Who operates this website

This website is operated by Ahmed Almusawi, a composer and sonic branding specialist based in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. It is a personal professional portfolio: it exists to show a body of work.

For any question about this notice, or about personal data in connection with this website, write to ahmed@almusawi-int.com.

The short version

This site has no contact form, no accounts, no sign-up, no newsletter and no payments. It runs no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind.

It sets no cookies of its own, and it stores nothing in your browser — no localStorage, no sessionStorage, no fingerprinting. Nothing you do on this site is measured or profiled.

Two things still involve other parties, and both are described below: the company that hosts the site keeps ordinary server logs, and project pages display video thumbnails served by YouTube.

What is collected

Nothing is collected by this website directly. There is no field on any page that asks you for information.

If you choose to write to the email address published on the contact page, your message and your email address reach the operator through ordinary email. That correspondence is kept only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose it was sent for, for legitimate record-keeping, or to meet an applicable legal obligation — and it is not used for anything else.

Hosting and server logs

The site is served through Cloudflare. Like any web host, it processes the technical information a browser sends in order to deliver a page and to keep the service secure and available: your IP address, the page requested, the time of the request, and your browser and device type.

This processing happens before any code of this site runs and is not something the site can switch off. It is necessary to serve the website at all, and it serves the legitimate purpose of delivering and protecting it. Retention of those logs is determined by the hosting provider under its own terms.

Embedded media

Project pages show thumbnail images for videos. Those images are served by YouTube, so loading a project page causes a request to Google servers, and your IP address and browser details reach Google as part of it.

Video, Spotify and Apple Music players are different: none of them loads automatically. Each sits behind a plate that you have to click. Until you click it, this site makes no request to YouTube, Spotify or Apple for a player, and none of them can set a cookie in your browser. Clicking is the choice; nothing is loaded on your behalf beforehand.

Once a player is opened, that service is in control of the connection and its own privacy notice applies. Video is embedded through youtube-nocookie.com, which does not set YouTube’s usual tracking cookies.

Links to other places

The site links out to profiles and releases on YouTube, Instagram, Spotify, Apple Music and Anghami, and to a separate site operated by the same person. Following a link takes you to a service governed by its own privacy notice; this notice does not cover them.

Fonts and assets

Typefaces, images and every other asset are served from this site’s own domain. No font service, CDN or asset host is called, so no third party learns which pages you read from those requests.

Cookies

This website sets no cookies. Because it sets none and loads no third-party service without your click, there is no consent banner: there would be nothing for it to ask about.

If you open an embedded player, the service behind it may set its own cookies at that point, under its own terms. You can clear or block those through your browser at any time.

Your rights

Oman’s Personal Data Protection Law — Royal Decree No. 6/2022, with its Executive Regulations issued under Ministerial Decision No. 34/2024 — gives you rights over personal data relating to you. These include the right to be informed about how it is processed, to obtain a copy of it, to have it corrected or erased, to have processing restricted or object to it, and to withdraw consent where processing rests on consent.

In practice, for this website that concerns correspondence you have sent to the published email address, since that is the only personal data the operator holds. To exercise any of these rights, write to ahmed@almusawi-int.com. You are also entitled to complain to the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, which supervises the law in Oman.

Data outside Oman

The hosting infrastructure that serves this site is operated internationally, so the technical request data described above may be processed on servers outside the Sultanate of Oman. The same is true of any embedded service you choose to load, and of the email provider through which correspondence reaches the operator.

Children

This site is a professional portfolio and is not directed at children. It asks no one for personal information, of any age.

Changes

If what the site does changes, this notice changes with it, and the date above is updated. There is no mailing list to notify, so the date is the record.
