All content on this site - including text, code samples, project screenshots, graphics, and the overall design - is the property of Abdelatif Baha unless otherwise stated. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use any content commercially without prior written permission.

4. Analytics & performance tracking (Microsoft Clarity)
This site uses Microsoft Clarity, a behavioural analytics service provided by Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052, USA). Clarity helps understand how visitors interact with the site by collecting usage and performance data.
4.1 What is collected
Microsoft Clarity collects the following categories of data on your behalf:
- Session recordings - a replay of your mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, and page navigation during a visit.
- Heatmaps - aggregated click, scroll, and movement data across all visitors.
- Interaction events - rage clicks, dead clicks, JavaScript errors, and performance timing metrics.
- Device & browser data - browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, and device category (desktop / tablet / mobile).
- Session metadata - entry and exit pages, referrer URL, pages visited, and time spent on site.
- Approximate geolocation - country and region derived from your anonymised IP address. The full IP address is never stored.
- Pseudonymous identifiers - a unique user ID and session ID stored in
first-party cookies (
_clck,_clsk) and a cross-site Microsoft identifier (MUID,CLID). These do not contain your name or email address, but are considered personal data under the GDPR.
4.2 What is NOT collected
Clarity applies content masking by default (Balanced mode). Input boxes, password fields, and dropdown menus are always masked regardless of settings - their actual content is never transmitted. Numbers and letter sequences are replaced with placeholder characters client-side before any data leaves your browser.

4.5 Data storage & transfers
Data is stored on Microsoft Azure infrastructure in the United States. For visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, data is transferred to the US on the basis of the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision of 10 July 2023) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) concluded between Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited and Microsoft Corporation.
4.6 Microsoft's independent use of data
Under Microsoft Clarity's Terms of Service (Section 4.4(c)(iii)), Microsoft may use the collected data - including behavioural profiles - for its own purposes, which may include advertising and user profiling. Microsoft acts as an independent data controller for this purpose, separate from AB.Dev.Web's use. Please refer to Microsoft's Privacy Statement for full details.
4.7 Legal basis
The legal basis for processing is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). For visitors outside the EEA, consent is still requested as a matter of best practice. You may withdraw your consent at any time (see section 7).
4.8 External CDN requests
Beyond Clarity, this site makes no requests to external font or icon CDNs. All fonts are self-hosted (WOFF2) and all icons are inlined as SVG directly in the HTML. No third-party CDN (Google Fonts, Font Awesome, etc.) is contacted during a normal page visit.
5. External links
Project cards and social icons may link to external websites (GitHub, LinkedIn, live demos, etc.). AB.Dev.Web is not responsible for the content, availability, or privacy practices of those external sites.
6. Disclaimer

7. Your rights (GDPR & privacy)
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the GDPR (or equivalent national law):
- Right of access - obtain confirmation of whether personal data about you is being processed and receive a copy.
- Right to rectification - request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to erasure - request deletion of your personal data. Note: because Microsoft Clarity stores data at the project level, individual session data cannot be deleted in isolation; we can action such requests by deleting the relevant Clarity project.
- Right to restrict processing - request that processing be limited in certain circumstances.
- Right to object - object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent - withdraw your analytics consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. You may do so by clearing your cookies and opting out via the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info (select Microsoft).
- Right to lodge a complaint - file a complaint with your national data protection authority.
To exercise your rights regarding data collected via the contact form, or to submit a data subject request, contact: contact@abdevweb.com. We will respond within 30 days.
