Afnan Studio ("we," "us," "our," "the Studio") operates the website afnanahmed.framer.website (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, the legal basis for processing it, and what rights you have.

By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Who We Are (Data Controller)

Afnan Studio is the data controller responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

Contact: afnan@afnan.studio

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Directly

When you submit the audit-intake form or book a call, we collect:

• Name

• Email address

• LinkedIn profile URL

• Website URL

• Any other information you include in your message

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, we collect via Framer Analytics, our website builder's built-in, privacy-first analytics tool:

• Pages visited and time on Site

• Referring source

• Approximate location (country/device type, derived from browser-provided information)

Framer Analytics does not use cookies. It does not generate persistent identifiers and cannot track you across visits or across other websites. Instead, it calculates unique visitors by hashing your IP address and user agent together with a secret value that rotates and resets daily — meaning no raw IP address or user agent is stored, and the same visitor cannot be identified or linked across days.

2.3 Information Collected by Third Parties

Booking a call directs you to Cal.com, which collects your name, email, and scheduling preferences under its own privacy policy. We are not responsible for Cal.com's data practices beyond our own use of the service.

Categories of Personal Information (CCPA Disclosure)

In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information, as defined under the CCPA/CPRA:

• Identifiers (name, email address — collected only through the audit-intake form)

• Internet activity (pages visited, referring source — collected in anonymized, non-identifiable form via Framer Analytics)

We do not sell or share this information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we have not done so in the preceding 12 months.

3. Why We Collect It, and Our Legal Basis (GDPR)

PurposeLegal BasisResponding to audit requests and inquiriesContract / pre-contractual steps taken at your requestScheduling and conducting callsContract / pre-contractual stepsSite analytics (Framer Analytics)Legitimate interest in understanding Site usage — no persistent identifiers or cookies are involvedDirect communication about our services, if you've contacted usLegitimate interest in responding to your inquiry

4. International Data Transfers

Afnan Studio is based in Pakistan. If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or elsewhere with data transfer restrictions, your information may be transferred to and processed in a country outside your own, including Pakistan and the United States (where Cal.com, our scheduling provider, may process data). Where required, we rely on Cal.com's own compliance mechanisms (such as standard contractual clauses) for cross-border transfers, and Cal.com is responsible for its own transfer safeguards under its privacy policy.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

The Site does not use cookies. Our analytics are provided by Framer Analytics, which measures visits using a daily-rotating anonymized hash rather than cookies or persistent identifiers, and does not track you across visits, devices, or other websites.

Because no non-essential cookies are placed on your device, no cookie consent banner is required under GDPR or ePrivacy rules for this Site's current setup. If we add any third-party tool in the future that does use cookies (such as an embedded video player, chat widget, or additional analytics tool), we will update this policy and add a cookie consent banner before that tool goes live.

6. Data Retention

We retain audit-intake form data for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, and — if you become a client — for the duration of our working relationship plus a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping. Framer Analytics data is anonymized at the point of collection and retained per Framer's default retention settings (30 days on Basic/Pro plans, longer on higher-tier plans).

7. Your Rights

If you're in the EEA/UK (GDPR):

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data

• Object to or restrict certain processing

• Data portability

• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing done before withdrawal

• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe your data has been mishandled

If you're a California resident (CCPA/CPRA):

• Know what personal information is collected and why

• Request deletion of your personal information

• Correct inaccurate personal information

• Opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell or share your data)

• Non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights

How to Exercise Your Rights

Email afnan@afnan.studio with your request. To verify your identity before fulfilling a request, we may ask you to confirm the email address associated with your inquiry. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally 30 days under GDPR, 45 days under CCPA).

8. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

10. Third-Party Links

The Site may link to third-party websites (client projects, social profiles). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted here with a revised effective date.
