Privacy Notice

Last updated: September 28, 2026

1. Who this is from

This Privacy Notice describes how Nouman Sadiq ("we", "us"), operating as noumansadiq.com, handles personal data collected through this site, pay.noumansadiq.com, and any system we deliver or host on behalf of a client.

Contact for privacy questions or data subject requests: info@noumansadiq.com.

2. What personal data we collect

We collect the minimum data required to operate the service. Specifically:

  • Contact details you provide. Name, email address, phone number, and any message content you send us via email, WhatsApp, or web form.
  • Site assistant conversations. The assistant in the corner of each page answers from published material on this site and sends nothing anywhere on its own. What you type stays in your own browser for that visit only. It leaves your browser only if you choose to hand the conversation to a person, in which case the transcript and the email address you give are sent to info@noumansadiq.com so a reply can be written. Nothing you type there is used for advertising or profiling.
  • Subscription list. If you subscribe to the posts from a form on this site, we store the email address you enter, the short role description if you choose to type one (that field is optional and can be left blank), and the page the form was submitted from. The address is used for one thing only: sending the posts. It is not shared, not sold, and not used for advertising or profiling. Every email carries an unsubscribe link that takes one click, and you can have the record deleted at any time by emailing info@noumansadiq.com.
  • Deposit and payment data. When you pay a deposit or invoice, you pay through a payment request issued via Payoneer. Payoneer collects your name, billing details, email, and payment card or bank details directly from you. We do not see or store payment card numbers. We receive a summary of paid transactions (payer name, email, transaction id, amount, currency).
  • Website analytics. We may use privacy-first analytics (such as Plausible Analytics, self-hosted on our infrastructure) that record page views, referring sites, country, and browser type. This data does not identify individuals and does not use cookies.
  • Advertising measurement on the GC pages. On noumansadiq.com/gc/ and noumansadiq.com/gc/demo/ only, we use the Meta Pixel to measure our Facebook and Instagram ads. It sets a first-party cookie (_fbp) and tells Meta that a visitor viewed the page, started or finished the test, saw the example screens, or pressed the email button. It never sends your answers, your company name, your trade or anything you choose in the demo, and automatic event collection is switched off. Meta processes this data under its own Data Policy; you can control ad personalisation in your Facebook or Instagram ad settings.
  • System build data (client projects). During a project, we handle whatever business data the client provides to build and test the system. Ownership of that data remains with the client at all times.

3. Why we collect it

We use the personal data described above only for the following purposes:

  • To respond to enquiries and quote requests.
  • To send the posts to people who asked for them.
  • To take deposits, schedule work, and issue invoices for agreed projects.
  • To deliver, host, and maintain systems for clients.
  • To operate internal alerts (WhatsApp and Discord notifications when a deposit is paid or a support event needs attention).
  • To meet legal, tax, or regulatory obligations.

We do not sell personal data, and we do not use it for advertising, profiling, or unsolicited outreach.

4. Third parties who process data on our behalf

  • Payoneer Inc. — payment provider for deposits and invoices. See Payoneer's Privacy Policy.
  • Meta Platforms, Inc. — measures our Facebook and Instagram ads through the Meta Pixel on noumansadiq.com/gc/ and /gc/demo/ only (page views and test steps, never answers). See Meta's Privacy Policy.
  • Hostinger, Coolify infrastructure providers. Web and application hosting.
  • CallMeBot / WhatsApp. Internal deposit-paid alerts routed to our own phone number only.
  • Discord (webhook). Internal deposit-paid alerts routed to our own private server only.
  • Google Search Console. Aggregate, non-personal search query data for this site.

Each processor is bound by their own terms and, where applicable, data processing agreements. Client business data handled during a build stays under our direct control and is never routed through a third-party processor for analytics or marketing purposes.

5. How long we keep data

Contact and quote data: retained while a business relationship is active and for up to 3 years after the last contact, then deleted or anonymised. Financial and transaction records: retained for the period required by applicable tax law (typically 6 years). Client project data on hosted systems: retained for the duration of the hosting subscription; after termination, we export a copy for the client and delete our hosted copy within 30 days unless a longer retention is requested in writing.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights with respect to your personal data:

  • Access — a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Deletion, subject to any legal obligation to retain records.
  • Portability of data you provided directly to us.
  • Objection to specific processing activities.
  • The right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email info@noumansadiq.com. We respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies

noumansadiq.com and pay.noumansadiq.com do not use tracking cookies of our own, with one exception: the GC test page and its demo (noumansadiq.com/gc/ and /gc/demo/) set the Meta Pixel's _fbp cookie to measure our ads, as described in section 2. Payoneer's payment pages may set their own operational cookies necessary to process a payment; see Payoneer's Privacy Policy for details.

8. International data transfers

When you contact us or pay a deposit, personal data is stored and processed on infrastructure located in Europe (Hetzner / Contabo) and, for payments, by Payoneer, our payment provider. Depending on where you live, this may mean your personal data is processed outside your own country; where required, we rely on standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards. We do not sell personal data, and we do not share it with anyone beyond the processors listed in section 4.

9. Changes

We update this notice when practices change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current version. Material changes are communicated by email to affected clients.
