1. Information I Collect
1. Information I Collect
When you contact me: Your name, email address, website URL, project description, and budget range — only what you provide in the contact form or email.
When you visit this site: Basic analytics data including pages visited, time spent, browser type, device type, and general location (country/city level only). I do not collect personally identifiable information through analytics.
When we work together: Project-related data such as site URLs, GSC access, server logs, and any files you share for the purpose of the project. This data is handled under a separate project agreement.
2. How I Use Your Information
2. How I Use Your Information
I use your information only for legitimate purposes:
- Responding to your inquiries and project requests
- Delivering services you've hired me for
- Improving this website based on usage patterns
- Sending relevant follow-ups about your project (only if related to our conversation)
I will never use your data for marketing purposes, sell it to third parties, or use it in any way unrelated to the reason you shared it.
3. Cookies & Tracking
3. Cookies & Tracking
This site uses minimal tracking:
Essential Cookies
Required for basic site functionality. These cannot be disabled.
Analytics
I may use privacy-respecting analytics (no personal data sold, no cross-site tracking). No Google Analytics by default.
I do not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or third-party tracking scripts. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
4. Third-Party Services
4. Third-Party Services
When working on your project, I may use third-party tools that process data. These include:
Each of these services has their own privacy policies. I only grant access to these tools when necessary for your project and remove access when the project ends. I am not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, but I choose services that respect user privacy.
5. Data Sharing
5. Data Sharing
I do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with anyone — except in these limited cases:
- With your explicit permission — for example, sharing project details with a developer you've asked me to coordinate with.
- Legal requirements — if required by law, court order, or government regulation.
- To protect my rights — in cases of fraud, abuse, or legal disputes.
That's it. No hidden data sharing. No selling to data brokers. No surprises.
6. Data Security
6. Data Security
I take reasonable measures to protect your data:
No system is 100% secure, but I follow industry-standard practices and keep my security measures up to date. Project-related files and access credentials are removed once the engagement ends, unless you request otherwise.
7. Data Retention
7. Data Retention
I keep data only as long as necessary:
Contact form data
Kept for up to 12 months, then deleted unless we're actively working together.
Project files & data
Retained during the project and for 30 days after delivery, then deleted unless you request extended storage.
Analytics data
Anonymized and aggregated. Raw data purged periodically based on the analytics tool's settings.
8. Your Rights
8. Your Rights
You have full control over your data. At any time, you can:
- Request access — ask what data I hold about you
- Request correction — fix any inaccurate information
- Request deletion — ask me to delete your data
- Withdraw consent — stop any ongoing data processing
- Object to processing — request I stop using your data for specific purposes
To exercise any of these rights, simply email me at hello@abdulaouwal.com. I'll respond within 48 hours.
9. International Visitors
9. International Visitors
This site is accessible worldwide. If you're visiting from the EU, UK, or other regions with data protection laws (GDPR, etc.), your rights under those laws still apply. I process data in compliance with these regulations.
I don't use data transfers that would violate your local privacy laws. If you have concerns about data transfer from your jurisdiction, contact me and I'll explain exactly how your data is handled.
10. Children's Privacy
10. Children's Privacy
My services are directed at businesses and professionals, not children. I do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If I discover that I've inadvertently collected data from a child, I'll delete it immediately upon notification.
11. Changes to This Policy
11. Changes to This Policy
I may update this privacy policy from time to time. When I do, I'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, I'll add a notice on the site. Continued use of the site after updates means you accept the revised policy.
