Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
1. Who This Policy Applies To
This policy explains how data is handled when you visit this portfolio website or submit the contact form. In plain terms: I only collect what is needed to run the site and reply to messages.
2. Data Collected
Depending on how you use the site, the following data may be processed:
- Contact form data: name, email address, and message content you submit.
- Anti-spam signal: a hidden honeypot field used only to detect bot submissions.
- Technical request data: standard server and security logs (for example IP address, user-agent, request path, and timestamp) generated by hosting/runtime infrastructure and API middleware.
3. How Data Is Used
- To respond to your message or request.
- To protect the site from abuse, spam, and excessive requests.
- To operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the website and API.
This project does not use a first-party database to store contact messages, user accounts, or persistent user sessions at this time.
Your data is not sold, rented, or shared for ad targeting.
4. Legal Bases (Where Applicable)
- Consent: when you voluntarily send a message through the contact form.
- Legitimate interests: for site security, abuse prevention, logging, and service reliability.
- Legal obligations: where retention or disclosure is required by law.
5. Third-Party Processors
This project uses external services to provide core functionality:
- InputHaven: contact form submissions are posted from the frontend directly to InputHaven using your submitted form fields.
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: may process technical logs required to serve the site and API.
These providers process data under their own terms and privacy notices.
6. Cookies and Tracking
This codebase does not include first-party analytics, ad trackers, or marketing pixels. However, essential cookies or similar technologies may still be set by the browser, hosting platform, or third-party services you interact with (for example external links or contact processing).
7. Data Retention
- Contact submissions are retained only as long as needed to review and respond, subject to provider tooling and legal requirements.
- Security and operational logs are retained for limited periods based on platform defaults and security needs.
Contact messages are retained by the configured third-party contact processor (InputHaven), not by an internal application database.
8. International Transfers
Data may be processed in countries other than your own, depending on infrastructure and third-party service locations. Where required, reasonable safeguards are applied under applicable law.
9. Your Rights
Subject to local law, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal data.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of personal data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To exercise any of these rights, email diptodeepbofficial@gmail.com.
10. Children's Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal data, please get in touch so it can be removed.
11. Security
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, including request limiting and security middleware. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed 100% secure.
12. Policy Updates
This policy may be updated from time to time. Material updates will appear on this page with a revised last-updated date.
