Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Fehmeeda Qayum (“Controller”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects personal data when you visit fehmeeda.me, contact us, or book a meeting through the website. Under the GDPR, a privacy notice should clearly explain who is processing personal data, why it is processed, the legal basis, recipients, retention, transfers, and the rights available to individuals.[europa]

1. Data Controller

Fehmeeda Qayum
Website: fehmeeda.me
Email: contact@fehmeeda.me

Fehmeeda Qayum acts as the data controller for personal data processed through this website, except where third parties act as independent controllers for their own services. GDPR guidance requires the privacy notice to identify who is processing personal data and how that person or business can be contacted.[europa]

2. Personal Data Collected

Depending on how the website is used, the following categories of personal data may be collected:

  • Contact data, such as name, email address, and any information submitted through forms or direct communication.
  • Booking data, such as appointment date, time, timezone, and other information submitted when scheduling through Cal.com.
  • Technical and usage data, such as IP address, browser type, device information, approximate location, referrer, pages visited, and interactions on the website.
  • Cookie and identifier data, including online identifiers collected through analytics technologies.

Google Analytics requires disclosure that it collects and processes data about how users interact with a website or app. Cal.com’s privacy materials also indicate that it processes data connected to scheduling and account functionality.[cal]

3. Purposes of Processing

Personal data is processed for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the website.
  • To respond to messages and enquiries.
  • To allow visitors to schedule meetings through Cal.com.
  • To understand website traffic and improve performance, content, and user experience.
  • To protect the website against misuse, fraud, or security issues.
  • To comply with legal obligations where applicable.

GDPR requires personal data to be collected for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes communicated clearly to users.[europa]

4. Legal Bases for Processing

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, personal data is processed on one or more of the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR:

  • Consent — for non-essential cookies and analytics technologies, where required.
  • Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, improve, and administer the website, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
  • Contractual necessity or pre-contractual steps — where processing is necessary to arrange or manage a meeting or respond to a request related to services.
  • Legal obligation — where retention or disclosure is required by applicable law.

EU guidance states that consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, and users must be able to withdraw it.[europa]

5. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics to measure and analyze how visitors use the site. Google Analytics may collect information such as page views, time spent on pages, interactions, device and browser information, approximate geographic location, and online identifiers through cookies and similar technologies. Google requires sites using Analytics to disclose its use and explain how data is collected and processed.[support.google]

Where required by applicable law, Google Analytics will only be activated after valid consent has been obtained through a cookie banner or consent management mechanism. Under GDPR, consent for analytics cookies must be informed and affirmative where consent is the legal basis.[europa]

Google processes data in accordance with its own privacy terms and privacy policy, available here: Google Privacy Policy.[policies.google]

6. Cal.com

This website uses Cal.com as a scheduling and booking tool. When a meeting is booked, personal data entered into the booking form, such as name, email address, scheduling details, and other information you choose to provide, may be processed to arrange and manage appointments. Cal.com describes in its privacy policy how it collects, uses, and protects personal data in connection with its service.[cal]

Where Cal.com is connected to calendar services, Cal.com states that its Google Calendar free/busy integration accesses availability information to determine whether a time slot is available, rather than full event details such as titles or locations.[cal]

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Essential website functionality.
  • Analytics and performance measurement.
  • Remembering consent choices, where applicable.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings, and where a consent banner is used, you can also withdraw or adjust preferences there. GDPR guidance states that users must be informed clearly and be able to withdraw consent where consent is relied upon.[europa]

8. Recipients of Personal Data

Personal data may be shared with service providers who support operation of the website, including:

  • Google, for website analytics.
  • Cal.com, for meeting scheduling and booking functionality.
  • Website hosting, email, security, or other technical providers, if relevant.

GDPR notices should identify recipients or categories of recipients that receive personal data.[europa]

9. International Data Transfers

Some service providers may process personal data outside your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area. Where personal data is transferred internationally, appropriate safeguards are used where required by law, such as contractual protections or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms. GDPR requires transparency about transfers outside the EU and the safeguards used for those transfers.[europa]

10. Data Retention

Personal data is kept only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, maintain analytics records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce rights. GDPR guidance states that privacy information should explain how long data will be stored, or the criteria used to determine that period.[europa]

Retention periods may vary depending on the category of data, the nature of the interaction, and legal or operational requirements.

11. Your Rights Under GDPR

If GDPR applies to you, you may have the following rights, subject to legal limitations:

  • The right of access.
  • The right to rectification.
  • The right to erasure.
  • The right to restriction of processing.
  • The right to data portability.
  • The right to object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • The right to withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
  • The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

The GDPR specifically requires that individuals are informed about their rights, including withdrawal of consent where consent is used as the legal basis.[europa]

12. Data Security

Appropriate technical and organizational measures are used to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Google states that it is committed to safeguarding data confidentiality and security within its analytics services, while Cal.com also describes measures in its own privacy materials.[support.google]

13. Third-Party Services and Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites or use embedded third-party services. Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies and practices, which should be reviewed separately. This applies in particular to Google and Cal.com.[policies.google]
