When you contact Dev By Ghani, the details you provide are used to understand and respond to your enquiry. Technical and usage information may also be processed to keep the website secure, measure performance and understand advertising. Personal information is not sold.
Who is responsible for your information?
Usman Ghani, trading as Dev By Ghani, is the controller responsible for personal information processed through this website and in connection with enquiries and client services.
Information that may be collected
The information collected depends on how you use the website and whether you become a client.
Enquiry information
Name, business name, email address, telephone or WhatsApp number, budget, timeframe, project requirements and anything else you include in a message.
Client and project information
Correspondence, quotations, contracts, invoices, payment records, supplied content, account details and technical information required to deliver and support agreed services.
Technical information
IP address, browser and device information, approximate location, requested pages, timestamps, referring pages, error information and security logs.
Usage and advertising information
Page views, interaction and conversion events, campaign information and identifiers created by analytics, advertising or measurement technologies.
Do not send passwords, payment-card details, special-category information or confidential material through the general enquiry form unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure method.
Why information is used and the lawful basis
Your right to object: where processing relies on legitimate interests, you may object based on your particular situation. The request will be considered unless compelling legitimate grounds or legal-claims requirements apply.
How long information is kept
Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, security and dispute requirements. Typical periods are:
- Enquiries
Normally up to 24 months after the last meaningful contact, unless the conversation becomes a client relationship or longer retention is needed for a legal reason.
- Client and financial records
For the service relationship and generally up to six years afterward where needed for tax, accounting, contractual or legal-claims purposes.
- Security and server logs
Usually retained for a shorter operational period determined by the hosting and security configuration, unless needed to investigate an incident.
- Analytics and advertising data
According to configured retention settings, consent choices and the relevant provider’s policies. Aggregated reports may no longer identify an individual.
Information may be deleted earlier where it is no longer required, or retained longer when necessary to comply with law, resolve a dispute or protect legal rights.
How information is protected
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information. These may include HTTPS encryption, access controls, account security, software maintenance, backups, spam and abuse protection, and limiting access to those who need the information.
No internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. If a personal-data breach creates a risk requiring notification, affected individuals and the relevant regulator will be informed as required by law.
International transfers
Some technology providers may process or make information accessible outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data-protection rules treat this as a restricted transfer, an appropriate transfer mechanism should be used, such as UK adequacy regulations, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement, the UK Addendum to approved contractual clauses, or another legally permitted safeguard.
Provider arrangements and processing locations may change. You may contact Dev By Ghani for further information about safeguards relevant to your personal information.
Your data-protection rights
Depending on the circumstances and lawful basis, you may have the right to:
You also have rights relating to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. Dev By Ghani does not currently use website enquiry information to make those decisions.
Rights are not absolute and exemptions may apply. To make a request, email admin@devbyghani.co.uk. Reasonable information may be requested to confirm identity. There is normally no fee, although the law permits one or allows refusal in limited circumstances.

This website and its services are intended for business users and are not directed at children. Personal information should not knowingly be submitted by anyone under 13 without appropriate parental or guardian involvement.
The website links to external websites and services. Dev By Ghani does not control their content, security or privacy practices, so review their notices before providing information.
Changes to this policy
This notice may be updated when services, providers, legal requirements or data practices change. The latest version will appear on this page with a revised date. Material changes may also be highlighted elsewhere on the website where appropriate.
