This policy covers personal data processed through: (a) browsing this portfolio website; (b) contacting me via WhatsApp, email, or LinkedIn links displayed on the site; (c) preliminary discussions regarding consultations, quotes, or project engagements initiated through the site.

It does not replace a separate data processing agreement that may be signed when you become a client for a custom software, hosting, DevOps, or consulting project.

Information you provide voluntarily: When you contact me via WhatsApp or email, you may share your name, phone number, email address, company name, project details, files, and any other information you choose to send.

Technical information: Like most websites, the hosting infrastructure may automatically collect technical data such as IP address, browser type, device information, referring URLs, and access timestamps in server logs.

Cookies and similar technologies: This site may use essential cookies required for basic functionality. If analytics tools are enabled in the future, additional cookies may be used to understand traffic patterns — you will be informed via an updated policy.

I do not operate user accounts, payment forms, or newsletter subscriptions on this portfolio website.

To respond to your inquiries, consultation requests, and quote requests submitted via WhatsApp, email, or LinkedIn.

To evaluate project requirements, prepare proposals, and deliver the professional services you request.

To maintain security, prevent abuse, and ensure the reliable operation of the website and related systems.

To comply with applicable legal obligations, including record-keeping where required.

To showcase completed work in my portfolio only with your explicit text consent — either via WhatsApp conversation or as stated in the terms of our project contract.

I do not sell your personal data to third parties.

Where applicable under GDPR or similar laws, processing is based on: (a) your consent when you initiate contact; (b) pre-contractual steps at your request (e.g., preparing a quote); (c) legitimate interests in operating a professional portfolio and responding to business inquiries; (d) legal obligations.

When you click WhatsApp links, you are redirected to WhatsApp (Meta Platforms). Their privacy practices are governed by Meta’s policies, not this website.

LinkedIn links direct you to LinkedIn’s platform under their own terms and privacy policy.

Email communications may pass through your and my email service providers.

If your project involves hosting, cloud infrastructure, analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), CI/CD platforms, or AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI), client data may be processed on those platforms as part of the agreed service — this will be disclosed in your project proposal or contract.

Inquiry messages and correspondence are retained only as long as necessary to respond, evaluate opportunities, deliver services, or meet legal and accounting requirements — typically up to 3 years for business correspondence unless a longer period is required by law or an active contract.

Server logs are retained for a limited period consistent with security and hosting provider defaults.

I apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including secure communication channels, access controls, and industry-standard practices for development and hosting environments.

No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While I strive to protect your information, I cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability where applicable.

You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

To exercise your rights, contact me at contact@ahmedtate.tech. You may also lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority in your country.

As an independent developer serving clients internationally, your data may be processed in Turkey or in countries where my hosting, communication, or project tools are located. Appropriate safeguards will be applied where required by applicable law.

This website and my professional services are directed at businesses and adults. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact me so it can be removed.

I may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in my services, legal requirements, or website functionality. The “Last updated” date at the top will be revised accordingly. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acknowledgment of the updated policy.
