Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, disclosed, and otherwise processed when you visit this website or interact with services linked from it. It is written to reflect the website's current setup and to provide clear, compliance-oriented transparency for an India-based website operator.

1. Controller Information

This website is operated by Asim Mulla in India as a personal portfolio and blog website.

For privacy-related questions or requests, please use the current LinkedIn contact route provided on the About page.

2. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to the website pages, blog content, and related assets made available through this site. It does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, or services that are linked from this website and operate under their own privacy terms.

3. Categories of Personal Data

Depending on how you use the website, the following categories of information may be processed:

Technical and usage data: IP address, browser type, device information, referral information, requested pages, timestamps, and similar log data.
Communication data: information you choose to provide when contacting through the LinkedIn route linked from the About page or through another external service you choose to use.
Third-party interaction data: limited technical data processed by third-party tools used to deliver fonts, sharing features, or external redirects.

4. Sources of Personal Data

Personal data may be obtained:

directly from your browser or device when you access the website
from hosting or infrastructure logs generated when pages and assets are served
from third-party platforms when you choose to interact with an external contact or sharing service

5. Purposes of Processing

Personal data may be processed for the following purposes:

to make the website and its content available
to maintain website security, stability, and performance
to troubleshoot technical issues and monitor misuse
to enable third-party functionality requested by the user, such as social sharing or external contact actions
to review and respond to direct outreach made through external communication channels

6. Legal Bases

Where applicable, processing is carried out on one or more of the following bases:

Consent or user action: where you choose to interact with third-party services, such as clicking through to the LinkedIn contact route or using third-party sharing tools.
Certain legitimate uses or operational necessity: operating, securing, maintaining, and improving the website and responding to business or professional enquiries, to the extent permitted under applicable law.
Legal obligations: where retention or disclosure is required to comply with applicable law, regulation, or lawful request.

Where Indian law applies, this section is intended to align in substance with the notice-oriented approach reflected in the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, while remaining accurate to the website's present technical implementation.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website does not currently operate a user account system or an internal application that requires visitor login cookies. However, cookies or similar technologies may still be used by hosting providers, content delivery infrastructure, or third-party services embedded in or linked from the website.

Examples include:

font delivery services
social sharing tools
security, fraud prevention, or infrastructure-level logging

8. Third-Party Recipients and Services

Personal data or technical data may be processed by third-party providers to the extent necessary to deliver website functionality or user-requested features. Current third-party services may include:

Google Fonts for font delivery
ShareThis for social sharing controls on blog posts
LinkedIn as the current contact route linked from the About page
hosting or server providers used to serve the site and maintain logs

9. International Transfers

Because this website uses third-party services and internet infrastructure that may operate in more than one country, personal data may be processed or transferred internationally. Where such transfers occur, they are subject to the practices and safeguards of the relevant service providers.

10. Data Retention

Personal data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including website delivery, security monitoring, troubleshooting, and communication follow-up, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods may vary depending on the hosting environment, third-party services used, and the nature of any direct communication.

11. Data Sharing and Sale

Personal information is not sold through this website. Personal information may be disclosed to hosting providers, infrastructure vendors, and third-party service providers where required to operate the website or respond to lawful obligations.

12. Your Rights

Depending on your location and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights such as:

the right to know what personal data is processed about you
the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data
the right to request deletion of personal data, subject to applicable exceptions
the right to grievance redressal in relation to personal data handling, where applicable
the right to nominate another person to exercise rights on your behalf, where applicable under Indian law
the right to object to or restrict certain processing
the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
the right to request access to personal data or a copy of it
the right not to be discriminated against for exercising applicable privacy rights

To make a privacy-related request, please use the LinkedIn contact route provided on the About page. Verification may be required before a request can be completed.

13. India Privacy Notice

Where applicable under Indian law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, this notice is intended to describe the categories of personal data processed, the purposes of processing, the means of contact, and the rights available to the individual whose personal data is processed.

Because this website is primarily a static informational website and currently uses the LinkedIn link on the About page rather than an internal form system, the amount of personal data intentionally collected directly through the site is limited.

14. California Privacy Notice

If you are a California resident and the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to the processing in question, you may have rights that include the right to know, delete, correct, and opt out of certain sale or sharing activities, as well as the right to non-discrimination.

Based on the current site setup, this website does not describe itself as selling personal information through the site. If the website's practices change, this notice should be updated accordingly.

15. Security

Reasonable measures may be used to help protect personal data and website integrity. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

16. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed to children, and personal information is not knowingly collected from children through the website itself.

17. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, business practices, website features, or third-party services. The current version will be posted on this page together with the updated revision date.

18. Complaints

If you believe your personal data has been handled in a way that does not comply with applicable law, you may have the right to raise a complaint with the relevant supervisory or regulatory authority in your jurisdiction.

Where Indian law applies, this may include the grievance redressal and regulatory mechanisms available under applicable Indian data protection law, including the framework associated with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, to the extent in force and applicable.
