Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters

This page explains what data I collect, why I collect it, and how you can control it.

Effective date: 08 Oct 2025 • Site owner: Design by Maryam

Who we are

Design by Maryam is a solo design and web studio offering branding, web, social and digital services.

Primary contact: designbymaryam0@gmail.com • WhatsApp: +92‑329‑6366495

What data we collect

  • Contact forms: name, email, phone, service interest, message. Optional company details.
  • Service requests: details you provide about your project (scope, timeline, links, preferences).
  • Client feedback: rating, written feedback, permission to publish, and optional name/brand.
  • Usage and device: basic logs (page URL, referrer, user‑agent) for security and debugging.
  • Analytics (optional): if enabled, Firebase Analytics collects aggregated usage events (no precise location or sensitive categories).

Sensitive data is not required. Please avoid sending passwords, payment card numbers or confidential business secrets via open forms.

How we use your data

  • Respond to inquiries and provide proposals.
  • Deliver and improve services you request.
  • Showcase anonymized results or published testimonials when you consent.
  • Maintain security, prevent spam and fix issues.
  • Comply with legal obligations and agreements.

Cookies & analytics

This site uses minimal cookies. If Firebase Analytics is enabled, it uses cookies or similar storage to measure anonymous usage. You can block analytics with your browser or opt‑out tools. Core form submission does not require third‑party cookies.

Sharing

  • Processors: Google Firebase (hosting, Firestore database, optional analytics). Data may be processed in the US/EU per Google’s terms and Data Processing Addendum.
  • Legal: if required by law or to protect rights, safety and security.
  • No sale of personal data: I do not sell your personal information.

How long we keep data

  • Contact/service messages: typically 24 months after last activity.
  • Client feedback/testimonials: until you ask us to remove or we retire the content.
  • System logs: short periods for security/troubleshooting.

You can request deletion at any time (see “Contact” below).

Your rights

  • Access, correction, deletion of your personal data.
  • Withdraw consent (e.g., remove a published testimonial).
  • Object or restrict certain processing where applicable.
  • Data portability (on request, where feasible).

If you are in the EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA), you may have additional rights. I will honor valid requests according to applicable law.

International transfers

Your data may be stored or processed outside your country (e.g., on Firebase infrastructure). I rely on standard contractual safeguards provided by providers like Google.

Children’s privacy

My services and site are not directed to children under 13. I do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child provided data, please contact me to remove it.

Changes to this policy

I may update this policy to reflect services, legal or technical changes. I’ll update the “Effective date” at the top. Significant changes may be communicated on this page.
