Privacy Policy

Last updated: 15 July 2026

This policy is a working draft covering how the site is intended to operate. Please have it reviewed by a qualified legal professional before relying on it, and update it as your data practices evolve.

This website, thedataguyisb.com ("the Site"), is operated by Abu Bakar Nisar Alvi ("I", "me", "The Data Guy ISB"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the Site collects, how it is used, and the choices available to you. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information I collect

Information you provide. When you use the contact form or subscribe to the newsletter, you may share your name, email address, organization and message content.
Usage data. Like most websites, the Site automatically records basic technical information such as your browser type, device, approximate location (country/region), pages visited and referring source, collected through analytics and server logs.
Cookies and similar technologies. The Site uses cookies for analytics and, where enabled, advertising. See the Cookie Policy for details.

2. How I use your information

To respond to your enquiries and provide consulting, training or related services.
To send newsletter updates you have subscribed to (you can unsubscribe at any time).
To understand how the Site is used and to improve its content and performance.
To display relevant advertising, where advertising is enabled.
To keep the Site secure and prevent abuse.

3. Third-party services

The Site relies on trusted third parties that may process limited data on my behalf, each under their own privacy terms:

Cloudflare — hosting, content delivery and security.
Google Analytics — website usage measurement.
Google AdSense (or a comparable ad network) — advertising, where enabled.
YouTube — embedded videos may set cookies when played.
An email/newsletter provider — to manage subscriptions and send updates.

4. Advertising & cookies

Where advertising is enabled, third-party vendors (including Google) may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info. A cookie-consent banner lets you manage non-essential cookies where required by law.

5. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact me at alvi@radectechnologies.com.

6. Data retention & security

I keep personal data only as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law, and apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it. No online transmission is ever completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect their personal data.

8. Changes to this policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.

9. Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
