Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 5, 2026

Last Updated: September 5, 2026

Basirah Designs ("Basirah Designs," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and how you can contact us about your information.

Basirah Designs provides website design, development, and related services to businesses and organizations. This Policy applies to information collected through basirahdesigns.com, our onboarding and project forms, contact forms, and communications with us.

This Policy is intended to describe our actual privacy practices. It does not create a promise that we collect or process information that we do not actually collect or process.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Basirah Designs.

1.1 No User Accounts

Our website does not offer user accounts or sign-in. You can browse the site and submit our contact and onboarding forms without creating an account.

1.2 Contact and Inquiry Information

If you contact us or submit an inquiry through our website, we may collect information such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Current website, if provided
  • Your message or questions
  • Images or other files you voluntarily attach
  • Other information you choose to provide

We use this information to respond to you and determine how we may be able to provide website services.

To prevent spam and abuse of our forms, we record a hashed version of your IP address when you submit a form. Your IP address is converted with a one-way cryptographic hash, so we never store it in readable form. The hash is used only to limit how many forms can be sent in a day.

1.3 Client Onboarding and Project Information

When you become a client or begin a website project with us, we may ask you to provide information needed to design, build, or configure your website.

This may include:

  • Business name
  • Business email address
  • Business phone number
  • Business address
  • Business hours
  • Service areas
  • Services or products offered
  • Business description and history
  • Website goals
  • Desired pages and functionality
  • Social-media links
  • Existing website and domain information
  • Google Maps or other business-listing information
  • Competitor or inspiration websites
  • Branding and design preferences
  • Logos
  • Business photographs
  • Testimonials
  • Other text, images, files, or information you want included in your website

Much of this information is provided voluntarily by clients through our Basirah Designs onboarding form and through a separate Google Form used for website-development questionnaires and project information.

We collect this information because it is necessary or useful for providing the website design and development services you request.

For example, a business address may be collected because the client wants that address displayed on its website.

1.4 Payment and Subscription Information

We use a third-party payment provider to process payments and subscriptions.

When you purchase a service or subscription, our payment provider may process payment information such as payment-card or bank-account information. Basirah Designs does not intentionally collect or store your full payment-card number or other complete payment credentials on our own systems.

We may receive or maintain information related to a transaction, such as:

  • Customer name and email address
  • Subscription or membership status
  • Payment status
  • Transaction or invoice information
  • The service or plan purchased
  • Information necessary to identify the associated account or project

The payment provider's own privacy policy and terms govern information it processes directly.

1.5 Information About a Client's Business

Some information provided to us may concern a business rather than an individual—for example, a business's public address, business hours, services, logo, or publicly displayed contact information.

We may use this information to perform the requested website services.

However, business information can sometimes contain personal information. We therefore treat information that identifies or relates to an individual as personal information when applicable law requires us to do so.

2. Information We Do Not Want You to Submit

Please do not submit information that is unnecessary for your website project.

In particular, do not submit through ordinary contact forms, onboarding forms, email, or shared documents:

  • Passwords
  • Complete payment-card numbers
  • Social Security numbers
  • Government identification numbers
  • Private encryption keys
  • Highly sensitive financial information
  • Medical or health information
  • Other highly sensitive personal information

If a website project requires information subject to special legal or regulatory requirements, such as health information or information involving children, contact us before providing that information so the appropriate requirements can be evaluated.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information we collect to:

  • Respond to questions and inquiries
  • Communicate with clients and prospective clients
  • Review website-development requests
  • Plan, design, develop, test, launch, and maintain websites
  • Add client-provided information and materials to websites
  • Process payments and subscriptions
  • Provide payment and service-related communications
  • Provide customer support
  • Manage projects and client relationships
  • Protect our website, accounts, and services from misuse or unauthorized activity
  • Detect and investigate security issues
  • Maintain business and transaction records
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations
  • Enforce our agreements
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
  • Improve our services and website

We do not use client-provided project information for purposes unrelated to providing our services unless we have a lawful basis to do so and, where required, provide additional notice or obtain consent.

4. How We Use Client-Provided Website Information

Information you provide for your website project may be used to create the website you have requested.

For example, if you provide:

  • A business address, we may place it on the website.
  • Business hours, we may display them on the website.
  • A logo, we may use it in the site's branding.
  • Business photographs, we may use them in the website's design.
  • Service descriptions, we may use them as website content.

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the right to provide materials and information to us for use in your project.

If information is intended to be publicly displayed on your website, you should understand that information may become publicly accessible once the website is published.

5. Information We Share

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We may share information when reasonably necessary to operate Basirah Designs and provide the services you request.

This may include sharing information with service providers and platforms such as:

We may also disclose information:

  • Google, when Google Forms is used for project questionnaires or Gmail is used to deliver form notifications
  • Payment providers, for payment and subscription processing
  • Hosting, website-development, authentication, cloud-storage, email, or other technology providers that help us operate our website and services
  • Service providers assisting with a specific project when reasonably necessary to provide the requested service

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements with us.

  • When you direct us to do so
  • When necessary to provide a service you requested
  • To comply with applicable law, legal process, or a valid governmental request
  • To protect our rights, property, users, or services
  • To investigate fraud, security issues, or other unlawful activity
  • In connection with a business transfer or similar transaction, if applicable

We do not sell client information to data brokers or advertising companies.

6. Google Forms and Other External Forms

Basirah Designs may use Google Forms to collect information for website-development questionnaires and onboarding.

Information submitted through a Google Form may be processed and stored by Google as part of Google's services.

The information collected through these forms may include business information, contact information, website requirements, design preferences, photographs, logos, links, and other project information that you voluntarily provide.

We use this information to understand your business and provide the website services you request.

Google's privacy practices apply to information processed directly by Google.

7. Uploaded Files

Clients may voluntarily provide logos, photographs, and other files for use in website projects.

Uploaded files may be stored using the technology and storage services used by Basirah Designs to provide our services.

We may inspect files to verify that they are an appropriate file type and size and to use them for the requested website project.

Please do not upload files containing unnecessary sensitive personal information.

If you provide a photograph or other material for use on a website, you are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights or permissions to provide and use that material.

8. Cookies and Technical Information

Our website and the technology used to operate it may automatically process limited technical information when you visit or use the website.

Depending on the services and technologies active at the time, this may include information such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Basic diagnostic information
  • Security-related information
  • Dates and times of activity

Where we keep an IP address for spam prevention, it is stored only as a one-way hash, never as the readable address.

This information may be processed by our hosting, security, or other technology providers.

We do not currently use the Basirah Designs website to intentionally run third-party advertising or behavioral-retargeting systems.

Some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary for security or website functionality.

Browser settings may allow you to control certain cookies, although disabling necessary technologies may affect website functionality.

9. Advertising and Sale of Personal Information

Basirah Designs does not sell personal information for money.

We do not currently use the website for targeted advertising or behavioral retargeting.

We do not intentionally provide client information to advertisers so that they can build advertising profiles about our clients.

If our practices materially change in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy as appropriate and provide any notices or choices required by applicable law.

10. Marketing Communications

Basirah Designs does not currently use client or prospective-client information to send recurring promotional or advertising emails as part of a marketing mailing list.

We may, however, send communications necessary to operate our services, including:

  • Project communications
  • Payment receipts
  • Subscription or billing notifications
  • Renewal reminders
  • Responses to questions or inquiries
  • Security notices
  • Other administrative communications

These communications are considered service or transactional communications rather than promotional marketing.

11. Technology and Service Providers

To provide website design and development services, Basirah Designs may use third-party technology and service providers to help design, develop, configure, host, maintain, test, or otherwise operate websites and related services.

Depending on the project, information or materials provided by a client may be processed by these providers. This may include business information, website content, images, logos, website requirements, and other project materials that the client has provided for the purpose of receiving our services.

We only provide information to such providers when reasonably necessary for the services we are providing or when otherwise permitted by applicable law.

These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms, as well as any applicable contractual requirements.

Clients should avoid submitting passwords, payment-card information, Social Security numbers, medical information, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary project forms unless Basirah Designs has specifically provided an appropriate secure method and agreed to handle that information.

12. Client Websites and Information Belonging to Your Website Visitors

Basirah Designs may build, host, maintain, or otherwise work on websites for clients.

A client website may collect information directly from its own visitors, customers, employees, or users.

For example, a client website may contain:

  • Contact forms
  • Appointment forms
  • E-commerce functionality
  • Newsletter forms
  • Customer accounts
  • Analytics
  • Other integrations

When Basirah Designs processes information collected through a client's website solely to provide services to that client, the client generally determines why the information is collected and how it should be used.

In those circumstances, Basirah Designs may act as a service provider or processor for the client rather than as the primary decision-maker regarding that information.

The client is generally responsible for determining what information its website collects, providing appropriate privacy notices to its visitors, obtaining required permissions or consent, and complying with laws applicable to its business.

This Privacy Policy primarily describes information that Basirah Designs collects and uses for its own business purposes. It does not replace the privacy policy of an individual Basirah Designs client.

13. Your Responsibilities When Providing Client Information

If you provide information about another person to Basirah Designs, you should have the appropriate authority or permission to provide that information when required.

You are also responsible for making sure that information and materials you provide for your website may lawfully be used for your project.

For example, you should not provide:

  • Someone else's private information without appropriate authorization
  • Copyrighted images you do not have permission to use
  • Personal information that is unnecessary for the project
  • Passwords through ordinary forms or email

14. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, operate our business, maintain appropriate business and transaction records, protect our systems, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with applicable legal obligations.

At this time, Basirah Designs does not use a fully automated deletion schedule for all client and project information.

For example, information associated with a completed project may remain in our systems after a subscription or project ends unless it is deleted through our normal processes or in response to an appropriate deletion request.

Cancellation of a subscription does not necessarily mean that all project or business information is immediately deleted.

Some information may also remain temporarily in backups or systems operated by third-party providers.

When deletion is appropriate, we may delete information from active systems, subject to legal requirements, legitimate business needs, backup limitations, and information that must be retained to maintain appropriate records.

15. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include access controls, authentication protections, security controls, system monitoring, secure transmission, and other safeguards appropriate to the services we operate.

However, no website, database, online service, or method of transmitting information over the Internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed as a result of circumstances outside our reasonable control.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of email and other accounts under your control that you use to communicate with us.

16. Privacy Rights and Requests

Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to you, you may have rights concerning your personal information.

These rights may include, where applicable:

  • Requesting access to personal information we maintain about you
  • Requesting correction of inaccurate information
  • Requesting deletion of personal information
  • Requesting a copy of certain personal information
  • Objecting to or restricting certain processing
  • Exercising other rights provided by applicable privacy law

These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions and limitations.

To make a privacy request, contact us using the information in Section 19.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. We will generally request only information reasonably necessary to verify the request.

Please do not email sensitive identification documents unless we specifically provide a secure method for doing so.

17. Kentucky and Other U.S. Privacy Laws

Basirah Designs is operated in the United States.

Certain state privacy laws may provide additional rights to residents who meet the requirements of those laws. Whether a particular law applies can depend on factors such as the size of a business, the amount and type of information processed, the nature of the business, and statutory exemptions or thresholds.

Where applicable law gives you privacy rights, we will handle qualifying requests according to that law.

For example, the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act may provide rights to certain Kentucky consumers when the statutory requirements and thresholds are satisfied.

Nothing in this Policy is intended to limit privacy rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

18. Children's Privacy

Basirah Designs provides website-design services primarily for businesses and organizations.

Our website is not directed toward children under 13, and we do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children under 13.

Our services are not intended to be independently purchased or used by children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through the website without appropriate authorization, please contact us so that we can review the situation.

If a client operates a website directed toward children or collects children's information, the client must inform Basirah Designs before asking us to process such information so that applicable requirements can be considered.

19. Contact Us

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, want to make a privacy request, or believe your information has been handled improperly, contact Basirah Designs:

Please do not include passwords, full payment-card numbers, Social Security numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive information in your initial message.

20. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, information practices, or legal obligations change.

When we make changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the beginning of this Policy.

If a change materially affects how we use information and applicable law requires additional notice or consent, we will provide the notice or obtain consent required by law.

21. No Absolute Guarantee

This Privacy Policy describes our intended information practices as of the date shown above.

It does not guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, lost, or compromised. It also does not create contractual rights beyond those required by applicable law or expressly provided in an agreement between Basirah Designs and a client.

This Privacy Policy is not legal advice and does not determine whether any particular privacy law applies to Basirah Designs or to a client.
