Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Adil Makhdoom (“I”, “me”, or “my”), operating the website theadil.me, collects, uses, and protects any information you provide when you use this website. Your privacy is important to me. I will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

1. Information I Collect

I may collect the following types of information:

  • Contact form submissions — your name, email address, and any message you send via the contact form on this site.
  • Email correspondence — if you email me directly, I retain that correspondence for business purposes.
  • Usage data — anonymised data about how you interact with this site (pages visited, time spent, referral source) collected via Google Analytics.
  • Device & browser data — your IP address, browser type, operating system, and screen resolution, collected automatically when you visit.

2. How I Use Your Information

Information I collect is used only for:

  • Responding to enquiries and project requests.
  • Delivering services you have hired me for.
  • Improving website content and user experience based on aggregated analytics data.
  • Sending project updates or invoices (only to clients who have engaged my services).

I do not send unsolicited marketing emails. I do not sell your data.

3. Cookies

This website uses cookies to help provide a better user experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. The cookies used on this site include:

  • Essential cookies — required for the website to function correctly (e.g. session management).
  • Analytics cookies — Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymised data about site usage. These cookies do not personally identify you. See Google’s Privacy Policy for more details.
  • Cache cookies — LiteSpeed Cache may store cookies to deliver faster page loads.

You can control or disable cookies via your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

4. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. Google Analytics collects anonymised information including pages visited, time on site, and geographic location at a country level. This data helps me understand how visitors use my website so I can improve it.

Google Analytics does not collect any personally identifiable information. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Third-Party Links

This website contains links to third-party websites including Upwork, LinkedIn, Canva, Udemy, and Coursera. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. I encourage you to read the privacy policies of any site you visit.

6. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely on servers hosted by Hostinger. I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

Contact form submissions are stored within WordPress and may be accessed only by me. I do not store payment information — all invoicing is handled through third-party platforms (Upwork, PayPal, or Wise) which have their own security policies.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

  • Right to access — you can request a copy of any personal data I hold about you.
  • Right to rectification — you can ask me to correct inaccurate information.
  • Right to erasure — you can ask me to delete your personal data, subject to any legal obligations.
  • Right to object — you can object to how I process your data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me using the details below.

8. Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed at children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data to me, please contact me and I will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date at the top. I encourage you to review this policy periodically.
