Legal bases for processing

Depending on your location and the reason for processing, information may be handled on one or more of the following bases:

• Your request: taking steps to respond to a project enquiry before entering into a contract.
• Consent: where you voluntarily submit information or accept optional cookies.

Cookies and analytics

Essential cookies

WordPress, the hosting environment or security tools may use essential cookies or similar storage to support website operation, administration, security and technical functionality.

Google Analytics

If Google Analytics is enabled, it may use cookies such as _ga and process information including user and session statistics, approximate geolocation, browser and device details, page views and interaction events.

Analytics information is used in aggregate to understand how the website performs. DevArif should not intentionally send contact-form names, email addresses, phone numbers or message content to Google Analytics.

Where required by applicable law, optional analytics cookies should be activated only after the visitor has made a consent choice. You can also manage or remove cookies through your browser settings.

Google’s handling of information is governed by its own privacy terms and product settings.

When information may be shared

Personal information is not shared unless reasonably necessary. It may be processed by:

• Website hosting, domain and infrastructure providers
• Email providers used to receive and answer enquiries
• Analytics, security, backup or anti-spam services, if enabled
• Professional advisers where necessary
• Authorities or other parties where disclosure is legally required
• A successor or purchaser if the website or business is transferred, subject to appropriate safeguards

Service providers may process information only for the services they provide and under their own terms, security practices and legal responsibilities.

How long information is kept

Contact enquiries are generally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful communication, unless:

• The enquiry becomes an active or completed client project
• A longer period is needed for legal, tax or contractual records
• You ask for deletion and no overriding reason requires retention
• Security records need to be kept for investigation or prevention

Technical logs and analytics information may have different retention periods controlled by the hosting provider, security service or analytics settings.

International processing

DevArif is based in Bangladesh, while hosting, email, analytics, cloud or security providers may operate servers in other countries. Your information may therefore be processed outside your country.

Where applicable, reasonable contractual, technical or organisational safeguards should be used for international processing.

Data security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information from unauthorised access, alteration, loss or misuse. These may include encrypted website connections, account controls, software updates, backups and restricted access.

No website, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please avoid submitting passwords, financial account details, national identification documents or other highly sensitive information through the general project enquiry form.

Your privacy rights

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may have the right to:

• Ask whether personal information about you is being processed
• Request access to a copy of that information
• Correct incomplete or inaccurate information
• Request deletion where there is no valid reason to keep it
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Request portable information where legally applicable
• Complain to an appropriate privacy or data-protection authority

To make a request, email bloggerrifkhan@gmail.com. Reasonable identity verification may be required before information is disclosed, corrected or deleted.

Children’s privacy

This website and its project-enquiry services are intended for business and professional audiences. DevArif does not knowingly request personal information from children under 16.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information, please contact DevArif so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.

External links and social profiles

The website contains links to services such as LinkedIn, Dribbble, Facebook, WhatsApp and other third-party websites. Those services operate independently and have their own privacy policies, cookies and data practices.

DevArif is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party services. Review their policies before providing personal information.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website, contact process, analytics tools, service providers or legal requirements change.

The latest version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be highlighted on the website where appropriate.
