• Respond to your enquiry personally within 24 hours

Your contact information is not added to any mailing list, newsletter, or automated email sequence without your explicit consent. There is no marketing email system in operation on this website.

Automatically collected analytics data is used to understand how visitors find and navigate the site, which helps improve the content and user experience. It is not used to build individual profiles or serve personalised advertising to site visitors.

4. Third-Party Services

This website uses the following third-party services. Each operates under its own privacy policy and may collect data independently.

Google Analytics 4

Used to understand site traffic and visitor behaviour in aggregate. Google Analytics may collect your IP address, device type, pages visited, and referral source. Data is processed by Google under their privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. IP anonymisation is enabled where applicable.

Google Tag Manager

Used to manage tracking tags on the site, including Google Analytics and Google Ads conversion tracking. Google Tag Manager itself does not collect personal data but facilitates the tools that do. More at policies.google.com/privacy.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

If you arrive at this website via a Google Ads advertisement, Google may record that visit as a conversion event. This uses a cookie set by Google. It helps measure whether ad campaigns are generating enquiries. Google’s privacy policy applies.

Meta Pixel

A Meta (Facebook) Pixel may be active on this site to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns run on Facebook and Instagram. The Pixel can collect information about your visit and match it to your Facebook or Instagram account if you are logged in. Meta’s data policy is available at facebook.com/privacy/policy.

WPForms

The contact form on this website is built using WPForms, a WordPress plugin. Form submissions are stored in the WordPress database hosted on this server. WPForms does not share your data with third parties independently of this site.

Calendly

The consultation booking tool on the appointments page is provided by Calendly. When you book a meeting, Calendly collects your name, email address, and any answers you provide to their booking questions. This data is stored by Calendly and governed by their privacy policy at calendly.com/privacy.

WordPress and Hosting

This site is built on WordPress and hosted on a third-party server. Standard server logs may record IP addresses, request times, and page requests. This information is used solely for security and server maintenance purposes.

5. Cookies and Tracking

This website uses cookies — small text files stored in your browser — for the following purposes:

Essential cookies

Set by WordPress to maintain basic site functionality. These do not collect personal information and cannot be disabled without affecting how the site operates.

Analytics cookies

Set by Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors use the site. These cookies do not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Advertising cookies

If a Meta Pixel or Google Ads tag is active, these tools may set cookies to measure conversions and support retargeting on Facebook, Instagram, or Google. You can manage ad preferences through:

• Facebook Ad Preferences
• Google Ad Settings

Managing cookies

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some features on this site. Instructions for managing cookies in common browsers are available at aboutcookies.org.

6. Data Sharing

Your personal information is not sold, rented, or traded to any third party.

Information you submit through the contact form is accessed only by Khizar Hayat personally for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. It is not shared with any marketing platforms, data brokers, or third-party services.

Analytics and advertising platforms (Google, Meta) may process anonymised or aggregated data about site visits as described in Section 4. This is not personal data shared with those companies — it is tracking data those platforms collect directly under their own policies when their tools are active on the site.

If required by law or a valid legal process, information may be disclosed to relevant authorities. This would only occur in response to a lawful request.

7. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained in the WordPress database for as long as necessary to manage the enquiry and any resulting client relationship. If you have not engaged in any active business relationship, submissions older than 12 months may be deleted on request.

Analytics data is retained according to the default retention settings of Google Analytics, which can be adjusted in the GA4 property settings.

To request deletion of your contact form data, email info@khizerhayat.com with the subject line “Data Deletion Request.”

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: You can request a copy of the personal information held about you.
• Correction: You can ask for inaccurate or incomplete information to be corrected.
• Deletion: You can ask for your personal data to be deleted, subject to any legal obligations to retain it.
• Objection: You can object to how your data is being used in certain circumstances.
• Portability: You can request your data in a portable, machine-readable format where technically feasible.

Texas residents may have additional rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), including the right to opt out of the sale of personal data. This site does not sell personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, contact info@khizerhayat.com. Requests will be acknowledged within a reasonable timeframe and responded to in accordance with applicable law.
