Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Gias Ul Hassan ("I", "me", "my") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit this website or get in touch about a project.

Information I collect

I only collect what I need to respond to you and run this site:

  • Information you give me — when you submit a contact form, request a quote, or book a call, I collect your name, email address, phone number (if provided), and any project details you share.
  • Information collected automatically — like most websites, basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring site may be collected through analytics and server logs.

How I use your information

  • To reply to your enquiry and discuss your project.
  • To prepare quotes and proposals and deliver agreed work.
  • To improve this website and understand how visitors use it.
  • To send you information you have requested.

Cookies and analytics

This site uses Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful and how visitors find the site. Analytics and advertising cookies are only set after you choose Accept in the cookie banner. If you choose Decline, or make no choice, Google receives only cookieless, aggregated signals. You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the footer, or by clearing this site’s data in your browser.

Legal basis (visitors in the UK, EU and EEA)

  • Replying to your enquiry and preparing a quote — steps you ask for before entering into a contract.
  • Delivering agreed work and keeping records — performance of a contract and legal obligations such as accounting.
  • Analytics cookies — your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
  • Keeping the site secure and working — legitimate interests.

Third parties

I do not sell or rent your personal information. I may share it with trusted service providers who help run this site and my work — such as hosting, email, and analytics providers — only to the extent needed to provide those services. These providers may process data outside your country, including outside the UK and EEA. Where that happens, I rely on the providers’ standard safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.

Data retention

I keep enquiry and project information only as long as needed to respond to you, deliver work, and meet legal or accounting requirements, after which it is deleted or anonymised.

Your rights

You can ask me to access, correct, delete, or export the personal information I hold about you, to restrict or object to how it is used, and to withdraw consent at any time. To make a request, email contact@giasulhassan.com and I will reply within one month. If you are in the UK, EU or EEA and are not happy with my response, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Security

I take reasonable measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.

Children

This site is not directed to children, and I do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
