Privacy Policy
Last updated
In short: we only collect what you send us, use it to reply and work with you, and never sell it.
Who we are
AB Scale Forge (abscaleforge.com) is run by Ahsan Bilal, based in Lahore, Pakistan. We are responsible for the information described on this page. Contact us at ahsanbilaldeveloper@gmail.com.
What we collect
When you send a project inquiry: your name, email, and anything else you choose to give us: company, phone or WhatsApp number, website, country and time zone, the service you are interested in, budget, timeline, your message and any files you attach.
Automatically: to pre-select your country in the form, our hosting provider tells our server which country your request comes from. Your browser's time zone is read in the page. Neither is stored unless you submit the form. Your IP address is used briefly, in memory, to block spam and abuse; we do not save it with your inquiry.
Cookies: the public website sets no tracking or advertising cookies and runs no third-party analytics. The only cookie is a login session for our own admin area.
How we use it
- To reply to your inquiry, prepare a proposal and schedule calls in your time zone.
- To deliver and support the work if we go on to work together.
- To keep the site secure and free of spam.
Legal basis
We process inquiry details because you asked us to (consent, which you give with the checkbox on the form) and to take steps towards a contract you request. You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing us.
Where it is stored and who can see it
Inquiries and attachments are stored in a MongoDB Atlas database, and the website is hosted on Vercel. These providers process data on our behalf and may store it outside your country. Only our team can access inquiries.
We never sell your information or share it for marketing.
How long we keep it
If we don't work together, we delete inquiries within 24 months. If we do, we keep project records for as long as needed for the engagement and our legal obligations.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to access, correct, export or delete your information, or object to how we use it. Email ahsanbilaldeveloper@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days. If you are in the EU or UK, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page. Questions? Get in touch.
