Privacy Policy
Introduction and Commitment to Your Privacy
Welcome to www.jamadek.com. This Privacy Policy is a comprehensive document that explains in great detail how I, Jama Abdilahi Mahamoud, handle your personal information when you visit and interact with my professional portfolio website. My commitment to you is absolute: I am dedicated to protecting your data, upholding your privacy rights, and being completely transparent about my data practices. This policy is designed not only to comply with international data protection standards but also to build a foundation of trust with every visitor, including prospective employers, clients, collaborators, and anyone interested in my work.
I believe that your personal data is a fundamental aspect of your identity, and you should have full control over it. This document is meticulously structured to provide you with all the necessary information, divided into several key sections for clarity. You will learn about the exact types of information I collect, the precise reasons for its collection, how it is stored and secured, and what your rights are regarding your data.
What Information Do I Collect?
The data I collect is strictly limited to what is necessary to operate this professional portfolio website effectively. I follow a principle of data minimization, which means I only collect what is essential and nothing more. The information I collect falls into two main categories:
- Directly Provided Information: This is the personal data you voluntarily choose to provide to me. The most common scenario for this is when you reach out to me via the contact email address listed on my website. When you send an email, I will naturally receive:
- Your email address, so I can respond to your message.
- Your name, if you include it, so I can address you properly.
- The content of your message, which may contain any other personal information you decide to share (e.g., your phone number, professional title, or details about a project).
- Automatically Collected Information (Analytics): When you navigate through my website, some non-personal, technical data is automatically collected by my web hosting and analytics services. This data is aggregated and anonymized, meaning it cannot be used to identify you as an individual. This information helps me understand how visitors interact with the site and allows me to make informed improvements. The automatically collected data includes:
- IP Address: Your device’s unique identifier on the internet. This is used to understand the general geographic location of visitors (e.g., country or city) but is not linked to your personal identity.
- Browser and Device Information: I collect technical details about the type of browser you use (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari), your operating system (e.g., Windows, Android, iOS), and the type of device you are on (e.g., desktop, mobile phone, tablet). This helps me ensure the website is fully functional and optimized for all platforms.
- Usage Data: This includes details about how you navigate the site. This could involve the specific pages you visit, the time you spend on each page, the order in which you view pages, and the links you click. This valuable data helps me identify which sections of my portfolio are most popular and where the user experience can be enhanced.
- Referral URLs: This indicates the address of the website you were on immediately before you landed on my site. It helps me understand where my website traffic is coming from.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: This website may use cookies, which are small text files placed on your device. Cookies are used to remember your preferences, enhance your browsing experience, and help me analyze website traffic. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
How Do I Use Your Information?
I use your information for specific, legitimate purposes, and I will never use it in a way that is inconsistent with those purposes. I do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your data to third parties for marketing or any other commercial purposes.
- To Fulfill Your Requests: The primary use of any personal information you provide is to respond to your inquiries and messages. This is the core purpose of my contact form.
- For Website Improvement and Optimization: The non-personal, aggregated data is used for analytical purposes. By analyzing usage patterns, I can make informed decisions about my website’s content, navigation, and design to provide a better and more intuitive experience for all visitors.
- To Ensure Website Security and Integrity: I may use collected data to detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity, and to maintain the integrity of my website’s systems.
- For Professional Engagement: If you reach out to me with a professional inquiry (e.g., a job opportunity or a collaboration proposal), I will use the information you provide to evaluate the opportunity and communicate with you about it.
Data Storage and Security
The security of your data is paramount. I am committed to implementing and maintaining robust security measures to protect any information I collect from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
- Secure Infrastructure: The website is hosted on secure servers that employ industry-standard security protocols to safeguard data.
- Access Control: Access to any personal information is strictly limited to me, Jama Abdilahi Mahamoud. I do not share this data with any other individual or entity unless explicitly required by law.
- No Unnecessary Data: I adhere to the principle of data minimization, which means I do not retain information longer than necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected.
- Data Protection: I take reasonable steps to ensure that any third-party services used (such as web hosting or analytics providers) also comply with high standards of data security and privacy.
Your Rights
As a visitor to my website, you have several rights regarding your personal data. I am committed to honoring these rights and providing you with the means to exercise them.
- The Right to Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal information I hold about you.
- The Right to Rectification: If you believe that any personal information I hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that it be corrected or completed.
- The Right to Erasure: In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal data.
- The Right to Restrict Processing: You can request that I limit the way I use your personal data.
- The Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- The Right to Object: You can object to the processing of your personal data under certain conditions.
