The short version
This website does not have accounts, a database or a checkout. When you send an order, your details are placed into a WhatsApp message that you send to us. We use them only to prepare and deliver your order. Nothing you type is saved on this website.
Who we are
Mindful Munchies is a home-based bakery in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, founded by Akanksha Nair. For anything about your data, contact us at mindfulmunchies3@gmail.com or on WhatsApp at +971 50 559 5814.
What we collect and why
When you build an order and press “Send order on WhatsApp”, we ask for:
- Your name and phone number, so we can confirm the order and contact you about it.
- Your Emirate and, if you choose, an address, so we can arrange delivery.
- Anything you add in the notes, such as a delivery date, a message for a cake, or allergies and dietary needs.
We use these details only to prepare, confirm and deliver what you ordered, and to answer your questions about it. We do not use them for marketing unless you ask us to, and we never sell them.
If you tell us about an allergy or a health-related dietary need, we treat that as sensitive information and use it solely to prepare your order safely.
How the WhatsApp hand-off works
The website composes a message containing your order and the details above and opens it in WhatsApp on your device. Nothing is sent until you press send inside WhatsApp, and you can edit the message first. From that point the conversation is held on WhatsApp, which is operated by Meta Platforms and governed by WhatsApp’s own privacy policy.
What stays on your device
Your basket is kept in your browser’s local storage so it survives a page refresh. It never leaves your device and is not visible to us. This website does not use cookies, analytics or advertising trackers.
Hosting
The pages are served by our hosting provider, which may keep standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested) for security and to keep the service running. We do not combine these logs with your order details.
How long we keep your details
Your order conversation stays in our WhatsApp chat history so we can handle repeat orders and any questions. Ask us at any time and we will delete the conversation and any record of your details, unless we need to keep a basic record for accounting.
Your rights
Under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law you can ask us to show you the details we hold about you, correct them, delete them, or stop using them. You can also withdraw any consent you have given. Message us at mindfulmunchies3@gmail.com and we will respond as quickly as we can.
Children
Our website and ordering are intended for adults. If you are under 18, please ask a parent or guardian to place the order.
Changes to this notice
If we change how we handle your details, we will update this page and the date at the top.
