Last updated: April 2026

What data we collect
MTDStack collects minimal personal data. Specifically:
Analytics data (anonymised): We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use the site — which pages are visited, approximate geographic location (country level), and referring sites. Cloudflare Web Analytics is cookieless and does not collect personally identifiable information. No IP addresses are stored in a form that can identify individual visitors.
What we do not collect:
- Email addresses (no newsletter at launch)
- Names or account information
- First-party cookies
- Cross-site tracking data
- Advertising pixels (no Meta Pixel, no Google Ads tag)
Cookies
This site does not set cookies. Cloudflare Web Analytics uses a privacy-preserving approach that does not require cookies. No cookie consent banner is displayed because none is required.
When you click an affiliate link and visit a third-party tool's website, that site will set its own cookies as described in its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for cookies set on other websites.
Data processors
Cloudflare provides hosting (Cloudflare Pages) and analytics (Cloudflare Web Analytics). Cloudflare acts as a data processor. See Cloudflare's privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
Affiliate programmes: When you click an affiliate link on this site, you are directed to a third-party website (Sage, Zoho Books, FreshBooks, etc.). Each of those sites processes your data under their own privacy policy. We are not a party to that data processing.
Legal basis for processing
The anonymised analytics data collected via Cloudflare Web Analytics is processed on the basis of legitimate interests (understanding site performance, identifying technical issues). No personal data is processed for this purpose — the analytics data cannot identify individual visitors.
International data transfers
Cloudflare operates a global network. Anonymised analytics data may be processed in data centres outside the UK. Cloudflare has standard contractual clauses in place covering international transfers under UK GDPR.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port, or object to the processing of your personal data. Because we collect only anonymised, non-identifiable analytics data, it is not possible for us to identify which data (if any) relates to a specific individual.
To exercise any of these rights or to submit a data subject request, contact: [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy if our data practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
