Privacy Policy

1. Who I Am

Shariful Cuts ("Shariful Cuts," "I," "me," or "my") is the freelance video editing practice of Md. Shariful Islam, operating at sharifulcuts.com. This policy explains what information I collect from clients and website visitors, and how I use it.

2. Information I Collect

I collect information you provide directly to me, primarily through the website's contact form:

• Client project inquiries (via the "Get in Touch" form): name, email address, project details, timelines, and links to raw footage you choose to share.
• Direct correspondence: information you share with me by email or messaging when discussing a project.

I do not knowingly collect information from visitors under the age of 18, and my services are intended for business use by adults.

3. How I Use Your Information

• To respond to project inquiries.
• To set up a project workspace and coordinate delivery.
• To communicate with you about your project, including invoices and payment coordination.
• To improve my services and website.

4. Sharing of Information

I do not sell your personal information. I share information only as needed to deliver my services:

• With service providers that support my operations (for example, Google Workspace for email and file storage, and n8n for workflow automation), who process information on my behalf.
• When required by law, or to protect my rights, safety, or property, or that of my clients.

5. Data Retention

I retain project-related information for as long as needed to complete the relevant project, maintain business records, and comply with legal or tax obligations. You may request deletion of your information at any time, subject to records I am required to keep for legitimate business or legal purposes.

6. Cookies and Analytics

This website uses a small number of essential and analytics cookies. Essential cookies (for example, remembering that you've dismissed the cookie notice) are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled. I also use privacy-conscious analytics (such as Cloudflare Web Analytics) to understand aggregate website traffic — this does not use tracking cookies or collect personally identifiable information. I do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and I do not sell data to advertisers. You can control cookies through your browser settings at any time.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information I hold about you, or to object to certain uses of it. To exercise any of these rights, contact me using the details below.

8. Security

I take reasonable measures to protect the information I hold, including restricting access to project files and using reputable third-party providers for email, file storage, and automation. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of this website or my services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
