Privacy Policy

Last updated

This policy describes how Muhammed Mekky, operating as Mekky Studios, handles personal information connected with this website and enquiries about our work. For privacy questions, contact contact@muhammedmekky.com.

If you contact the studio, request a conversation or follow a booking link, we may receive your name, contact details, message and information you choose to provide about your project. We use it to respond, discuss a possible engagement and, where applicable, deliver agreed work.

Please do not send unnecessary sensitive information. Information entered on an external booking or contact service is also subject to that service’s privacy notice.

Hosting and service infrastructure may process request information such as IP addresses, browser details, timestamps and requested resources to deliver the website, maintain security and diagnose faults. These necessary operations are separate from optional audience analytics.

With your permission, this website uses Google Analytics 4, managed through Google Tag Manager, to understand page visits and how people use the site. Analytics may process page and referrer information, browser and device characteristics, approximate location and interactions, and may set first-party analytics cookies.

The optional Google tracking scripts are not loaded by this website until you select Accept. Declining does not prevent you from using the website. Advertising consent is not granted by accepting analytics. We do not intentionally send names, email addresses, message contents or payment information to Analytics.

Google processes analytics data under its own terms and privacy information. Your browser may block analytics even after you consent.

We store your analytics choice in your browser under mekky-consent-v1, with a maximum lifetime of one year. This preference is used to remember your decision, not to measure your activity.

You can change your decision through Cookie settings at any time. If you withdraw consent after accepting, the page reloads to stop the loaded tracking scripts, and this website attempts to remove its accessible Google Analytics cookies. Previously collected information is not automatically erased by withdrawing consent.

Clearing browser storage or using another browser may cause the banner to appear again. The site remains usable when optional analytics is declined.

We use enquiry information to respond to your request, take steps towards an engagement and carry out agreed work. Necessary technical processing supports operation and security. Optional analytics relies on your choice.

Where applicable privacy law requires a particular legal basis, the basis depends on the purpose: your consent for optional analytics; requested pre-contractual or contractual steps for an engagement; and legitimate operational interests or legal obligations where appropriate. You may withdraw analytics consent without affecting earlier processing.

Information may be handled by providers supporting hosting, communications, booking and analytics, as needed for those services. Google is the analytics provider. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect legitimate rights.

We do not offer your enquiry information for sale. Following an external link may share technical request information with the destination; review its policy before providing information.

We keep enquiry and engagement information for as long as needed for the conversation, delivery, recordkeeping and applicable legal obligations. Retention depends on the type of information and purpose; contact us for details relevant to your situation.

Analytics retention is controlled in the Google Analytics property. Google and other service providers may process information outside your country. Applicable contractual and legal safeguards depend on the provider and processing involved.

Depending on the law that applies to you, you may be entitled to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or to object to particular processing. Contact contact@muhammedmekky.com with your request. We may need to verify your identity proportionately before responding.

You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. This policy does not limit rights provided by applicable law.

We will update this page when relevant practices change and show the revision date above. A new purpose requiring consent will require an appropriate new choice; simply continuing to browse is not consent to optional analytics.
