Privacy Policy

This site (arfaat.com) is the personal and professional portfolio of Arfaat Shaikh, Creative Engineer and founder of GRIDKEEP. This policy explains what information is collected when you use this site, why it's collected, and how it's handled.

Last updated: 11 July 2026.

When you submit an enquiry through the contact form, the following information may be collected: your name, email address, company name, phone number, the service you're enquiring about, an approximate budget range, a description of your project, and your preferred method of contact.

This information is used solely to understand your enquiry, respond to it, and, if you choose to proceed, to scope and deliver the work discussed. Fields marked optional are used only if you choose to provide them, to give a more useful reply.

Information submitted through this site is used to:

• Respond to enquiries sent via the contact form.
• Understand and scope potential projects before any engagement begins.
• Maintain records relevant to an ongoing or completed engagement, where one proceeds.

Information is not used for unrelated marketing, and is not sold to third parties under any circumstances.

Enquiry information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry or, where an engagement proceeds, for the duration of that engagement and any period required afterward for legitimate business or legal record-keeping purposes. You can request deletion of your information at any time — see "Your rights" below.

Information submitted through this site is not shared with third parties beyond what is necessary to respond to your enquiry or deliver an agreed engagement (for example, tools used to send or receive email). No information is sold to third parties.

This site may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand general traffic patterns, such as which pages are visited and how the site is performing. This helps improve the site over time. No information collected this way is sold to third parties, and analytics data is not combined with the personal information you submit via the contact form.

If cookies are used, they are limited to what is reasonably necessary for the site to function and to understand aggregate usage — not for third-party advertising.

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information you've submitted through this site at any time. To make a request, email hello@arfaat.com and the request will be handled as promptly as possible.
