Privacy policy

1. Controller and purpose

Eslam Elshikh operates this website to present professional services, receive enquiries, protect the service, and understand page performance after a visitor consents to analytics. Privacy questions can be sent to info@eslam-elshikh.com.

2. Information you provide

The website does not require an account. You may provide your name, company, email, phone number, public URL, and project details when you choose to contact me by phone, email, or WhatsApp. This information is used to respond, understand the need, and manage an agreed engagement. Do not send passwords, one-time codes, recovery codes, API keys, or sensitive customer data in an initial message.

3. WhatsApp brief builder

The contact-page brief builder runs in your browser and prepares a message that you can review inside WhatsApp before sending. It is not a server-submitted website form and does not send the entered fields to this website through GET or POST. If JavaScript is unavailable, the fields are not transmitted automatically and you can use the direct contact links.

4. Hosting and technical logs

Vercel may process technical information required to deliver and protect the website, including IP address, browser information, requested path, request time, and security logs. This processing supports service delivery, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and security.

5. Analytics, consent, and local storage

Google Analytics 4, property G-MDJ2HGF9E1, is loaded only after you choose to allow analytics. It may then use cookies or technical identifiers to measure pages, devices, and events in aggregate. Events can include clicks on phone, WhatsApp, and email links, as well as starting or completing the project-message builder. Names, free-text project details, and entered URLs are not sent as analytics parameters, and preparing a message does not prove that it was sent or became a commercial engagement.

Local storage may also remember the light or dark color theme and your consent choice. These are functional settings on your device and do not create a personal website account.

6. Third-party services and international processing

Depending on your choices, information may be processed by Vercel for hosting, Google Analytics after consent, Google Maps when the embedded map loads, and WhatsApp or your email provider when you initiate contact. These providers may process data outside Saudi Arabia under their own infrastructure, policies, and safeguards. Review the relevant provider policy before using its service.

7. Legal basis and use limits

Enquiry information is processed to respond to your request and take steps toward any later agreement. Optional analytics relies on consent. Visitor data is not sold, and project details are not used for unsolicited marketing.

8. Retention and security

Project correspondence is retained only as needed to respond, deliver, document an engagement, or meet an applicable legal requirement, then deleted or de-identified when there is no longer a legitimate need. Analytics retention follows the configured Google Analytics controls. Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, while no electronic method can promise absolute security.

9. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may ask how your personal data is used, request access or a readable copy, request correction or updating, and request deletion where the relevant conditions apply. You can withdraw analytics consent at any time. Send a request to info@eslam-elshikh.com with enough information to connect it to the relevant correspondence without adding unnecessary personal data.

10. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website tools or processing purposes change. The review date will be shown here, and renewed consent will be requested if an analytics change materially affects the optional processing.
