Privacy Notice

Last updated July 2, 2026

This Privacy Notice explains how CognitiveClouds, operated by Mahalo Digital Ventures, Inc. (“CognitiveClouds,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website or engage our software engineering services. It applies to this site and related pages that link to it.

Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

  • Information you provide. When you contact us, request an assessment, subscribe to updates, or submit a form, we collect the details you choose to share — such as your name, work email, company, and the contents of your message.
  • Usage and device information. Like most websites, we may automatically collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, referring URLs, and interaction events, primarily to keep the site secure and to understand how it is used.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. We use essential cookies to make the site function and, with your consent, optional analytics cookies. See “Cookies and analytics” below.

How we use information

We use the information we collect to:

  • respond to inquiries and provide the services you request;
  • operate, maintain, secure, and improve this website;
  • understand aggregate usage and measure the performance of our content (only where analytics consent has been given);
  • send communications you have asked for, and administer our relationship with clients and prospects;
  • comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

Cookies and analytics

Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them. Optional analytics cookies are only set after you accept them in our cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer. Where analytics tools are used, consent signals govern whether measurement data is collected.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who process data on our behalf (for example, hosting, communications, and analytics), under contractual obligations to protect it and use it only for the services they provide to us;
  • Legal and safety recipients where disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect our rights, users, or the public;
  • Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Notice.

Data retention

We retain personal information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Notice, to maintain our business relationship, and to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

Security

We maintain administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Residents of the European Economic Area and United Kingdom have rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR, and California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

International transfers

We may process and store information in countries other than the one in which you reside. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers of personal information.

Children’s privacy

This website is intended for a business audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this Notice

We may update this Privacy Notice from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated through this page.
