Privacy Policy

The short version: this site has no cookies, no ads, no analytics company and no tracking pixels. It learns something about you only if you choose to send a message.

Who runs this site

asifshaikh.com is the personal links page of Asif Shaikh, who runs it on his own server. There is no company behind it collecting data, and nothing here is sold, rented or shared for marketing.

What is collected when you visit

• No cookies and no browser storage. The site does not set any, which is why you were not shown a cookie banner.
• Nothing loads from anyone else. Fonts, icons and scripts are all served from this site. No Google Fonts, no social-media widgets, no embedded trackers.
• A standard server log. Like almost every web server, this one records each request: your IP address, the time, the page or file requested, and the browser identification your device sends. It is used to keep the site running and to spot abuse.
• Click counts. When you tap a link, the page records which link was tapped as one more line in that same server log, so Asif Shaikh can see which links are useful. It is a count, not a profile: there is no visitor ID, and nothing connects one visit to another.

Server logs are rotated automatically, so old entries are deleted rather than kept indefinitely.

If you send a message

The “Email Me” form asks for your name, your email address and your message. When you press send:

• Those three things are emailed to Asif Shaikh, and your address is used only to reply to you. The email is delivered through Google’s Gmail service, so Google processes it as an email provider.
• The message is not stored on this website. The server notes only the time, your IP address and the size of the message, to limit spam.
• To stop automated abuse, the server briefly remembers how many messages an IP address has sent in the past hour. That count lives in memory only and is discarded.
• You are not added to any mailing list.

Links to other sites

Every button on this page leads somewhere else: a booking page, a shop, a social network, a payment app. Once you follow one, that site’s own privacy policy applies, not this one. The share buttons are plain links too; nothing is sent to a social network unless you click one.

Some links are referral links, which means Asif Shaikh may earn a commission if you buy something after following them. It does not change the price you pay.

How the site reaches you

Traffic to this site is carried over Cloudflare’s network, which protects it from attacks and, to do that, processes connection details such as your IP address on its way through.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices

If you have sent a message and would like it deleted, or want to know what was kept, ask through the Email Me form and it will be done. Depending on where you live you may also have legal rights to access, correct or delete your information; the same form is the way to exercise them.

Changes

If what this site does changes, this page will change with it, and the date below will be updated.
