Privacy notice
Last updated: 8 November 2026
This notice explains what personal data this website collects, why, who handles it and how long it is kept. It applies to mr-gfx.com, the contact form and the course booking form.
Who is responsible
Mohamed Reda, an independent marketing consultant based in Hawalli, Kuwait, is the controller of the data described here. Contact: mohamedreda.gfx@gmail.com.
What the contact form collects
Your name, email address, the topic you choose, an optional budget range, your message and the language of the page you used. A salted one-way hash of your IP address is kept to detect abuse; the IP address itself is not stored.
What the course booking form collects
The course you choose, your name, your phone number and country, your preferred date and time, whether you want to attend online or in person (in Kuwait), optional notes and the page language. Booking requests carry no payment: the owner contacts you on WhatsApp or by phone to confirm. The same salted IP hash is kept to detect abuse.
Why it is used, and the legal basis
Only to reply to your enquiry or booking request and to arrange the course you asked about. We rely on your consent (the box you tick before sending) and on our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us and in preventing spam. The data is not sold and is not used for unrelated marketing.
Who handles it
Your message or booking request is stored in a private database (Supabase) that only the site owner can read, and is also delivered by email through the owner's email provider. The site is hosted by Vercel. When a message or booking arrives, a short preview is sent to the owner's phone through Expo's push notification service. If you choose WhatsApp instead, your message is handled by WhatsApp under its own terms. These providers process data on our behalf and may do so outside Kuwait.
How long it is kept
Contact messages and course booking requests are deleted automatically after 24 months, and analytics records after 14 months. You can ask for earlier deletion at any time. Email copies follow the retention of the owner's mailbox.
Analytics
The site counts page views and a few key actions (for example sending the contact form) with its own cookieless analytics. It records the page path, language, the referring site's hostname and the action name. It does not store your IP address, does not identify you and does not track you across sites. It respects Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control.
Cookies and browser storage
The site does not set tracking or advertising cookies. It stores your language and colour-theme choice in your browser so it can remember them.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you, to withdraw your consent, and to object to its use. Write to mohamedreda.gfx@gmail.com and include the email address you used in the form. If you are in the EU or UK you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this notice changes in a meaningful way, the date above is updated and the new version is published on this page.
