In short: I collect only what you send through the contact form and basic technical data needed to run and protect this site. I use it to reply to you. I never sell your data or add you to a mailing list without your permission.
1. Who I am
This website, zubairakbar.com, is the personal website of Zubair Akbar, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (“I”, “me”, “my”). I am responsible for the personal data collected through this website. You can reach me at [email protected].
2. Data I collect
- Information you give me: your name, email address, company (optional), the topic you choose and your message when you use the contact form or email me.
- Technical information: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring website and date and time of visit, recorded in server logs and, if you agree, in analytics.
- Spam-protection signals: data processed by the form's bot check to confirm you are a person.
Please do not send sensitive information (for example identity numbers, bank details or health information) through the contact form.
3. How I use it
- To read and reply to your enquiry.
- To pass your enquiry to Accentureon Consulting LLC, Xpert Group FZE-LLC or Xpert Group Pakistan, only where you ask about their services.
- To keep the website secure, prevent spam and fix problems.
- To understand which content is useful, using aggregated analytics.
I do not sell or rent personal data, and I do not send newsletters or marketing emails unless you clearly ask to receive them.
4. Legal basis
I process personal data in line with the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data and, for visitors from the European Union or United Kingdom, the principles of the GDPR. I rely on:
- Your consent — when you submit the contact form or accept analytics cookies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests — keeping the website secure and working properly.
- Legal obligations — where the law requires me to keep or disclose information.
5. Cookies & analytics
The website uses only cookies that are essential for it to work and stay secure. Analytics are privacy-friendly, measure visits in aggregate and run only if you accept them in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time from the “Cookie settings” link in the footer, or block cookies in your browser.
6. Sharing
I share personal data only with:
- Service providers that run the website for me — web hosting, email hosting, security and content delivery — who may use the data only to provide their service.
- The company you asked about (Accentureon Consulting LLC, Xpert Group FZE-LLC or Xpert Group Pakistan), when your enquiry is about their services.
- Authorities, when required by law.
7. International transfers
Some service providers may store data on servers outside the UAE. Where this happens, I use providers that apply appropriate safeguards to protect personal data.
8. Retention
- Contact form messages and replies: up to 24 months after our last contact, unless they lead to an engagement, in which case the relevant company's record-keeping rules apply.
- Server and security logs: up to 90 days.
- Aggregated analytics: kept without identifying you.
9. Your rights
You can ask me to give you a copy of your personal data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its use, or withdraw your consent. Email [email protected] and I will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the UAE Data Office or the data protection authority in your country.
10. Security
The website uses encrypted connections (HTTPS), spam protection and access controls. No online service is completely secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect your data.
11. Children, links & changes
This website is not intended for children under 18, and I do not knowingly collect their data. Links to other websites, including my SaaS products and brands, are covered by those websites' own privacy policies. I may update this policy; the date at the top shows the latest version.
