Your information, treated with care.

Who looks after your information

Aahliyah Amerat is responsible for personal information collected through this freelance portfolio and its enquiry form. Contact me directly at aahliyah@ambitiouspeace.com about privacy or your records.

What I collect and why

The form collects your name, email, project description, audience, budget, timing and readiness answers. Optional details can include your business, available content and specialist expertise. I also keep relevant correspondence, project agreements, invoices and notes needed to deliver work.

I use enquiry information to respond and take steps towards a contract at your request. Client information is used to perform that contract. Keeping proportionate records, protecting the service and resolving disputes are legitimate business interests. Records required by law are kept to meet those obligations.

Please don’t submit passwords, medical information or identifiable customer records. If a project needs access to personal data, we agree suitable handling and any required data-processing agreement first.

While you complete the form

Your unfinished answers are saved in this browser tab’s session storage so you can move between questions or refresh. They are cleared after successful submission. Closing the tab normally clears them too, although browser session restoration can preserve them. The form sends your brief when you choose to submit it.

Where your enquiry goes

Your submitted brief is stored in the site’s database, hosted on Cloudflare through OpenAI Sites. The leads dashboard is private, with access restricted to the owner. There is no public directory of enquiries.

Resend delivers a notification to my business inbox containing your name, project type, budget, timing and enquiry reference. My email provider processes that message and any correspondence. Hosting and email providers may also process technical information, such as request or delivery logs, to operate and protect their services.

These providers process information to deliver the service; this is not a promise that data stays only on my device. Processing locations depend on their infrastructure and settings. Where information is transferred outside the UK, applicable data-protection safeguards are required. Contact me for details of the providers and relevant transfer arrangements.

Your ideas stay confidential

I treat non-public ideas, plans and business information as confidential. I won’t sell them, pass them to another client or publish your brief. Access is limited to what is needed for your enquiry or agreed work, or where disclosure is legally required.

I use AI-assisted development tools in my work. Any sharing of identifiable client information or confidential materials with those tools must be agreed as part of the project. I won’t publish your work as a case study or testimonial without permission. This does not prevent me using general skills or reusable code that contains none of your confidential information.

How long records are kept

Unsuccessful or inactive enquiries are normally kept for up to 12 months after the last meaningful contact, then reviewed for deletion. If you become a client, relevant contract and project records may be retained for up to six years after completion for business records and possible claims. Tax records are kept for the legally required period.

A dispute or legal obligation may require longer retention. Unneeded copies should be removed sooner. These are retention rules, not a claim that the website automatically deletes records on a timer. Provider logs and backups follow their separate retention arrangements.

Your choices and rights

You can ask to access or correct your information, request deletion or restriction, or object to processing based on legitimate interests. Data portability may apply. These rights depend on the circumstances; some records must be kept for legal reasons. If processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it.

Email me directly with your request. You don’t need to complete a new project enquiry. I may need to verify your identity and will normally respond within one month. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Storage and automated decisions

The enquiry form uses session storage for your draft. Hosting and sign-in services may use essential storage or cookies to deliver and secure the service. Your form answers can produce a suggested next step using rules about your budget, timing and readiness. I review enquiries personally; this suggestion does not automatically accept or reject your project.
