Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026
1. The Philosophy
Privacy is a design principle, not a checkbox. I treat your data exactly how I want mine to be treated: with respect and total transparency. I optimize for Signal over Noise, collecting only what is necessary to understand how this site serves you.
2. What I See
Analytics: I use Google Analytics 4 to see which projects resonate. This data is anonymized; I see that "someone from a city" visited, not "You".
Search: Google Search Console shows me the search terms that lead people here so I can provide better content.
Technical Logs: Basic info like your IP and browser type are kept briefly by Vercel to keep the site secure and fast.
3. What I Don't Do (The Safety List)
No Selling: I never sell, trade, or share your info with marketers. Ever.
No Creepiness: I do not use advertising pixels, remarketing tags, or invasive cross-site trackers.
No Forms: I don't use contact forms that sit in a database. If we talk, it’s because you chose to email me directly.
4. Your Rights & Control
As a "Data Principal" under India’s DPDP Act 2023, you have total control:
Erasure: You can ask me to delete any email communication we've had at any time.
Opt-Out: If you don't want to be part of the analytics signal, just click 'Decline' on the banner or clear your browser cookies.
Correction: You have the right to ask me to fix any incorrect information.
5. Trusted Partners
I use a few industry-standard "Data Processors" to keep the lights on:
Google: For Analytics and Search Console performance.
Vercel: For secure hosting and global content delivery.
Namecheap: For managing the website address.
6. Contact & Grievance
If you have questions, concerns, or a grievance regarding your privacy, please reach out to me directly. I am the Data Fiduciary for this site.
