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.
