Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 17, 2026

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy (“Policy”). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide (“Personal Information”) on the hamida-architects.com website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal Information.

This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you” or “your”) and Hamida Architects (“Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”). By accessing and using the Website and Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy.

1. Collection of Information

Our top priority is customer data security. We exercise a "minimal data" policy. We collect:

• Information you provide: Personal Information you voluntarily enter into our project analysis forms (via Youform) such as name, email, and project details.
• Automatic Information: Information used to identify potential cases of abuse and establish statistical information regarding Website traffic. This is not aggregated in a way that identifies any particular user.

2. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a resident of California, you have specific rights regarding your Personal Information:

• Right to Know: You may request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected.
• Right to Delete: You have the right to request the deletion of your Personal Information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Right to Opt-Out: We do not sell your personal information. However, you have the right to opt-out of any future sale or sharing of information for cross-contextual behavioral advertising.
• Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

3. Use and Processing of Information

We act as a data controller when we ask you to submit information necessary for your use of the Services. We use your information to:

• Provide our architectural and design services.
• Communicate regarding project inquiries submitted through our forms.
• Improve Website functionality and user experience.
• Comply with legal obligations.

4. Disclosure and Service Providers

We may share your information with trusted Service Providers (such as Youform for lead capture and Google Analytics for site performance) whose privacy policies are consistent with ours. We do not share personally identifiable information with unaffiliated third parties for their own marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and Do Not Track

• Cookies: We use cookies to help personalize your online experience. You can modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.
• Do Not Track: While some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) signal, our Website is not currently set up to interpret or respond to DNT signals, though we strictly limit the data we collect.

6. Information Security and Retention

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access, use, modification, and disclosure of Personal Information. We will retain your Personal Information only for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy unless a longer period is required by law.

7. Privacy of Children

We do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not submit any Personal Information through the Website and Services.

8. Changes and Acceptance

We reserve the right to modify this Policy at any time. Your continued use of the Website after the updated date constitutes your consent to those changes.
