Privacy Policy.

1. Who is responsible for your data

Ismailblogger (SMC Private) Limited, 2nd Floor, Haidari Plaza, Sector G12/4, Islamabad, Pakistan, operates ismailblogger.com and is responsible for the personal information collected through it. Contact: hello@ismailblogger.com.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us when you fill in a form:

• Playbook downloads: name, email and, optionally, WhatsApp number.
• Contact, meeting, project brief and speaking forms: name, email, phone or WhatsApp, organization, subject, preferred date and the message you write.
• Ask Ismail AI: the question you type. We save the question text and time to improve our guides, without your IP address or name. If an AI provider is used to answer, your question is sent to it only to generate the answer.

Information collected automatically when you visit: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited and the date and time, through standard server logs and security tools. We do not use advertising trackers.

We do not ask for and do not want sensitive information such as passwords, card numbers, bank details, CNIC numbers or crypto wallet seed phrases. Please never send them to us.

3. How we use your information

• to reply to your message or request;
• to send you the Playbook you asked for;
• to send occasional updates about new guides, videos and events, only if you gave us your details for that purpose, and you can opt out at any time;
• to keep the Website secure, prevent spam and abuse, and fix problems;
• to understand which content is useful and improve it;
• to meet legal obligations.

4. Legal basis

We process your information with your consent (for example when you submit a form), to respond to your request, for our legitimate interest in running and securing the Website, and where the law requires it. You can withdraw consent at any time.

5. Cookies and analytics

The Website uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies that are needed for it to work, for example for security, caching and form submissions. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which receives your IP address to deliver them. We do not use cookies for advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some parts of the Website may then not work properly.

We use Google Analytics, a service of Google LLC, to understand how visitors find and use the Website, for example which pages are read and which country a visit comes from. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and collects usage data such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type. We use this information only in aggregated form to improve our content. We do not use it to identify you and we do not use it for advertising. Google may process this data on servers outside Pakistan under its own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out by blocking cookies in your browser or by installing the Google Analytics opt out browser add on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6. Who we share information with

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only with:

• our hosting and email service providers, who process it on our behalf to run the Website and deliver messages;
• our team members who need it to answer your request;
• authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights and users from fraud.

Some providers may store data outside Pakistan. We choose reputable providers and ask them to protect your information.

7. How long we keep it

We keep form submissions for as long as needed to respond and follow up, and normally no longer than 24 months, unless the law requires longer or you ask us to delete them sooner. Update subscribers are kept until they unsubscribe.

8. Your rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete your personal information, to stop sending you updates, or to withdraw consent. Email hello@ismailblogger.com with your request. We will reply within 30 days. Every update message also includes a way to opt out.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls and security updates. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

The Website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Third party sites and our other products

This policy covers ismailblogger.com only. Links to other websites, and software products such as TubeMind, Breakoutly, Picktool.ai and Capture Studio, have their own privacy policies.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top shows the latest version. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
