Freelance Hub Pakistan (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website at https://freelancehubpk.com.
1. Who We Are
Our website address is https://freelancehubpk.com. Freelance Hub Pakistan is an online resource run from a private residence in Bath Island, Karachi. You can reach us with any privacy‑related concerns at info@freelancehubpk.com
2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why We Collect It
We collect a limited amount of data to operate and improve our website.
Usage Data
When you visit the site, we record your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on each page. This helps us understand how visitors interact with our content and improve the user experience. We process this data on the basis of legitimate interest.
Personal Information
If you submit a contact form, subscribe to a newsletter, or leave a comment (if enabled), we collect your name and email address. We use this data solely to respond to your inquiries, send updates you’ve requested, or engage in discussion. We obtain this data based on your consent.
We do not collect sensitive personal data (such as health information) and do not process any automated decisions or profiling.
Comments
When visitors leave comments, we collect the data shown in the comments form, your IP address, and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment. Comments may remain on the site indefinitely unless you request deletion.
Media
Our site does not allow visitors to upload media. If we enable this in the future, we will update this section accordingly.
Contact Forms
If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message. We retain contact form submissions for up to 12 months for customer service purposes and do not use the information submitted for marketing unless you opt in separately.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies. The cookies we set include:
- Essential cookies – These keep the site running (e.g., remembering your cookie preferences).
- Analytics cookies – We use tools like Google Analytics to measure website performance and understand visitor behaviour. These cookies may track how long you stay on the site and which pages you visit, but they do not identify you personally. You can opt out by adjusting your browser settings or installing the Google Analytics opt‑out browser add‑on.
If we embed content (e.g., videos) from third‑party websites, those sites may also set cookies and collect data about your interaction with the embedded content. We do not control those cookies. Please review their privacy policies for more information.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about our visitors. Google may set cookies on your device to track usage and compile statistics. You can learn more about how Google processes this data in Google’s Privacy & Terms. If you wish to opt out of Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics Opt‑out Browser Add‑on.
3. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the site, such as:
- Email marketing services (e.g., Mailchimp) – for sending newsletters if you subscribe.
- Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) – for understanding how visitors use the site.
- Spam detection services – to reduce automated spam in comments or contact forms.
Each third party is bound by confidentiality agreements and processes data according to its own privacy policy.
4. How Long We Retain Your Data
We keep analytics data for up to 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Contact form submissions are kept for up to 12 months. If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely unless you request deletion.
5. What Rights You Have Over Your Data
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access – Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification – Request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion – Request deletion of your personal data (subject to certain exceptions, such as comments or records we must keep for legal or security purposes).

For visitors from the European Union, personal data may be transferred outside the EU and is protected through standard contractual clauses or similar mechanisms.
7. How We Protect Your Data
We use technical measures such as HTTPS encryption, secure passwords, and access controls to protect your data. While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we follow industry best practices to safeguard your information.
8. What Data Breach Procedures We Have in Place
In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will promptly evaluate the risk, notify affected users if required by law, and work with our hosting and software providers to address the issue. We maintain a record of potential vulnerabilities and update our systems regularly.
