My Commitment to Your Privacy

At Ahmad Photographs, I respect your privacy. This website exists to share my photography and make prints available to you. I only collect the data that’s necessary to make that possible — like delivering an order, answering a message, or making sure the website runs properly.

What Data Is Collected

When you use my site, a few different types of data may be collected:

  • Basic browsing data (IP address, browser type, device info) — this is handled automatically by Squarespace, the platform hosting my website, for performance and security.

  • Order data (name, address, email, payment details) — only when you buy a print.

  • Communication data — if you contact me via email or form.
    I don’t buy, sell, or trade your information.

How I Use Your Data

I only use your data to:

  • Fulfil and ship your orders (with DHL inside Germany and the EU).

  • Process payments securely (via card providers).

  • Keep the website working and improve your browsing experience.

  • Respond to your questions.

  • Meet my legal and tax obligations in Germany.

Third Parties Involved

  • Squarespace (USA): Hosts this site and provides analytics. Data transfer is covered by GDPR safeguards.

  • Payment providers: To process card payments securely.

  • DHL: To deliver your orders.

  • Authorities: Only if required by German or EU law.

Cookies & Analytics

My site uses cookies and Squarespace analytics to function properly and to understand how people interact with it. You can switch cookies off in your browser, but some features (like the shopping cart) may not work.

Your GDPR Rights

As someone based in Germany and the EU, you have the right to:

  • Access the data stored about you.

  • Ask me to correct or delete it.

  • Restrict or object to processing.

  • Request a copy of your data (portability).

  • Withdraw consent at any time.
    If you ever feel your rights are not respected, you can also complain to the Berlin Data Protection Authority: https://www.datenschutz-berlin.de.

Storage

I keep your data only as long as necessary: to complete your order, to answer your inquiry, or as long as German law requires me to keep business records. After that, it’s securely deleted.

Security

I use SSL encryption and industry-standard measures to protect your data. Still, no internet transfer is ever 100% risk-free.

Updates

I may update this Privacy Policy if my website or services change. The latest version will always be here.
