Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This page explains what information this website collects when you visit, why, and how it's used. Mohammad Hijazi operates mohammadhijazi.com as a personal and professional site. If anything here is unclear, email hello@mohammadhijazi.com and it'll get answered directly.
Information collected through the contact form
When you fill out the contact form on this site, the name, email address, and message you enter are sent through Netlify Forms, the hosting provider this site runs on. That submission is stored in Netlify's dashboard and forwarded by email so it can be read and responded to. It is not sold, shared with advertisers, or used for anything beyond replying to your message.
A hidden anti-spam field ("honeypot") is included in the form to filter out automated bot submissions. It does not collect any additional information about you.
Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand general traffic patterns, such as how many people visit, which pages are read, and roughly where visitors are located by country or city. This is aggregate, statistical information. It is not used to identify you personally, and this site does not use it to build advertising profiles or sell data to third parties.
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to distinguish visitors. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites using Google's official browser opt-out tool, or by blocking cookies in your browser settings.
Embedded content from other sites
A few things on this page are pulled in from other services rather than hosted directly:
- YouTube videos are embedded in the Training section. If you play one, YouTube (Google) may set its own cookies and collect viewing data according to Google's Privacy Policy. This site has no control over that data once you interact with an embedded video.
- Recent blog posts shown near the bottom of this site are pulled live from mindsoupblog.com (hosted on Google's Blogger platform), Mohammad's separate blog. No personal data is exchanged in that process, it's a one-way feed of publicly published post titles and summaries.
- Approximate location for the world map. When you scroll to the map section, this site makes a request to a third-party IP-lookup service (ipapi.co) to check which country you're likely visiting from, so it can highlight that country if Mohammad has worked there. Only a general, city-or-country-level estimate is used, never a precise location, and nothing about this lookup is stored or linked back to you afterward.
What this site does not do
- It does not load fonts from Google Fonts or any other third-party font service. The typefaces used here (Barlow Condensed and Inter, both open source under the SIL Open Font License) are served directly from this site, so no request for them ever reaches an outside server.
- It does not sell or rent visitor data to anyone.
- It does not run third-party advertising or ad-tracking networks.
- It does not knowingly collect information from children.
Your choices
You can browse this site without submitting the contact form, in which case no personal information is knowingly collected beyond standard analytics. If you'd like a copy of any data associated with a message you've sent, or would like it deleted, email hello@mohammadhijazi.com and it will be handled directly.
Changes to this policy
If what this site collects or how it's used changes meaningfully, this page will be updated and the date at the top will reflect that.
