Overview

This Privacy Policy describes how Muhammad Sajjad ("we," "us," or "our"), operating at muhammad-sajjad.com, collects, uses, and protects information you provide when you visit our website or submit an inquiry.

We provide local SEO services and WordPress website design for garage door companies in the United States. Your privacy is important to us. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes โ€” full stop.

The short version: We only collect information you voluntarily provide (like your name and email when you fill out our contact form) and standard analytics data. We use it to respond to you and improve our website. That's it.

Information We Collect

We collect two types of information on this website:

Information you provide directly: When you fill out our contact or audit request form, we collect:

  • Your first and last name
  • Your business email address
  • Your phone number
  • Your business name and website URL
  • Your city and service area
  • Any information you voluntarily include in the message or challenge field

Information collected automatically: When you visit muhammad-sajjad.com, we automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and analytics tools, including:

  • Your browser type and version
  • Your device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Pages you visit and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or search query that brought you here
  • Your approximate geographic location (city/region level only โ€” not precise)
  • IP address (anonymized where possible)

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as social security numbers, financial account details, or health information.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To respond to your inquiry โ€” When you submit our contact form, we use your name, email, and phone number to reach out and schedule your free audit call.
  • To prepare your audit โ€” Your business name, website, and city help us research your local search presence before the call so we can give you specific, meaningful insights.
  • To improve our website โ€” Analytics data helps us understand which pages are most useful, where visitors drop off, and how to improve the overall experience.
  • To send follow-up communications โ€” With your consent, we may send follow-up emails related to your inquiry. You can opt out of any email communication at any time.
  • To comply with legal obligations โ€” We may use or disclose your information if required to do so by law or in good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal requirements.

We do not use your information for:

  • Selling or renting to third-party marketers
  • Automated profiling or decision-making
  • Targeted advertising on social media platforms without your explicit consent

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

This website uses cookies โ€” small text files stored on your device โ€” to improve your browsing experience and help us understand how visitors use our site.

Types of cookies we use:

  • Essential cookies โ€” Required for basic website functionality. These cannot be disabled without affecting how the site works.
  • Analytics cookies โ€” Used by Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about how visitors use the site (pages visited, time on site, traffic source). This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
  • Preference cookies โ€” Remember your settings and preferences to improve your experience on return visits.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, disable existing cookies, or receive a notification when a new cookie is set. Note that disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels for ad retargeting on this website.

Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of trusted third-party services that may process your data as part of their normal operation. These include:

  • Google Analytics โ€” Collects anonymized website usage data to help us understand traffic patterns and improve our content. Data is processed by Google under their Privacy Policy. We have IP anonymization enabled. (Google Privacy Policy)
  • Google Search Console โ€” Provides data about search performance and indexing. Does not collect visitor personal information.
  • Web hosting provider โ€” Our hosting provider may store server logs that include IP addresses and access times for security and performance purposes. These logs are not used for marketing and are retained for a limited period.
  • Email service provider โ€” If you opt in to email communications, your email address is stored with our email service provider to manage delivery. You can unsubscribe at any time.

We do not integrate Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or other advertising platform tracking on this website at this time. If this changes, this policy will be updated accordingly.

We do not sell your information to any third party. Ever. This is a non-negotiable part of how we operate.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the personal information you share with us. These measures include:

  • SSL/TLS encryption on all pages of this website (HTTPS)
  • Secure, access-controlled storage of form submissions
  • Limited access to your personal data โ€” only Muhammad Sajjad and any directly necessary tools have access
  • Regular review of our data handling practices

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information using commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at the email address below.

We retain your contact information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose it was collected for (responding to your inquiry, maintaining client records) or as required by law. You may request deletion of your data at any time.
