Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to my portfolio. I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how this website handles your data.

2. Information We Collect

This website does not collect personal details such as your name, email address, or phone number. There are no account creation features or contact forms that store data.

However, we store certain preferences on your device for functional purposes and collect automated Usage Data via Vercel Web Analytics. This includes:

• Technical Data: Information such as browser type, operating system, device type, and approximate geographic location at country level.
• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring websites.
• Local Preferences Data: We store your preferred site theme (e.g., 'dark' or 'light' mode) in your browser's Local Storage. This data is non-personal and is used solely to enhance your user experience.

3. How We Use Your Information

We collect this non-personal data solely for the following purposes:

• To monitor the usage of the portfolio (analytics).
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.
• To improve the content and layout based on visitor interests.

4. Cookies and Tracking

This website uses Local Storage for functionality and Vercel Web Analytics for usage monitoring.

• Local Storage: We use your browser's Local Storage to save your site theme and language preference. This is a non-tracking, functional storage mechanism, and the data is never sent to our servers.
• No Tracking Cookies: The Vercel Analytics tool we use does not place cookies on your device for tracking purposes.
• No Persistent IP Storage: Your IP address is not stored. It is used temporarily to determine a unique visitor hash (for counting visitors) and is discarded shortly after.
• No Cross-Site Tracking: We do not track your browsing habits across other websites.

5. Third-Party Links

This website may include links to third-party websites (such as GitHub, LinkedIn, or project demos). Clicking on those links may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements.

6. Contact and Your Rights

Although we do not collect personal data, if you believe that any personal information or image belonging to you has been inadvertently included on this website, or if you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you have the right to request its removal.
