Privacy Policy

 

Effective Date: [July 01, 2026] Last Updated: [July 05, 2026]

“zamanarif.com” is the personal website of Zaman Arif, founder of Digital Zeon, a web development and digital marketing agency serving home-service businesses in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Canada.

This policy explains what personal information is collected through this Site, why it’s collected, how it’s used, and what rights you have regarding it.

We keep this simple on purpose – no legal maze. If anything here is unclear, email [[email protected]] and we’ll explain it in plain words.

 

Who We Are

This Site is operated by Zaman Arif. Where this policy says “we,” “us,” or “our,” it means:

  • Zaman Arif, individually, for content, blog activity, and general use of this Site; and
  • Digital Zeon, the agency Zaman Arif founded and operates, for anything that becomes a paid engagement – quotes, contracts, invoices, and project delivery arising from this Site.

In short: you’re on Zaman’s personal site. If a conversation here turns into paid work, that work is delivered under Digital Zeon.

Data Controller: Zaman Arif (operating Digital Zeon) Based in: Bangladesh Contact: [[email protected]]

Operating from Bangladesh matters for how your data moves across borders – covered below.

 

What Information We Collect

We only collect what we need to run this Site and, where applicable, deliver Digital Zeon’s services.

 

Information You Give Us Directly

  • Contact details – name, email address, phone number, and company name when you fill out a contact form, book a call, or email us.
  • Project details – information about your business, website, and goals that you share so we can quote or deliver a Digital Zeon project.
  • Billing details – billing address and payment records for Digital Zeon engagements. We never see or store your full card number; payments are handled by our payment processors ([Stripe / PayPal / Wise]).

 

Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage data – pages visited, time on site, device and browser type, and approximate location based on IP address, collected through [Google Analytics 4 / a privacy-focused analytics tool].
  • Cookies – small text files stored in your browser. See “Cookies” below.

 

What We Don’t Collect

We don’t collect sensitive personal data like health records, government ID numbers, or precise location. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

 

Why We Collect Your Information

  • To respond when you reach out through a form or email.
  • To deliver Digital Zeon’s services – building your website, running your SEO campaign, or managing your marketing.
  • To send invoices and process payments for Digital Zeon engagements.
  • To improve this Site, analytics tell us which pages help visitors and which don’t.
  • To send occasional updates – only if you’ve opted in. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link.
  • To meet legal obligations, such as tax and accounting record-keeping.

 

Our Legal Basis (For UK and EU Visitors)

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, we need a legal reason to process your data:

  • Contract – when we process your data to deliver a Digital Zeon service you’ve engaged us for.
  • Consent – when you opt in to emails or accept optional cookies. Withdrawable anytime.
  • Legitimate interest – when we analyze Site traffic to improve content and services, in a way that doesn’t override your rights.
  • Legal obligation – when the law requires us to keep records.

 

Cookies

  • Essential cookies – required for the Site to function. Cannot be turned off.
  • Analytics cookies – help us see which pages perform well. Only run if you accept them via our cookie banner (shown to UK and EU visitors).

You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings anytime. The Site will still work, though some features may not.

 

Who We Share Your Information With

We never sell your personal information – not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone. We share it only with:

  • Service providers, we rely on to operate – hosting ([provider name]), email ([provider name]), payment processing ([Stripe / PayPal / Wise]), and analytics ([Google Analytics]). Each provider only gets the data it needs to do its job.
  • Legal authorities – if the law requires it, such as a valid court order.

That’s the complete list.

 

International Data Transfers

This Site and Digital Zeon operate from Bangladesh, and some of our service providers are based in the United States. This means your data may be transferred outside your home country.

When transferring data from the UK, EU, or Canada, we:

  • Use service providers that follow Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or an equivalent approved safeguard.
  • Limit the data transferred to only what’s needed.
  • Apply the same security standards regardless of where the data sits.

Email us for details on safeguards for a specific transfer.

 

How Long Do We Keep Your Information

  • Inquiry emails and form submissions – up to 2 years after our last contact.
  • Digital Zeon client project records – for the length of the engagement, plus up to 7 years for tax and accounting requirements.
  • Analytics data – up to 14 months, then automatically deleted.

When we no longer need your data, we delete it securely.

 

How We Protect Your Information

SSL encryption across the Site, strong passwords with two-factor authentication on our accounts, and access limits so only those who need your data can see it. No system is 100% secure, but we take reasonable, industry-standard steps to protect what you share. If a breach ever affects your personal information, we’ll notify you and the proper authorities as required by law.

 

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, your rights include:

  • Access – request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction – ask us to fix inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion – ask us to erase your data (“right to be forgotten”).
  • Restriction – ask us to pause processing your data.
  • Portability – request your data in a portable format.
  • Objection – object to processing based on legitimate interest, including direct marketing.
  • Withdraw consent – anytime, for anything previously agreed to.

 

Email [[email protected]] to exercise any of these rights. We’ll respond within 30 days, free of charge.

 

Extra Notes by Region

United Kingdom & European Union: If you’re unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to your local supervisory authority – the ICO in the UK, or your national data protection authority in the EU.
