Privacy Policy

Smart Forum(“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect when you use https://smart-forum-portfolio-kk5c83l84-numankhanns-projects.vercel.app, why we collect it, how we look after it, and the rights you have over it.

Information we collect

We collect only what we need to respond to you and to run this website.

• Information you give us. When you complete our contact, application or newsletter forms we collect your name, email address, and any other details you choose to include, such as your phone number, company, budget range or project description.
• Information collected automatically. Our hosting provider records standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page and the pages you visit. This is used for security and aggregate analytics.
• Cookies. We use a small number of cookies and similar storage. See our Cookie Policy for the detail.

We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16, and we do not collect special-category data (such as health or biometric information) through this website.

How we use your information

• To respond to your enquiry and provide the information you asked for
• To assess job applications you submit to us
• To send our newsletter, where you have subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time)
• To operate, secure and improve this website
• To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Legal basis for processing

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on: your consent for marketing communications; legitimate interests for responding to business enquiries and securing our site; the necessity of pre-contractual steps when scoping a potential engagement; and legal obligation where we are required to retain records.

Sharing your information

We share personal data only with service providers who help us operate, such as our website host, email delivery provider and analytics tooling, and only to the extent they need it to perform that service. Each is bound by contractual confidentiality and data-protection obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

International transfers

We are based in Pakistan. Where personal data is transferred outside your country, we take steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection, including standard contractual clauses where applicable.

How long we keep it

• Enquiries: up to 24 months from our last contact with you
• Job applications: up to 12 months, unless you ask us to remove them sooner
• Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe
• Contractual and financial records: as required by applicable law

Security

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures, including encryption in transit, access controls on a least-privilege basis, and regular dependency patching. No system can be guaranteed completely secure, but we take this seriously and review our controls regularly.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete
• Ask us to delete your personal data
• Object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing
