Privacy Policy
How this website collects, uses, and protects your information, and the rights you have over your data.
Last updated:
This website (nomanshah.com) is operated by Noman Shah. This policy explains what personal data the site processes, why, and how it is handled. It applies only to this website. Links to external sites (including xerotech.io, callgpt.co.uk, aiu.ac, and third-party profiles) are governed by those sites’ own privacy policies.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, the data controller for this website is Noman Shah, contactable at the address in the Contact section below.
Information we collect
The site is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. Depending on how you use it, the following may be processed:
- Contact details you provide. If you send a message through a contact form or by email, we receive your name, email address, and whatever you choose to include in your message.
- Usage and analytics data. Standard analytics (via Google) collect anonymised or pseudonymised information such as pages visited, approximate location, device and browser type, and referring source. This is used to understand how the site is used, not to identify you personally.
- Technical logs. The hosting server automatically records standard request data (such as IP address and timestamp) for security and reliability.
The site does not sell products, run user accounts, or knowingly collect data from children.
How we use your information
Personal data processed through this site is used only to:
- respond to enquiries and messages you send;
- maintain the security, performance, and reliability of the website;
- understand aggregate site usage so the content can be improved.
We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling, and we do not sell or rent it to anyone.
Legal basis for processing
Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent for optional analytics and cookies, which you can accept or decline.
- Legitimate interests for responding to your enquiries and keeping the site secure, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
Cookies and analytics
This site uses cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality and, where you consent, for analytics. Analytics are provided by Google, which processes data in line with its own privacy policy. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may affect how the site works.
Third parties and data sharing
We share personal data only with service providers who help operate the site, and only as needed. These may include:
- Hosting provider — stores the website and its server logs.
- Analytics provider (Google) — processes site-usage data.
- Email and form services — deliver and store messages you send.
We do not sell your data. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the security and rights of the site and its users.
Data retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected. Enquiry messages are kept while relevant to our correspondence and then deleted. Analytics data is retained according to the analytics provider’s standard periods. Server logs are held for a limited time for security purposes.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you;
- ask us to correct inaccurate data;
- ask us to delete your data, where applicable;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
Data security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page, with the revision date shown at the top. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
