Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how elmehdifiou.com collects, uses and protects information when you visit this personal portfolio website. I take your privacy seriously and aim to keep things simple and transparent.

1. Information I Collect

This website is designed to work without collecting personal data directly. Specifically:

• I do not require an account, and I do not collect names, emails or payment details through this site.
• If you choose to contact me via the contact form (powered by Tally), the information you voluntarily enter is collected and processed by Tally on my behalf.
• Basic technical information (such as browser type, device and pages visited) may be recorded in server or analytics logs by the hosting provider.

2. How I Use Information

Any information you provide through the contact form is used solely to respond to your enquiry, discuss potential projects, or follow up on a conversation you initiated. I do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

3. Cookies & Analytics

This website does not use advertising or remarketing cookies. If analytics are enabled, they are used only in aggregate to understand traffic patterns and improve the site — never to identify individual visitors.

4. Third-Party Services

A few third-party services are used to deliver this website:

• Tally — handles the contact form; your submission is subject to Tally's own privacy policy.
• Google Fonts — serves the fonts used on this site; Google may collect standard connection data.
• Hosting & CDN providers — may log technical data such as IP address for security and delivery purposes.

Linked third-party sites (such as client websites and social profiles shown in the portfolio) have their own privacy policies, which I encourage you to review.

5. Data Retention

Messages sent through the contact form are retained only as long as needed to handle your enquiry and maintain a record of our correspondence, after which they are deleted or anonymised.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal data I hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, or to ask questions about how your data is handled, use the contact button in the navigation or footer and I will respond promptly.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children. I do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the revised policy.

9. Contact

For any privacy-related questions, reach out via the contact form on this site. These policies work together with my User Terms & Conditions.
