Introduction
Pakistan Ki Shaan (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a free platform that celebrates the stories and achievements of Pakistani people. We respect your privacy and are committed to collecting only the information we need to run the platform, and to using it responsibly. This policy explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
Form submissions
When you submit a nomination through our Get Featured form or send us a message through our contact form, we collect the details you provide, which may include:
- Your name
- Your email address
- Contact or social media links you choose to share (for example, a LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook profile)
- Information about your profession, city, and story
- A photo URL, if you choose to provide one
Usage data
We track basic engagement metrics on the platform, such as how many times a profile has been viewed and how many likes it has received. These counters are used to highlight popular stories and are not linked to your identity.
Comments and feedback
If you leave feedback or a comment on a profile, we store the text you submit along with any name or identifier you provide with it. Please avoid including personal information in public comments that you would not want visible to other visitors.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Review nominations and decide who to feature
- Create and publish features, including sharing them on our website and social media channels
- Respond to your messages and questions
- Display engagement metrics such as view and like counts
- Moderate comments and feedback to keep the community respectful
- Improve the platform and understand which stories resonate
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Data Storage
Content and submissions on Pakistan Ki Shaan are stored in Sanity, a hosted content management system that acts as our data processor. Sanity stores and delivers the content of this website on our behalf under its own security and privacy commitments.
Third-Party Services
We keep third-party services to a minimum. Currently this may include:
- Sanity — content management and data storage (see above)
- Hosting provider — serves the website to visitors
- WhatsApp — if you choose to message us on WhatsApp, your conversation is also subject to WhatsApp’s own privacy policy
We do not currently run third-party advertising networks or behavioural tracking on this site. If that changes, we will update this policy.
Cookies
This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies. Any cookies or similar browser storage that may be used are limited to what is strictly necessary for the site to function.
