Who We Are
DrMingWay.com is the personal teaching and philosophy site of Dr. Ming Way. The site shares Ming’s writings, teaching approach, and educational philosophy. Our website address is: https://drmingway.com.

What Personal Data We Collect
DrMingWay.com is intentionally minimal. We only collect personal data in two situations:
1. When you sign up to “Receive Ming’s Letters”
If you choose to receive Ming’s Letters, your email address is collected and added to a mailing list managed through Brevo (formerly Sendinblue).
Brevo stores your email securely and allows Ming to send periodic letters or updates. You may unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email you receive.
2. When you make a donation
The “Donate” button opens a secure payment page powered by Stripe, facilitated through Zhengate.
Stripe may collect:
-
payment information
-
billing details
-
your email (for receipts)
DrMingWay.com does not receive or store your payment card details. All payment processing is handled by Stripe under their own privacy and security policies.
Your card statement will show: 4PM Zen Productions LLC. This is the legal entity that processes donations on behalf of DrMingWay.com.
Cookies
DrMingWay.com does not use cookies for comments, accounts, or login sessions because the site does not offer those features.
However:
-
Brevo may set cookies related to email subscription forms

Stripe may set cookies necessary for secure payment processing
These cookies are controlled by those services and are not used by DrMingWay.com for tracking or advertising.
