The information must be retained or processed to comply with applicable laws, accounting requirements, tax obligations, court orders, or lawful government requests.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences, protect forms, prevent spam, understand website traffic, and improve performance.

Cookies used by the website may include:

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for security, form functionality, page delivery, website administration, and other basic features.

Security Cookies

Security providers may use cookies or similar technologies to identify malicious traffic, prevent spam, protect forms, and defend the website against attacks.

Analytics Cookies

If website analytics are enabled, analytics services may collect information about page visits, traffic sources, devices, and website usage. This information helps identify which content is useful and where the website can be improved.

Third-Party Cookies

External platforms, embedded content, social media links, videos, maps, or other third-party services may place or access their own cookies when you interact with them.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website work.

Where required by applicable law, consent will be requested before non-essential cookies or tracking technologies are activated.

7. Third-Party Services

Personal or technical information may be processed through trusted service providers that support the operation of the website or delivery of services. These may include:

Only the information reasonably necessary for the relevant service will be shared.

8. Social Media and External Platforms

The website includes links to third-party platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Fiverr, Upwork, and other external websites.

When you click an external link or communicate through one of these platforms, that platform may collect information about you according to its own privacy policy. I do not control how third-party websites collect, store, or use your information.

You should review the privacy settings and policies of any external platform you use.

9. Embedded Content

Blog posts or website pages may contain embedded videos, images, social media content, maps, articles, or other content provided by third-party websites.

Embedded content may behave as though you visited the third-party website directly. The provider may collect technical information, use cookies, or monitor your interaction with the embedded content.

10. How Information Is Shared

I do not sell or rent your personal information.

Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary:

  • With service providers supporting the website or requested service

  • With contractors or collaborators involved in your project, where necessary

  • With professional advisers

  • To comply with a legal obligation, court order, or lawful request

  • To investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or unlawful activity

  • To protect my rights, property, website, clients, or other individuals

  • As part of a business reorganisation or transfer, subject to appropriate safeguards

Contractors and collaborators should only receive the information required to complete their assigned work.

11. International Data Transfers

Some website, hosting, analytics, communication, cloud-storage, social media, marketplace, or software providers may process information outside Bangladesh or outside your country of residence.

Where applicable, reasonable safeguards will be used to protect personal information during international transfers. However, privacy and data protection laws may differ between countries.

By using third-party platforms directly, you may also transfer your information according to the terms and privacy practices of those platforms.

12. Data Retention

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

As a general practice:

  • Enquiries that do not become active projects may be retained for up to 24 months after the last communication.

  • Information related to active or completed projects may be retained for the duration of the client relationship and for a reasonable period afterwards.

  • Contracts, invoices, transaction records, and business documents may be retained for the period required by applicable accounting, tax, or legal obligations.

  • Technical and security logs may be retained for a limited period unless they are needed to investigate an incident.

  • Information may be retained longer when necessary to resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, or comply with the law.

Information that is no longer required will be deleted, anonymised, or securely archived where reasonably possible.

13. Data Security

Reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures are used to protect personal information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or loss.

These measures may include:

  • HTTPS encryption

  • Website security and firewall tools

  • Spam and malicious-traffic protection

  • Restricted administrative access

  • Strong authentication practices

  • Software and plugin updates

  • Website backups

  • Security monitoring

  • Access controls for service providers and contractors

However, no website, email service, communication platform, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should avoid sending passwords, banking information, or highly confidential information through an ordinary contact form or unencrypted message.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and the laws that apply, you may have the right to:

  • Ask whether your personal information is being processed

These rights may be limited by legal exceptions. For example, certain information may need to be retained for contractual, security, accounting, tax, or legal reasons.

To submit a privacy request, use the website’s Contact page and clearly describe your request. Reasonable information may be requested to verify your identity before providing, correcting, or deleting personal information.

I do not discriminate against individuals for exercising privacy rights available under applicable law.

15. California Privacy Information

Where the California Consumer Privacy Act or related California privacy law applies, California residents may have rights to request information about personal information collected, used, disclosed, or shared; request correction or deletion; and receive equal service when exercising their rights.

I do not sell personal information and do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

I do not use information submitted through this website to make decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

This website and its services are intended for businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals, and adults seeking website-related services. They are not directed to children under the age of 18.

I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the website, please contact me so that it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.

19. External Links

This website may link to client websites, portfolio projects, social media profiles, freelance marketplaces, tools, articles, and other third-party resources.

I am not responsible for the security, content, availability, or privacy practices of external websites. Visiting an external website is subject to that website’s own terms and privacy policy.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when website features, forms, service providers, legal requirements, or business practices change.
