Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how I, Muhammad Anas Inam (“I”, “me”, “my”), collect, use, and protect information when you visit this website or contact me about work. I build modern web solutions (MERN/Next.js, Azure CI/CD, AI automations) and treat your data with the same care I bring to my code.

1) What this policy covers

This policy applies to my portfolio website and any forms, email sign-ups, or contact channels linked here. It does not cover third-party websites I may link to.

2) Information I collect

• Contact details you provide (name, email, LinkedIn/Upwork profile, WhatsApp number) when you reach out.
• Project information you choose to share (requirements, budgets, documents, URLs).
• Newsletter/updates email if you subscribe in the “Stay in the Loop” section.
• Usage data about how you browse my site (pages viewed, approximate geolocation via IP, device/browser), typically in aggregate. If analytics are enabled, they are used to improve performance and content.
• Cookies & similar tech that keep the site secure, remember preferences, and (optionally) provide analytics. You can manage cookies in your browser settings.

3) How I use your information

4) Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

• Consent (e.g., newsletter subscription).
• Contract (discussing or performing agreed work).
• Legitimate interests (site security, quality, and improvement).

5) Sharing & third-party services

I don’t sell your personal information. I may share limited data with trusted vendors that help me run this site and communicate with you (e.g., hosting, email, file storage, analytics). These providers process data on my behalf under appropriate agreements. I also link to third-party sites (e.g., GitHub, LinkedIn, Upwork); their policies apply there.

6) Data retention

• Inquiry and proposal records are typically kept up to 24 months for reference and continuity.
• Contract-related data is retained as required by law (e.g., tax/accounting).
• Newsletter emails are kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

7) Security

I use reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., HTTPS, access controls) to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but I continuously aim for robust, modern security practices.

8) Your rights

Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your data, and to data portability. Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time.

• EEA/UK: GDPR rights include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection.
• California (CCPA/CPRA): Rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale/share. I do not sell personal information.

9) International transfers

My infrastructure and vendors may be located in different countries. When transferring data, I use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) where required.

10) Children’s privacy

This site is not directed to children under the age applicable in your region (e.g., 13 or 16). I do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact me to remove it.

11) Changes to this policy

I may update this policy to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or services. The “Effective” date above will be updated with any change. Significant updates may be highlighted on the site.
