Privacy Policy

This page describes what ranaahson.com does with personal data: what the forms collect, which cookies are set, who else is involved, and what you can ask us to do about it.

Who we are

This site is run by Rana Ahson, web accessibility consultant, COO & Partner at EcomBack, 9160 Deering Ave, Chatsworth, CA 91311, United States. For anything on this page, write to info@ranaahson.com.

What we collect

What we collect, and why

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. There is no advertising on this site.

Contact form

Your name, email address, website address if you give one, and your message. It is sent to us by email and is not stored in the website’s database. We use it to answer you.

Mailing list

Your email address, when you choose to sign up, so we can send occasional accessibility notes. Ask us at any time and we will remove you.

Spam controls

A hidden field, a timing check, and a short-lived count of submissions per connection. The count stores a one-way hash of your IP address for ten minutes, then deletes it.

Server logs

Our host records requests, including IP address, browser and time, for security and troubleshooting. We do not use them to build any profile of you.

Analytics

If you consent, Google Analytics 4 records anonymous usage — pages viewed, rough location, device type. It does not run unless you accept.

Nothing else

No advertising network, no session recording, no tracking pixels, no profiling, and no data sold or shared for advertising.

Two cookies, and what each one does

cookieadmin_consentRecords the choice you made about cookies. Strictly necessary, and set whichever choice you make.
_ga and _ga_*Google Analytics 4, set only after you accept. They tell one visitor from another and expire after up to two years.

Analytics is held at Google Consent Mode’s denied default until you accept, so nothing non-essential is set before you choose. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the cookie banner. We honour Global Privacy Control: a GPC signal from your browser is treated as an opt-out of sale or sharing under the CCPA/CPRA.

Third parties

Who else is involved

Google — Analytics and Tag Manager, with your consent, and Google Fonts, which loads typefaces from Google’s servers and in doing so discloses your IP address to Google.
A2 Hosting — our web host, which stores the site and its logs.
Calendly — if you follow a booking link, your details go to Calendly under their policy, not ours.
Cloudflare Turnstile — if enabled, a spam check that runs without puzzles and without tracking you across sites.

Your rights

What you can ask us to do

Send any request to info@ranaahson.com. We may ask you to confirm your identity first, so that we do not hand your data to someone else.

If you are in the UK or the EU (GDPR)

Ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, ask us to restrict or stop using it, ask for it in a portable form, and withdraw consent at any time. We rely on your consent for analytics, and on our legitimate interest in answering enquiries and keeping the site secure for the rest. You may also complain to your data protection authority.

If you are in California (CCPA/CPRA)

Ask what personal information we have collected, ask us to delete or correct it, and opt out of sale or sharing — though we do neither. Exercising any of these rights will never get you worse service, and we respond within the statutory period.

Children

This site is aimed at businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us data, tell us and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the date below, and material changes will be flagged on the site.
