Privacy policy.

This policy explains what personal data humayunmir.com collects, why, and what you can do about it. We keep it short and plain. If anything is unclear, email me@humayunmir.com.

Who we are

This website is run by Humayun Mir, a content production studio based at Alkaram Plaza, Sohan Service Road East, Islamabad, Pakistan. For data protection purposes, Humayun Mir is the controller of the personal data described here.

What we collect and why

• Contact form and free content audit. Your name, email address and anything you choose to tell us about your show, channel or organisation. We use it only to reply to you and to prepare your audit or proposal. The legal basis is your request to us (steps before a contract) and our legitimate interest in answering enquiries.
• Emails and WhatsApp messages you send us. Used to reply and to provide our services.
• Booking a call. Calls are booked through zcal, which handles your booking details under its own privacy policy.
• Website analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand which pages are useful: pages viewed, approximate location (country or city), device and browser type, and how you arrived. We do not use it for advertising, and advertising features are switched off. Visitors in the UK and Europe are asked before analytics cookies are set; if you decline, Google Analytics only receives limited, cookieless signals.

We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for anything other than the purposes above.

Cookies and local storage

• Google Analytics cookies (names starting with _ga) measure visits. In the UK and Europe they are only set if you click "Allow".
• Your choices (for example your analytics choice and whether site sound is on or off) are saved in your browser's local storage so we don't ask again.

You can clear cookies and local storage in your browser at any time.

Who else processes data

• Google (Analytics, and Google Fonts for the site's typefaces)
• Our web host, which stores the site and sends form submissions to our inbox
• zcal, for call bookings; WhatsApp, if you message us there

Some of these providers process data outside your country, including in the United States. They use their own safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep it

Enquiries and audit requests are kept for up to two years so we can follow up on the conversation, unless you ask us to delete them sooner. Client project records are kept for as long as needed for the work and for accounting. Google Analytics data is kept for 14 months.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including under the UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, object to how we use it, or ask us to stop. Email me@humayunmir.com and we will reply within 30 days. You can also complain to your local data protection authority, such as the ICO in the UK.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page.
