Privacy Policy

I may collect the following types of information:

1.1 Information You Provide Directly

• Contact Information: Name, email address, phone number, and company name when you reach out via email, contact forms, or scheduling links.
• Project Details: Information about your business, project requirements, technical specifications, and budget range shared during consultations.
• Communication Records: Emails, messages, and notes from our conversations regarding your project.

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

• Log Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, and timestamps when you visit my website.
• Device Information: Screen resolution and device type for analytics and performance optimization.

1.3 Project-Related Data

• Client Assets: Design files, content, images, databases, and credentials you provide for project development.
• Third-Party Access: API keys, server credentials, and platform access tokens required for integration work.

I use your information for the following purposes:

• Service Delivery: To communicate about your project, understand requirements, and deliver the agreed-upon development work.
• Communication: To respond to inquiries, send project updates, and discuss technical decisions.
• Billing & Invoicing: To process payments, send invoices, and maintain financial records for tax purposes.
• Website Improvement: To analyze traffic patterns and improve my portfolio website's performance and content.
• Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and contractual obligations.

I do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. I only share data with third parties when necessary for service delivery:

• Hosting & Infrastructure: Your project may be deployed on cloud platforms (AWS, Vercel, Render) where data is stored on their secure servers.
• Payment Processors: Payment information is handled by secure third-party processors (PayPal, Razorpay, bank transfers) — I do not store card details.
• Communication Tools: Emails and messages may pass through providers like Gmail, Slack, or Zoom.
• Legal Requirements: I may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect my legal rights.

I take reasonable measures to protect your data:

• Encryption: Sensitive credentials and API keys are stored encrypted. Project repositories use private GitHub/GitLab repositories.
• Access Control: Client data is accessible only to me unless explicitly shared with your team.
• Secure Communication: I prefer encrypted channels for sharing sensitive information.
• Regular Cleanup: Temporary files, test data, and unused credentials are deleted after project completion.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While I strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, I cannot guarantee absolute security.

• Project Data: Retained for the duration of the project and up to 12 months after completion for support purposes, unless you request earlier deletion.
• Communication Records: Retained for 2 years for legal and tax compliance.
• Financial Records: Retained for 7 years as required by Indian tax law.
• Website Analytics: Anonymized after 26 months.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data I hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data (subject to legal retention requirements).
• Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service provider.
• Restriction: Request limitation on how I process your data.
• Objection: Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

To exercise any of these rights, contact me at iamkunalkumar2000@gmail.com. I will respond within 30 days.

My portfolio website uses minimal tracking:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic website functionality.
• Analytics: I may use privacy-focused analytics (e.g., Plausible or Vercel Analytics) that do not use cookies or track individuals across sites.
• No Advertising Cookies: I do not use tracking for advertising purposes.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. This will not affect your ability to browse the site, though some features may be limited.
