Legal / Privacy Policy

Last updated: [December 1, 2025]

1. Who I am

This website (jayjwlee.com) is operated by NextMind.Digital, a one-person studio run by Jay Lee (referred to as “I”, “me”, or “the Studio” in this Policy).

This Privacy Policy explains how I collect, use, and protect personal data when you visit this website or contact me about a project.

If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Site and do not submit your personal information through any forms.

2. What this Policy covers

This Policy applies to:

  • visits to jayjwlee.com
  • messages sent via contact forms on the Site
  • direct email inquiries that originate from the Site


It does not apply to:

  • third-party websites linked from this Site
  • platforms I may use for communication (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet, Figma, Notion, etc.) — their own privacy policies will apply.

3. Data I may collect

I only collect data that is reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry or improve the Site.

3.1. Data you provide directly

When you fill out a contact form or email me, you may provide:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Company / brand name
  • Project details and goals
  • Budget, timeline, and scope information
  • Any files or references you choose to attach

You provide this information voluntarily when you decide to contact me.

3.2. Data collected automatically

Like most websites, some technical data may be collected automatically when you visit the Site, such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Referring pages and exit pages
  • Date, time, and duration of visits
  • Pages viewed and basic interaction data

This is typically processed in an aggregated or pseudonymized way to understand usage patterns and improve the Site.

3.3. Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • remember basic preferences (e.g., language, layout)
  • analyze traffic and usage in aggregate (e.g., via analytics tools)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how the Site functions, but basic access should remain possible.

4. How I use your data

I use your personal data strictly for clear and limited purposes, such as:

  • Responding to inquiries:
    To read your message, reply, and discuss your project or question.
  • Project communication:
    To follow up, send proposals, clarifications, and updates related to potential or ongoing work.
  • Administration and operations:
    To maintain basic business records (e.g., who I spoke with, what we discussed, when a project started).
  • Site performance and improvement:
    To understand how the Site is used and improve content, layout, or user flow.

I do not sell your personal data.
I do not use your data for unrelated mass marketing.

5. Legal basis for processing (where applicable)

Depending on your location, processing may be based on:

  • Legitimate interests – e.g., operating a portfolio site, responding to inquiries, improving the Site.
  • Contract or pre-contractual steps – e.g., communicating about a potential project or collaboration.
  • Consent – e.g., when you voluntarily submit a form or agree to optional cookies.

You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting me (see Section 10). This does not affect processing that has already happened before withdrawal.

6. How long I keep your data

I keep personal data only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes above:

  • Inquiry without project → usually up to 12 months after last contact.
  • Active or past client projects → data may be kept longer to comply with legal, accounting, or contractual obligations.
  • Technical/analytics data → typically stored in aggregated or pseudonymized form and not linked to specific identities where possible.

When data is no longer needed, it will be deleted or anonymized.

7. How your data may be shared

I treat your data confidentially. I may share personal data only in limited cases:

  • Service providers
    (e.g., email hosting, cloud storage, project tools) who help operate the Site or deliver services. They process data on my behalf and are expected to protect it.
  • Legal or regulatory reasons
    If required by applicable law, court order, or governmental request.

I do not sell or trade your personal data with third parties for their own marketing.

8. Data security

I take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data, such as:

  • using reputable hosting and email providers
  • using encryption (HTTPS) where applicable
  • restricting access to accounts and tools via strong authentication
  • limiting the amount of data collected to what is necessary

No system is perfectly secure, but I aim to reduce risk and handle your data with care.

9. Your rights

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may have the right to:

  • access the personal data I hold about you
  • request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • request deletion of your data, where legally permissible
  • object to or restrict certain types of processing
  • withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise these rights, please contact me using the email in Section 10.
I may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.

11. Changes to this Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

If the changes are material, I may highlight them more prominently on the Site.
