Privacy Policy - FassihFayyaz.net

If you contact me through the contact form, I may collect:

• Your Name
• Your Email Address
• Any information you include in your message

This information is sent directly to me by email.

I may use analytics tools, such as Google Analytics 4 or a similar analytics service, to understand how visitors use the website. These tools may collect information such as:

• IP address or approximate location
• Browser type and device information
• Pages viewed
• Time spent on pages
• Referral source
• Interactions with the site

Where required by law, analytics cookies or similar technologies will only be used after you give consent.

This website may display ads through Google AdSense. Ad providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Show and measure ads
• Limit repeated ads
• Personalize ads, where permitted and consented to
• Detect fraud and improve ad services

Some articles, especially reviews, comparisons, alternatives, and best-of lists, may contain affiliate links. If you click one of these links, the affiliate partner may track that click and may place cookies or use similar tracking methods to attribute a referral.

I do not directly receive your payment details from these third-party merchants.

I may process personal data for the following purposes:

• To respond to messages you send through the contact form
• To operate, maintain, and improve the website
• To understand website traffic and performance
• To display advertising
• To measure the performance of affiliate content
• To protect the website against abuse, spam, and security threats
• To comply with legal obligations

I rely on consent where required, for example for non-essential cookies such as analytics or advertising cookies.

I may process certain data where it is necessary for my legitimate interests, such as:

• Running and improving the website
• Maintaining security
• Responding to inquiries
• Understanding content performance in a privacy-conscious way

I only rely on legitimate interests where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

I may process data where necessary to comply with applicable laws.

If you contact me through the contact form on this website:

• The information you submit is sent to me by email at fassihfayyaz@gmail.com
• I use this information only to respond to your inquiry or manage related communication
• Based on current setup, contact form submissions are not intentionally stored in a separate website database for long-term retention, although limited temporary processing by your website host, plugin, or email provider may still occur as part of normal delivery and technical logging

Please do not send sensitive personal information through the contact form unless it is necessary.

I plan to offer a newsletter in the future, likely on a weekly basis. At the moment, newsletter signup is not active on the website.

If a newsletter is launched later:

• This Privacy Policy will be updated
• The email marketing provider used (for example, Mailchimp or another provider) will be identified
• The policy will explain what data is collected, how consent is obtained, and how you can unsubscribe

If you subscribe in the future, you will generally be able to unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in newsletter emails.

This website may use cookies and similar technologies for:

• Basic website functionality
• Analytics
• Advertising
• Affiliate tracking

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can help websites function properly, remember preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising or affiliate attribution.

Where required by law, I will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies, including analytics and advertising cookies.

You can usually manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. If a consent banner is available on the website, you can also use it to change your cookie choices.

This website may use Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Serve ads based on prior visits to this site or other sites
• Measure ad performance
• Detect fraud and abuse

Depending on your location, you may be asked to consent to personalized or non-essential advertising cookies before they are used.

For more information about how Google uses information in advertising, please review Google’s own privacy and advertising documentation.

Some content on this website contains affiliate links. This means I may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate partners may use their own cookies or tracking methods. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies, not this Privacy Policy.

I aim to be honest and transparent in my reviews and recommendations.

Depending on the tools used on the website, your data may be processed by third parties such as:

• Website hosting providers
• Email providers
• Analytics providers such as Google Analytics
• Advertising providers such as Google AdSense
• Affiliate networks and merchants
• Website security, performance, or anti-spam providers

These third parties process data under their own privacy policies and may act as controllers or processors depending on the service they provide.

Because this website is available worldwide and some service providers may be located outside your country, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your jurisdiction, including countries that may not provide the same level of data protection.

Where required, I aim to use service providers that offer appropriate safeguards for international data transfers, such as:

• Contractual protections
• Standard contractual clauses
• Other lawful transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable law

I keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

In general:

• Contact form emails may be kept for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, maintain records, or handle follow-up communication
• Analytics data is retained according to the settings of the analytics provider
• Advertising and affiliate tracking data retention is determined by the relevant third-party provider
• Data may be kept longer where necessary for legal, accounting, or security reasons

If GDPR or similar privacy laws apply to you, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data I hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Request restriction of processing
• Object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent
• Request data portability, where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, email me at: fassihfayyaz@gmail.com.

I may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests.

I take reasonable steps to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.

This website is not intended for children, and I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through this website, please contact me so I can review and remove the information where appropriate.

This website may link to third-party websites, tools, and services. I am not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of those external websites. You should review their privacy policies before providing personal data.

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, legal requirements, or the services I use.

When I make changes, I will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Please review this page periodically for the latest information.
