Privacy Policy

Your trust matters. At azmiruddin.com, I’m committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring transparency about how it’s used. This Privacy Policy describes what data is collected, how it’s handled, and your rights regarding that data. By using this website, you agree to this policy.

1. Information I Collect

I collect information to improve your experience and maintain the website’s performance. This includes: • Personal Information: When you fill out a contact form or subscribe to a newsletter, I may collect your name, email address, and message content. • Technical Data: Automatically collected data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and referring URLs to help me analyze site usage. • Behavioral Data: Anonymous metrics on how you interact with the site, like pages visited, time spent, and clicks. These insights help optimize content and user experience.

2. How I Use Your Information

Your data is used only for specific purposes: • To respond to inquiries and provide support. • To improve site functionality and design based on analytics insights. • To send updates or announcements (only if you opt-in). • To ensure security, detect fraud, or prevent misuse of services. I never sell or share your personal data for advertising or commercial gain.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device that help the site function efficiently. I use: • Essential Cookies — required for site functionality (like remembering your preferences). • Analytical Cookies — used through tools like Google Analytics to track engagement and performance. • Functional Cookies — to remember dark/light mode and language preferences. You can disable cookies anytime in your browser settings, but doing so might limit certain features.

4. Analytics and Third-Party Tools

I use Google Analytics and similar tools to understand how visitors interact with the site. These tools may collect anonymized data such as your IP address, location (approximate), and time spent on each page. Data is aggregated and not used to identify individual users. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

5. Third-Party Integrations

This website may integrate services like form submissions, newsletter platforms, or embedded media (e.g., YouTube or social posts). These third parties may collect their own data, governed by their privacy policies. I encourage reviewing their respective privacy terms before interacting with such features.

6. Data Security

I take reasonable steps to protect your personal data against loss, theft, or misuse. The site uses HTTPS encryption, secure hosting, and limited access protocols. However, no method of internet transmission is entirely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security. You share information at your own discretion.

7. Data Retention

I retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill its purpose — such as responding to your inquiries or maintaining records for legal or operational reasons. Once data is no longer needed, it is deleted or anonymized to ensure privacy.

8. Your Rights and Control

You have full control over your personal information. You can: • Request a copy of the data I hold about you. • Ask to correct or update inaccurate data. • Request deletion of your personal data. • Withdraw consent to data collection (for example, by disabling cookies). To exercise any of these rights, email me directly at alifazmiruddin@gmail.com. I’ll respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

9. External Links

My website may include links to external resources or project pages. These sites operate independently and have their own privacy practices. I’m not responsible for their content or data handling, so please review their policies before providing any personal information.

10. Children's Privacy

This website is not intended for children under 13 years of age. I do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal data, please contact me immediately to remove it.

11. Legal Basis for Processing (For EU Visitors)

If you are located in the European Union, data collection is based on legitimate interests, consent, or legal obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

12. Changes to This Policy

I may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or personal practices. All updates will be posted on this page, and the 'Last Updated' date below will reflect the most recent version. Please review this page occasionally to stay informed.

13. Contact Information

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please contact me directly at alifazmiruddin@gmail.com. I’ll be happy to clarify or address your concerns.
