Last updated: 8 November 2026.
This policy explains how Migovi (migovi.com, "Migovi", "we") collects, uses, shares and protects your personal data when you visit the site. It is prepared under Vietnam's Law on Personal Data Protection No. 91/2025/QH15 and Decree 356/2025/ND-CP (effective 1 January 2026), and takes into account data protection rules that apply to readers outside Vietnam. The Govit app has its own policy on the Govit page.
1. Data controller
The blog is operated by its owner, Migovi. Any request about personal data can be sent to nghia@migovi.com.
2. Data we collect
- Automatically collected data: IP address, browser and device type, language, pages viewed, time on page and referrer. This is basic personal data, collected through Google Analytics, Jetpack/WordPress.com statistics and server logs.
- Data you send us: name, email and message when you use the Contact form or leave a comment.
- Cookies and similar technologies (see section 6).
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data (such as biometric or health data, bank account details or precise location). Please do not submit such information in forms or comments.
3. Purposes and legal bases
- Operating, securing and improving the site's content, speed and experience, and measuring readership (legitimate interests, and your consent when you keep using the site after being informed).
- Answering messages and feedback, and displaying comments (at your request and with your consent when you submit).
- Detecting and preventing spam and malicious traffic, and complying with lawful requests from competent authorities.
We do not sell personal data and do not use it for automated decisions that have legal effects on you.
4. Sharing and third-party services
We share data only with parties that help run the site, for the purposes above:
- Google (Analytics, Search Console, and YouTube when you watch embedded videos).
- Automattic (WordPress.com, Jetpack, Akismet): hosting, statistics, spam protection and the contact form.
- Social platforms, when you view or click embedded content and share buttons.
- Competent authorities, upon a lawful written request.
These parties have their own privacy policies and may host servers abroad. Your visit data may therefore be transferred to and processed outside Vietnam. We use only providers with data-protection commitments and limit what is shared to what is necessary.
5. Retention and security
- Analytics data is kept for the period configured in each service (Google Analytics, Jetpack) and then deleted or anonymised.
- Comments and contact messages are kept until you ask us to delete them or they are no longer needed.
- We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures (HTTPS, access control, spam filtering), but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. If an incident affects your personal data, we will handle and notify it as required by law.
6. Cookies
- Analytics cookies (Google Analytics, Jetpack/WordPress.com Stats): measure traffic and the most-read articles.
- Functional and security cookies (WordPress, Akismet, comments): remember your name/email for comments, prevent spam, keep administrators signed in.
- Embedded-content cookies (YouTube, social networks): set by third parties when you view that content.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Some features may work less well as a result. Continuing to use the site after being informed is taken as your consent to the cookies described above; you may withdraw consent at any time by deleting cookies and ceasing to visit.
7. Your rights
Under Vietnamese personal data law you have the right to be informed about the processing of your data; to consent or refuse, and to withdraw consent; to access, view and request correction of your data; to request provision, deletion or restriction of processing; to object to processing; to complain, denounce, sue and claim damages; and to protect your own rights. To exercise them, email nghia@migovi.com with enough information to identify you (for example the email address used for a comment). We will respond within the time limits set by law. Withdrawing consent or requesting deletion does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before.
8. Readers outside Vietnam
- European Economic Area and UK (GDPR): our legal bases are legitimate interests (running and securing the site) and consent (when you submit a form or comment). You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority where you live.
- California (CCPA/CPRA): we do not sell or "share" your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising; you have the right to know, delete and correct.
- Mainland China: if you visit from mainland China, you have rights over your personal information under the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), exercisable through the email above; processing is to operate the site and deliver content.
9. Children
The site is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect data from children (people under 16 under Vietnamese law). Children should submit information only with the consent of a parent or guardian. If you believe we collected a child's data without suitable consent, tell us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the law or our services change; the latest update date is shown at the top. The Vietnamese version is the original; the English and Chinese versions are for convenience, and if they differ the Vietnamese version prevails.
11. Contact
Questions, requests or complaints about personal data: nghia@migovi.com or the Contact page.
