rights protection: in situations involving fraud prevention or violations threatening network security and other Subscribers.

In all sharing scenarios, contractual clauses are in place that require third parties to maintain the same level of data protection applied by MACROMIND.
