Privacy Policy

What I collect

• Contact form: your name, email address, WhatsApp number (optional), the service you need, your budget range and the project details you write. You choose what to send.
• Emails and WhatsApp messages you send me directly, including any files or access details you share for a project.
• Analytics: Google Analytics 4 records anonymous usage data such as pages visited, approximate location (country/city), device and browser type, and how you arrived at the site.
• Technical data: like every website, the hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes your IP address and basic request data to deliver pages and block attacks.

Why I use it

• To reply to your enquiry, prepare a quote and deliver the work you hire me for.
• To understand which pages are useful and improve the website.
• To protect the site and the contact form from spam and abuse.

I do not sell, rent or trade your personal data, and I do not add you to a mailing list without asking.

Cookies and local storage

• Google Analytics cookies (_ga and related) measure visits. You can block them in your browser or with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
• A "cur" cookie remembers which currency to show prices in (PKR, GBP or USD). It is set from your country and contains nothing else.
• Your light/dark theme choice is saved in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device.

Services that process data for me

• Cloudflare: hosting, security and, where enabled, spam protection on the contact form (Turnstile).
• Resend: delivers contact form messages to my inbox.
• Google: Google Analytics, and Gmail for email.
• WhatsApp (Meta): if you choose to message me on WhatsApp.

These providers may store data on servers outside your country, including in the United States. Each has its own privacy policy.

Client project data

When you hire me, you may share logins, hosting access or customer data stored on your website. I use that access only for the agreed work, do not copy your customer data for any other purpose, and recommend you change passwords or remove my access once the project ends.

How long I keep data

Enquiries that do not become projects are deleted within 12 months. Project emails and invoices are kept as long as needed for support, accounting and tax records. Analytics data is kept according to the data retention setting in Google Analytics.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data I hold about you, or ask me to stop using it. Email contact@mzadev.com with the subject "Privacy request" and I will reply within 30 days. If you are in the UK or EU you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Children

This website is meant for businesses and adults. I do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: contact@mzadev.com.
