This policy explains what information umarjqofficial.com collects, why, who it is shared with and the choices you have. The site is run by Umar J. Qureshi, an independent Fractional Content Director based in Lahore, Pakistan. For any privacy question or request, email umarjq@gmail.com.
Information you give me
- Contact form. Your name, email, company, country, the service you're interested in, your budget and your message. It is stored in the website's database and emailed to me so I can reply.
- Newsletter. Your email address and, if you give it, your first name. It is stored in the website's database and with Brevo, the email service I use to send the newsletter. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link.
- AI strategy call. The messages you type or speak in the call assistant are sent to Google's Gemini service to generate replies. If you share your name, email or company during the call, a summary is saved as a lead and emailed to me. Speech recognition and the spoken voice use your browser's built-in features, which your browser maker may process.
- Template orders. When you pay for a template, your name, email, payment method, payment reference and the payment screenshot you upload. I use them only to check the payment and email you the download link.
Information collected automatically
- Analytics. Google Analytics and Google Search Console (through Google Site Kit) measure visits, pages viewed, the device and browser used, the approximate location and how people find the site. I use this only in aggregate to improve the site.
- Advertising. The site shows ads through Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies to show ads and, where allowed, ads based on your visits to this and other sites. Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland are asked for consent first. You can turn off personalized ads in Google's Ad Settings and read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
- Server and security logs. Like every website, the hosting server records IP addresses and browser details for security and to keep the site running. The tools and downloads use your IP address for a short time (up to a day) to prevent abuse and to avoid counting the same download twice.
- Your browser's storage. The site remembers your light or dark theme choice and your language choice in your browser's storage and cookies, on your own device.
The tools
- Engagement rate calculator. When you paste a profile link, the site requests that account's public data from the Instagram Graph API (Meta) or the YouTube Data API (Google): profile details, follower count and recent public posts. It only reads public information about business and creator accounts. It never accesses your own social media account, and it never posts anything. Results are cached for up to 6 hours to keep the tool fast, then discarded.
- Website audit tool. The site fetches the public page you enter and scores it. The result is cached for up to 6 hours, then discarded.
Creators Pro and the creator database
If you join Creators Pro, I keep your email address, the payment method you name, the transaction ID, your payment screenshot and the dates your membership runs, to check payments, sign you in and email you about your membership. Your device keeps a random access token (in a cookie and local storage) so you stay signed in; signing out removes it.
The creator database lists public creator accounts. It shows a creator's city, country and business email or phone only when the creator publishes them on their own profile, channel or website for business enquiries, together with where they were found. Contact details are shown only to Creators Pro members, are never sold on their own, and are checked when the list is updated. If you are a creator listed here, you can ask me to update or remove your details at any time through the contact form or umarjq@gmail.com, and I'll do it within 48 hours.
Who your information is shared with
I do not sell your personal information. It is shared only with the services that run the site, each for the purpose described above: my web host, Google (Analytics, Search Console, AdSense, Gemini, YouTube Data API and fonts), Meta (Instagram Graph API) and Brevo (newsletter). These services may process data outside Pakistan. I may also disclose information if the law requires it.
How long it is kept
Inquiries, leads and orders are kept while they are useful for our business relationship and my records, normally no longer than 3 years. Newsletter details are kept until you unsubscribe. Tool caches and abuse-prevention records expire within a day.
Your choices and rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information I hold about you, or object to how it is used, by emailing umarjq@gmail.com. I will reply within 30 days. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, block or delete cookies in your browser settings and opt out of personalized ads as described above.
Data deletion for Instagram and Facebook data
The engagement rate calculator does not store Instagram or Facebook data beyond its 6-hour cache. To have cached data about your account deleted sooner, email umarjq@gmail.com with the subject "Data deletion" and your account's username. It will be deleted within 7 days and you will get a confirmation.
Children
This site is for businesses and professionals. It is not directed at children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect their information.
