Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 18, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how RaFi IslaM (“I”, “me”, or “my”), based in Bangladesh, collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit rafiislam.com, submit an enquiry, book a consultation, or work with me.

1. Who is responsible for your information

RaFi IslaM is the controller of personal information collected through this website. For privacy questions or requests, email hello@rafiislam.com.

2. Information I collect

Information you provide: name, email address, phone or WhatsApp number, website URL, requested service, budget range, timeline, project details, and other information you include in a message.
Client and transaction information: proposals, contracts, invoices, payment status, project files, and communications when you become a client. Payment providers may process payment-card or financial details directly; I do not intentionally store complete card details.
Technical and usage information: IP address, browser and device information, pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location, timestamps, cookies, and security or diagnostic logs.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your project and we have agreed on a secure way to share it.

3. How I use information

Respond to enquiries and assess project fit.
Prepare proposals, schedule consultations, enter into contracts, and deliver services.
Operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website and services.
Keep business, tax, accounting, and legal records.
Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
Send service-related communications and, where permitted or consented to, relevant updates.

4. Legal bases

Depending on your location and the context, processing may be based on your consent, steps requested before entering a contract, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests such as responding to business enquiries, securing the website, and improving services. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing already completed.

5. Cookies and analytics

The site may use essential cookies for security and functionality, plus limited analytics or performance technologies to understand traffic and improve the experience. You can control cookies through your browser and, where a consent tool is presented, through that tool. Blocking some cookies may affect site functionality.

6. How information may be shared

I may share only the information reasonably necessary with service providers that support hosting, WordPress and website operations, email and contact forms, scheduling, analytics, anti-spam and security, cloud storage, payments, accounting, and professional advice. Providers may process information under their own terms and privacy practices. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a lawful business transfer.

I do not intentionally sell personal information or use enquiry details for cross-context behavioural advertising.

7. International transfers

I am based in Bangladesh and may use service providers operating in other countries. This means information can be processed outside your country. Where applicable law requires it, reasonable contractual or other safeguards will be used for international transfers.

8. Retention

Enquiry information is generally kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact unless a longer period is needed for an active opportunity, dispute, or legal obligation. Client, invoice, contract, and tax records may be retained for up to seven years or longer if required by applicable law. Security logs and cookies are retained according to operational need and provider settings. Information is deleted or anonymised when it is no longer reasonably required.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or a copy of your personal information; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; or lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. California residents may also have rights to know, correct, or delete information and to opt out of certain sale or sharing. I do not discriminate against people for exercising privacy rights.

Send requests to hello@rafiislam.com. I may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may be retained where legally permitted or required.

10. Security

I use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so please avoid sending confidential credentials or sensitive data through the general contact form.

11. Children

This website and its professional services are not directed to children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child submitted information, contact me so it can be reviewed and removed.

12. Third-party links

The site links to third-party platforms, including course, social, scheduling, and portfolio services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.

13. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website, services, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be revised for material updates.
