Legal & policies.
The terms that govern the use of this website, how personal data is handled, and how cookies and similar technologies are used. Last updated 1 February 2026.
Terms of Service
1. Acceptance of these terms
This website (the "Site") is the personal portfolio of Reehan ("I", "me", "my"), a creative technologist based in Milan, Italy. By accessing or using the Site you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the Site.
2. Purpose of the Site
The Site exists to present my work across architecture and interiors, photography, writing and digital design, and to allow prospective clients and collaborators to get in touch. Nothing on the Site constitutes professional, legal, financial or architectural advice, nor an offer capable of acceptance, unless expressly agreed in a separate written engagement.
3. Intellectual property
All content on the Site — including text, photographs, drawings, designs, layouts, logos, and source code — is owned by me or used with permission and is protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. You may view and share links to the Site for personal, non-commercial reference. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, or create derivative works from any content without my prior written consent.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Site in any way that is unlawful, that infringes the rights of others, or that could damage, disable or impair the Site or interfere with anyone else's use of it. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site or its underlying systems.
5. Enquiries and commissions
Contacting me through the Site does not create a client relationship. Any commission or project is governed exclusively by a separate written agreement setting out scope, fees, timelines, ownership and deliverables. Until such an agreement is signed, no obligations arise on either side.
6. Third-party links
The Site links to external sites and platforms (for example LinkedIn, Instagram, Substack and project deployments hosted on Netlify). I am not responsible for the content, availability or privacy practices of those third parties, and links do not imply endorsement.
7. Disclaimer and limitation of liability
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site, or from reliance on any content it contains. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. Changes and governing law
I may update these terms from time to time; the version published on the Site at the time of your visit applies. These terms are governed by the laws of Italy, and any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Milan. Questions may be sent to reehanulkarima@gmail.com.
Privacy Policy
1. Who is responsible for your data
The data controller for personal data collected through this Site is Reehan, based in Milan, Italy, reachable at reehanulkarima@gmail.com. This policy explains what personal data is collected, why, and the rights you have under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Italian data-protection law.
2. What data is collected
This is a static portfolio and collects as little as possible. If you contact me by email, phone or social media, I receive the details you choose to share — typically your name, contact details and the content of your message. When you browse, my hosting provider may process limited technical data such as your IP address, browser type and pages requested, in server logs used for security and reliability.
3. How and why it is used
I use the information you send solely to respond to your enquiry, to discuss and deliver a possible commission, and to keep necessary records. Technical log data is used to operate, secure and improve the Site. I do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling, and I do not sell it.
4. Legal basis for processing
I process your data on the basis of your consent (when you reach out to me), the performance of, or steps toward, a contract (when we discuss a project), and my legitimate interest in maintaining a secure and functional website. Where consent is the basis, you may withdraw it at any time.
5. Sharing and third parties
The Site is hosted by third-party infrastructure providers (such as Netlify) who process technical data on my behalf as processors. Email and messaging providers handle correspondence you initiate. I share personal data only where necessary to provide these services, to comply with the law, or with your consent. Some providers may process data outside the EEA under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. Retention
I keep enquiry correspondence for as long as needed to deal with your request and, where a project follows, for the duration of our engagement plus any period required by law or for legitimate record-keeping. Server logs are retained only for a short period by the hosting provider.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these, email reehanulkarima@gmail.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian supervisory authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
8. Security, children and changes
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, though no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. The Site is not directed at children under 16, and I do not knowingly collect their data. I may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by the date at the top of this page.
