Privacy, in plain words.
Short version: we collect only what the forms ask for, we use it only to do what you asked, we never sell it, and you can have it deleted by sending one email.
What this covers
This policy explains what Shazsavvy (operated by Shahbaz Khan, part of Gyaanio Media, Dubai Marina, UAE) collects on shazsavvy.com, why, and what you can ask us to do with it. It applies to the whole site, including the free library, the courses and the enquiry forms, in English and Arabic.
What we collect
Enquiry forms (Start a project, strategy call): your name, company, website, email, WhatsApp number, budget and goal. Library account: your name, email and a password, which is stored only as a one way hash, never as plain text. Course reservation: your name, email, WhatsApp number, brokerage and experience. Newsletter: your email. When you read a book we also store which page you reached, so you can continue later.
Why we collect it
To reply to your enquiry, to give you access to the library and course area, to send you the emails you asked for (welcome, sign in codes, password resets, course access, the Sunday Brief), and to keep the library safe. Every page you read in the library carries your name and email as a watermark, so that a shared copy can be traced back to the account that shared it.
Who else sees it
We use a small number of service providers to run the site and they process your data only on our instructions: Resend (sends our emails and keeps the newsletter list), Supabase (stores library accounts and reading progress), our own lead tracker at gyaaniomedia.com (stores enquiries so we can follow up), Hostinger (hosts the site) and Calendly (if you book a call). We do not sell your data and we do not share it with advertisers.
Cookies
The site sets only the cookies it needs: a session cookie when you log in to the library, a short lived cookie during admin sign in, and a cookie that remembers whether you chose English or Arabic. There are no advertising cookies and no third party tracking pixels at the moment. If we add analytics later, this page will say so first.
How long we keep it
Library accounts stay until you ask us to delete them. Enquiries and course reservations are kept for as long as we might work together and then for the time UAE record keeping rules require. You can unsubscribe from the Sunday Brief with one tap in any email.
Your rights
You can ask at any time to see the data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete your account and data, or to stop receiving emails. Email hello@shazsavvy.com from the address you signed up with and we will act within 14 days. This site follows the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree Law No. 45 of 2021).
Security
Passwords are hashed, admin sign in needs an emailed code, the library books are never sent to your browser as files, and all traffic to the site is encrypted. No system is perfect. If we ever discover a breach that affects you, we will tell you.
Changes and contact
This page may change as the site grows. The date at the top tells you when it last did. Questions: hello@shazsavvy.com. Last updated 15 October 2026.
