Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Shadi Abu Hilal (“I”, “me”) collects and uses information when you visit shadiabuhilal.com (the “Site”). The Site is a personal portfolio with no contact forms, accounts, or newsletters.

I aim to comply with applicable privacy laws worldwide, including the EU/UK GDPR, ePrivacy rules, California privacy laws (CCPA/CPRA), Brazil’s LGPD, Canada’s PIPEDA, and similar regulations.

Essential local storage: your theme (light/dark), language preference, and cookie consent choice are stored in your browser so the Site works as you expect. These are not used for advertising.

Analytics (only with your consent): if you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) collects usage data such as pages viewed, approximate location (derived from IP), browser/device type, and referral source. I do not collect names, email addresses, or payment data on this Site.

GA4 is provided by Google LLC. Google may process data on servers outside your country. Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Analytics runs only after you click “Accept analytics”. Until then, GA4 Consent Mode keeps analytics storage denied. I have disabled Google advertising signals and ad personalization on this property.

Measurement ID: G-RH58SF85HL. You can opt out anytime by rejecting analytics in the cookie banner or clearing site data in your browser.

Essential storage: legitimate interest in operating a functional website.

Analytics: your consent, which you may withdraw at any time by rejecting analytics or clearing local storage.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, to object, to data portability, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

California residents: I do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may still request access or deletion of information associated with your visit via the contact method below.

Brazil (LGPD) and other regions: you may request confirmation of processing, anonymization, or deletion where applicable.

Consent and theme preferences remain in your browser until you clear them. Google Analytics retention follows my GA4 property settings (typically up to 14 months for event data).

The Site uses HTTPS and security headers. No system is perfectly secure; I take reasonable measures appropriate to a static personal site.

The Site is not directed at children under 16 (or the age required in your jurisdiction). I do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

I may update this policy; the “Last updated” date will change. Material changes may be reflected in the cookie banner.
