Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Anas Lakhani ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit anaslakhani.com, interact with our portfolio, or submit project inquiries through our website.

2. Information We Collect

• Project Inquiries: When you submit a contact or consultation form, we collect your name, email address, company name, phone number (if provided), and project description.
• Analytics & Technical Data: We collect non-personally identifiable metrics including pages visited, session duration, referral sources, approximate geographic region (country and city), and device/browser type to optimize performance.
• Security & Rate Limiting: We temporarily log IP addresses to prevent automated abuse, spam attacks, and unauthorized script executions.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data solely for legitimate business purposes:

• To evaluate project scopes, prepare technical architecture proposals, and communicate with prospective clients.
• To detect and filter automated bot submissions, spam, and unsolicited vendor sales pitches.
• To analyze website traffic trends and improve platform performance and user experience.

4. Artificial Intelligence & Lead Screening

To maintain response speed for legitimate clients, incoming inquiries may be evaluated against anti-spam heuristics and Google Gemini AI classifiers. Under this system, project descriptions are analyzed purely for context relevance and authenticity. We never sell, rent, or trade inquiry information to third-party data brokers.

5. Data Protection & Retention

Your data is stored securely in encrypted cloud databases (MongoDB) with strict administrative access controls. We retain inquiry records only as long as necessary to complete commercial consultations, fulfill contracts, or comply with legal obligations.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request corrections, or request deletion of your records. To exercise these rights, please email us directly.
