Privacy

MZE IQ LLC, of New York, NY, is the company behind this site and five products, and is the controller of the personal data described here. This notice covers all six. Where a product publishes its own privacy notice, that notice describes that product in detail; this one sets the commitments that hold across every one of them, and describes mzeiq.com itself in full.

What this notice covers

• mzeiq.com — this marketing site, described in full further down
• PaperIQ — paperiq.org/privacy
• ProdIQ — prodiq.org/privacy.html
• MLiQ — mliq.org/privacy (publishing shortly — until it does, this notice governs MLiQ)
• PinIQ — piniq.org/privacy (publishing shortly — until it does, this notice governs PinIQ)
• MeetupIQ — meetupiq.org/privacy (publishing shortly — until it does, this notice governs MeetupIQ)

What we promise on every one of them

• We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising — including under the broad meanings California law gives “sale” and “sharing”, which cover disclosure for any valuable consideration, not only money. We do not rent or trade it. The only third parties who receive it are the service providers named in this notice and in each product's own notice; they act on our instructions and may not use your data for their own purposes.
• We do not send marketing text messages from any product.
• We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. Mobile numbers and SMS consent data are never sold, rented, or shared with unaffiliated third parties.
• Using a form, or writing to us, does not add you to a mailing list.
• We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. These are business tools.

How our products use text messaging has its own page: Text messaging.

What the products collect

Each product is a separate application on its own domain, with its own accounts. To run one we hold the account details you register, the content you put into it, and records of your use of it — for as long as your account exists, and after that only as long as a legal or accounting obligation requires. The detail differs per product, which is why each publishes its own notice above.

Where you put another person's data into one of our products, you decide what goes in and why. We process it to run the product for you and for nothing else.

Where a product improves its models using data from the service, it says so in its own notice and tells you how to opt out.

What mzeiq.com itself does

The rest of this notice describes mzeiq.com, this marketing site. It has no accounts and no server-side code of its own, so the honest answer is: almost nothing. The one thing that collects anything is the contact form.

What this site does not do

mzeiq.com has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking pixels, no session recording and no cookies. Nothing on these pages profiles you, and nothing follows you to another site. There is no account to create, and reading these pages tells us nothing about you — we hold no name, no email address and no payment details for anyone who does not write to us.

What is stored in your browser

One item, and it never leaves your device: a browser localStorage entry called mze-theme, holding the word light or dark. It exists so the site remembers the theme you picked. It is not a cookie, it is never transmitted to us or to anyone else, and clearing your site data removes it.

Who else your browser talks to

One third party receives a request when you open a page here. It is not chosen for tracking, but it can see your IP address, and we would rather say so than not. Two more — described under the contact form below — are reached only if you actually submit that form:

• Firebase Hosting (Google) — the host that serves these pages, including this site's own fonts and scripts. Like any web host, it records standard request data such as IP address, user agent, and the URL requested, for delivery and security purposes.

Links out to our products

When you click through to a product — paperiq.org, mliq.org, piniq.org, prodiq.org or meetupiq.org — this site appends campaign parameters to the link so the product can tell where the visit came from. These are the five standard utm_* fields, plus a default of utm_source=mzeiq when your visit carried no campaign of its own. They describe the marketing source, not you, and no identifier is created or attached.

Each product is a separate application on its own domain. Where it publishes its own privacy notice, that notice governs the detail of how it handles your data; this one still applies to MZE IQ LLC as the company behind it.

If you use the contact form

Every page carries one form, and it is the only thing here that collects anything. It asks for an email address, optionally a name and a message, and which product you are asking about. It also asks, optionally, how you heard about us — you may leave that blank. It records which page you sent it from. Nothing is collected unless you press Send.

Pressing Send posts what you typed to n8n (mzeiq.app.n8n.cloud), an automation service on which we run our own account. It is reached at the moment you submit and at no other time — opening a page here does not contact it. Like any server, it receives your IP address. From there your message does three things: a copy is stored in that account, it is emailed to info@mzeiq.com, and a contact record is created in Twenty (api.twenty.com), the customer relationship management (CRM) system we use to keep track of who has written to us and what about.

From the email onwards the message sits in Google Workspace on the same terms as any email you send us. We use all of it to reply to you and to remember the conversation. We do not add you to a mailing list for having used the form, and we do not sell it or pass it on.

If you email us

Writing to info@mzeiq.com means we hold your message and your email address, in Google Workspace, for as long as we need it to reply and keep a record of the conversation. We do not add you to a mailing list for having written to us.

Your rights

Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete personal data we hold about you, and to object to its processing. This applies across all six properties. On mzeiq.com specifically, a visit creates no record we can look up, so in practice it covers what you have sent us — through the form or by email. In a product, it covers your account and its contents. Write to info@mzeiq.com and we will action it. One address reaches us for every property; you do not need to work out which one to ask.

Children

This site is aimed at businesses and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

If this changes — most likely by adding analytics — we will update this page and move the effective date above. We will not quietly start collecting something this page says we do not.
