3. How I use it and why
| Purpose | Examples | Legal basis (GDPR / UK GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Respond to you and provide services | Replying to enquiries, scoping projects, sending quotes, delivering work, invoicing | Steps at your request before a contract; performance of a contract |
| Run and secure the website | Spam filtering, firewall, backups, fixing errors | Legitimate interests (keeping the site safe and working) |
| Understand and improve the site | Which articles are read, which pages are slow | Consent where required; otherwise legitimate interests |
| Show advertising | Ads served by Google AdSense on blog posts | Consent (EEA, UK and Switzerland); legitimate interests elsewhere |
| Legal and accounting obligations | Tax records, responding to lawful requests | Legal obligation |
I do not sell your personal information, and I do not use it for automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device. This site uses:
| Type | What it does | Provider |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Keeps the site secure and working (for example login, security and shop/cart sessions) | WordPress, WooCommerce, security plugins |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows which content is useful (for example _ga cookies) |
Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager |
| Advertising | Serves and measures ads, limits repeats, and (with consent) personalises ads | Google AdSense and Google advertising partners |
Where the law requires consent (for example for visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), a Google-certified consent message appears and your choice is respected. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site’s cookies, which shows the message again, or by using your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect parts of the site.
5. Advertising (Google AdSense)
This website uses Google AdSense to display ads, mainly on blog articles. Please note:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info (United States), youronlinechoices.com (Europe) or optout.networkadvertising.org.
- To learn how Google uses data from sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
- US state privacy laws: where applicable, you can limit the use of your data for targeted advertising through the privacy options message shown on the site or through Google Ads Settings.
I do not control the ads that Google selects, and I never ask or encourage visitors to click on ads.
6. Analytics
I use Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager, connected through the Google Site Kit plugin, to understand traffic and improve content. Google Analytics 4 does not store full IP addresses. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
7. Who I share data with
I share personal information only with service providers who help me run the website and my business, under their own privacy terms and only as needed:
- Hosting and infrastructure: my virtual private server and backup storage providers (servers in the European Union; backups are encrypted).
- Email and productivity: Zoho Mail and Google services used to send and receive your messages.
- Google: Analytics, Tag Manager, AdSense and Site Kit.
- Spam and security: Akismet (Automattic) checks comment data for spam; security plugins process IP addresses to block attacks.
- Messaging platforms: if you contact me via WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram or LinkedIn, those platforms process your messages under their own policies. Some of my public demo pages and chat channels use AI models (such as Google Gemini or OpenAI) to help draft replies; please do not share confidential information in demo chats.
- Payments (if you buy something): payment processors such as PayPal.
- Advisers and authorities: accountants, lawyers or public authorities where the law requires or to protect legal rights.
I do not sell your personal information to anyone.
8. International transfers
I am based in Bangladesh, the site is hosted in the European Union, and some providers (including Google) process data in other countries, including the United States. Where personal data from the EEA, UK or Switzerland is transferred, I rely on the safeguards used by my providers, such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.
9. How long I keep data
- Enquiries and project communication: for as long as needed to respond and deliver the work, and generally no longer than 24 months after our last contact unless a contract or the law requires longer.
- Comments: until you ask me to remove them or the article is removed.
- Invoices and accounting records: as long as tax and accounting laws require.
- Analytics and advertising data: according to the retention settings in those tools (Google Analytics is set to its standard retention period).
- Security logs and backups: rotated regularly; older backups are deleted on a schedule.
10. Security
I protect the site with HTTPS, a firewall and malware protection, access controls, regular updates, monitoring and encrypted backups. No online service can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, but I work to reduce risk and will notify affected people and regulators where the law requires if a breach occurs.
11. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- ask for a copy of your personal data and for information about how it is used;
- ask me to correct inaccurate data or delete data I no longer need;
- restrict or object to certain processing, including processing based on legitimate interests;
- receive your data in a portable format;
- withdraw consent at any time (this does not affect earlier processing);
- lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority (for example the UK ICO or an EU supervisory authority);
- US residents (for example California, Virginia and other states with privacy laws): know what is collected, correct or delete it, and opt out of targeted advertising or the sale or sharing of personal information. I do not sell personal information, and I will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
To use any of these rights, email info@saizul.com. I may need to verify your identity first and will reply within a reasonable time (normally within 30 days).
12. Children
This website is intended for a general and business audience and is not directed to children under 16. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, please contact me and I will delete it.
13. Links to other sites
Articles and pages may link to third-party websites, tools and services. I am not responsible for their content or privacy practices, so please read their policies.
14. Changes to this policy
I may update this policy when my practices, tools or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top shows the latest revision. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
