This website is operated by or on behalf of Zubaid Shah ("we", "us", "our"). We are the data controller in respect of personal data collected through this website. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you use this site.

We may collect:

Information you provide directly: When you contact us by email or through any contact form on the site (for example for casting, collaborations, or other professional enquiries), we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message.

Technical and usage data: When you visit the site, we may automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device type, and information about how you use the site (for example which pages you view). This may be collected via cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy for details).

We process your personal data on the following bases: (1) your consent, where you have given it (for example for non-essential cookies or marketing); (2) performance of a contract or steps at your request before entering into a contract (for example when responding to a professional enquiry); (3) our legitimate interests in operating and improving this website and communicating with you; and (4) where required by law.

We use the information we collect to: respond to your enquiries and professional requests; improve and operate this website; analyse how the site is used (in aggregated form where possible); comply with legal obligations; and, where you have agreed, to send you relevant updates (for example about projects or news). We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

We may share your data with service providers who assist us in running this website (such as hosting or analytics providers), subject to strict confidentiality and data protection obligations. We may also disclose your data where required by law or to protect our rights. We do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. For example, we may keep correspondence related to professional enquiries for a reasonable period to follow up. Technical and usage data may be retained in anonymised or aggregated form for longer. You may ask us to delete your data earlier where we have no legal obligation to retain it.

Depending on your location (including if you are in the European Economic Area or the UK), you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; have inaccurate data corrected; request erasure of your data; restrict or object to certain processing; data portability; and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details on this website. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or alteration. Because the internet is not completely secure, we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted via this website. You provide information at your own risk.

This website is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy where permitted by law. Last updated: February 2026.

For any questions about this Privacy Policy or our use of your personal data, or to exercise your rights, please contact us using the email or other contact details provided on this website.
