Privacy policy and disclosures
Short version: I collect as little as possible, I never sell your data, and affiliate links are always marked.
Who runs this site
zakriaashfaq.com is run by Zakria (@aiandzakria) from Islamabad, Pakistan. Contact: me@zakriaashfaq.com.
What I collect
- Contact form: your name, email and message, sent to my inbox so I can reply.
- Newsletter: your email address, used only to send the Golden Tip newsletter. Every email has an unsubscribe link, or just email me and I'll remove you.
- Your browser: the site stores small preferences on your device (dark mode, your chosen guide path, checklist ticks). They never leave your device.
- Server logs and analytics: my host and, if enabled, privacy-friendly analytics record standard technical data (pages visited, browser, approximate country) to keep the site running and improve it.
Third parties
Videos are embedded from YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode and only load when you press play. Fonts load from Google Fonts. Newsletter emails may be sent through an email service provider acting on my behalf. If advertising is added in future (for example Google AdSense), Google may use cookies to show ads, and you can manage this in Google Ad Settings.
Affiliate disclosure
Some links on this site are affiliate links, for example to Hostinger and Semrush. If you buy through them, I may earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and often you get a discount. Affiliate links are marked, and I only recommend tools I use or genuinely trust. My opinions are my own.
No guarantees
The guides, tips and videos are general education based on my own experience. They are not financial, legal or career guarantees. Results depend on your effort and situation.
Your rights
You can ask me what data I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email me@zakriaashfaq.com and I'll handle it within 30 days.
