Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This is the personal portfolio website of Dr. Basharat Hussain. It is an informational site — it does not sell products, host user accounts, or run advertising. This policy explains what limited data the site handles and your rights over it.

2. Information We Collect

• Information you choose to send. If you contact us by email, we receive whatever you include in that message (e.g. your name, email address, and message).
• Essential cookies. A single cookie remembers your cookie-consent choice. See our Cookie Policy.
• Standard server logs. Like most websites, the hosting server may record basic technical data (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and reliability. This is not used to identify individuals.

We do not run third-party advertising or sell any personal data.

3. How We Use Information

Any information you send is used solely to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, to discuss professional engagements. Technical logs are used only to keep the site secure and available.

4. Legal Basis (GDPR)

Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process contact data on the basis of your consent and our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries, and essential cookies as strictly necessary for the site to function.

5. Data Retention

Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed for the conversation and any resulting professional relationship, then deleted on request. Server logs are retained for a short period for security purposes.

6. Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data you have sent us, and you may withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, email basharat@live.com.

7. Third-Party Links

This site links to external profiles and project demos (e.g. GitHub, LinkedIn, live deployments). Those sites have their own privacy policies; we are not responsible for their practices.

8. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be posted on this page with a revised date.
