What we collect and why

We collect the minimum needed to answer an editorial inquiry and to remember your consent choice. We do not run analytics, advertising pixels, or any third-party tracking.

We do not collect special categories of personal data. We do not buy, sell, or share personal data with any third party.

Where the data goes

Inquiry submissions are sent by HTTPS to a form handler on this same domain (/api/inquiry). The handler is used only to deliver your inquiry to the editorial desk and to reply. Your data is not transmitted to any third-party service, advertising network, or analytics provider.

Your rights under the PDPA

You may, at any time:

  • request a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
  • request correction of inaccurate data;
  • request deletion of your inquiry data (subject to limited record-keeping required to answer an open inquiry);
  • withdraw consent for the locally stored consent choice (clear lucidpattern_consent from your browser storage, or use your browser’s site-data controls).

To exercise any of these, write to info@lucidpattern.digital. We reply, usually within two business days.

Children

This site does not address children and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. An inquiry that discloses the sender is under 18 will be deleted without reply.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the “last updated” date above changes with it. Material changes are not applied retroactively to previously submitted inquiries.
