Privacy Policy
This policy describes how adilumer.com (“we”, “us”) collects and uses personal data when you use the site. It applies to visitors and, where relevant, to people who contact us or use authenticated areas. For cookies and similar technologies, see also our Cookie Policy.
1. Who is responsible?
The site is operated by Adil Umer. For data-protection enquiries, use the contact form or the email address published there.
2. What data we collect
- Technical and usage data. When you browse the site, servers and infrastructure (for example your hosting provider or CDN) may process IP address, user agent, request timestamps, and similar technical data needed to deliver pages and ensure security.
- Contact form. If you send a message, we process the information you provide (such as name, email address, and message content) to read and respond. A spam-protection service (Cloudflare Turnstile) may process technical signals when the form is used.
- Administration. If you have an account for the admin area, we process account credentials and related audit data needed to operate that area.
- Preferences. Theme and cookie-notice choices may be stored locally in your browser (local storage), not on our servers, unless otherwise stated.
3. Purposes and legal bases (EEA / UK)
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following bases:
- Legitimate interests — operating, securing, and improving the site; analysing aggregate technical logs; and preventing abuse, balanced against your rights.
- Contract / pre-contract — responding to contact requests you initiate.
- Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information to comply with the law.
- Consent — where we rely on consent (for example where required for non-essential cookies), you may withdraw it at any time without affecting prior lawful processing.
4. Retention
We keep contact messages and admin logs only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Technical logs may be retained for a limited period according to hosting configuration.
5. Sharing and transfers
We use service providers (such as hosting, email, and security) who process data on our instructions. Some may be located outside your country; where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses).
6. Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to data portability. You may lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise rights, contact us via the contact page.
7. Children
The site is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children without appropriate consent.
8. Changes
We may update this policy; the “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy where permitted by law.
